Current Issue with the Download Client

Hi All,

Some of you re currently experiencing an issue with the Download Client. Experiencing a crash after 5 minutes or so of play on the client. 

The issue we have is in version 23 of Adobe Air. This is the latest update thay was released on 13 September. Running any version prior to 23 will remove the issues. 

To rollback to 22 you will need to uninstall version 23. You can then visit https://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html and download the relevant Adobe AIR 22 runtime.

We are continuing to work on a fix for version 23.

    If the problems persist I would still advise playing on the browser until we fix the issue

    Hi James,

    Grumpy Jac said the same thing, & it's been 100% fine for me, too, (though only 6 tables for me) & thousands of others.
     
    It has affected many players though, apparently those who have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Air. For whatever reason, I, & presumably most others, have yet to receive that "Download latest version of Adobe Air" prompt. 

    No idea when I will, but if it popped up today, I think I'd ignore it, & continue on the older version.

    Hopefully, Sam's team will get it resolved asap. It's not good for anyone, either side of the table.

    I had downloaded the latest version and it crashed a number of times. Uninstalled and went back to the older version so hopefully will be ok going forward.

    Yup, that was the advice from Winston Wolf, & is probably the short term answer. Glad to hear you have got a workaround. The whole thing is a perfect pain, but internet software is such a complex beast.

    Be assured it is all hands on deck in the Tech Dept.

    Morning Sam,
                     I followed shad8604's advice and link in the feedback section thread last night. I have just 6 tabled for over an hour on the download with no problems. Previously it would crash within ten minutes. Will just have to remember not to click any Adobe updates until you have found a fix. Hope this helps,

                                                      Ed.

    Hi,

    To prevent Adobe AIR from attempting to install the latest version when you open the Download Client, you can use their SettingsManager application to disable this: https://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/air-2-0-auto-update.html

    I have been getting the update pop up for a couple of days now.  I have been ignoring it because of getting home from work late and needing to get onto the client quick to get into the games I play.

    Tonight I got in from work early, so managed to update.

    Then came here.

    Oh man!
