Technical issues
Hi guys
we know a number of your are having technical issues and the team are working to fix them. We met with some people at Essen and they showed us some of the problems. The really annoying thing is we repeated the bugs on our iPads and they didn't occur. This is why they slipped through - there must be some combination of hardware and OS and button presses that leads to issues on iPad.
On the PC download issues we're unsure why some people are having problems and others are ok but we're working to resolve.
Thanks for your patience and we will have more soon and new versions ASAP.

Re: Technical issues
I am on the Operation Sealion in the Stop Line scenario and the turn advance button won't work about half way through. How do I fix this?

Re: Technical issues
OK the App has now fully loaded and works fine. (Took hours. Even with broadband line).
Have you ever considered some advice warning people how long a download will take? Of course, you may lose business if you do

Re: Technical issues
Hi,
I had to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit operating system due to work related issues. I backed up my FoG installer to an external drive thinking it would then be easy to reinstall my Reader. But when I want to reinstall it I get a repair option to execute which then leads to 2 message boxes. th efirst says Installation failed - COuld not query info: Invalid HTTP Status code (404). the second box was Installing Components - Downloading the runtime(1.2.0.RC6e).....but nothing downloads.
I'm not good at this stuff - how can I get my Rules back please? Sorry, I am refering to the FoG AM rules
Cheers

Re: Technical issues
You should try deleting the directory and all the files from the original installation directory. I suspect that will fix the problem.RobKhan wrote:Hi,

Re: Technical issues
How do I download the V2.04 reader? The solution for my problem seems to be to update from v.2.3. This is for PC win 7.
Also, I was hoping to read this on my kindle because reading on the computer sucks. Is the e-file in a format that Kindle can convert?

Edit: Sorry I missed the Kindle question. There isn't any version compatible with Kindle devices.

Re: Technical issues
The only supported platforms are Windows, MacOS, and I/OS (tablets only I believe, not iPhone). There is no Android support and the reader is an app, not just a document format like a PDF or Mobi format (Used by the Kindle).gull2112 wrote:How do I download the V2.04 reader?

Isn't that what happened when I reinstalled my operating system -everything was deleted, then all I had on my laptop was "the back to the beginning" Windows 7?

Re: Technical issues
It depends on how you do the reinstall. If you don't tell Windows to format the disk partition where Windows will be installed, you should be able to preserve user files. If you did the reinstall using rescue disks or a rescue partition, it may not let you make the choice.RobKhan wrote:"You should try deleting the directory and all the files from the original installation directory.

Re: Technical issues
Hi,
I have cleaned up the directory and reinstalled it again. It is now on my C drive and is installed. But now when I try to open I get a window with the Slitherine header but the window is mostly blank white. Nothing displays.

Re: Technical issues
HI All who work at or Support Slitherine, I still have not received a reply to my problem opening the FoGAM rules reader, and I need them very soon.
So I have edited out my complaint because as Murphy continues to rule, my reader now works
The annoying thing is I don't know why, but that's the norm for my relationship with computer technology
Cheers

Re: Technical issues
I've just downloaded the PC version of FoG 2.0 - I got the 2.03 version first and only spotted that there was a later version by looking through the forum!
In any event, neither seem to work. I am running a windows 8.1 system with standard windows firewall - I've specifcally allowed the reader access through the firewall. BUT all I seem to get is the cover images for the sections, when I click on the links nothing happens. When I was running the 2.03 version I didn't even see the cover images.
Is this terminally broken, if not how do I fix it?
Regards,
John

Re: Technical issues
Hi John,
Please try the following:
1. Launch the reader and delete the downloaded ebook, by pressing the “i” displayed on the top right and clicking next on the "Delete" button.
2. After having doing this, please uninstall the reader.
3. Open the folder where the reader was installed, and delete any file or folder that might still be there after having uninstalled it.
4. Download the last reader version from the following link: http://www.slitherine.com/files/fog/rea ... v2.0.4.msi
5. Install it and redownload your ebooks again.
