Issue resolved: "Could not find game data"

[qreeves]

The recent name change on GitHub seems to have triggered an issue with our auto-updater which fell through the cracks on my local system. I've managed to work around the issue, but if you get "Could not find game data", please just run the game again, the update will fix the updater the first time and should work properly on subsequent attempts.

I can confirm that it works now, but I needed to uncheck 'read-only' attribute on /data folder

Hello, I'm a regular user and gamer. It is not working for me at all with Version 1.6.0
I can't fix it by restarting the game with Windows 10.
Removing the read-only attribute does not work as well.
I also tried to install it for various users and changed permissions etc.

Can you provide a log of the output from the updater script, redeclipse.bat ?

make sure permisions for these folders are set to read and write:
RE install folder/data
documents/games/redeclipse/cache

then delete version.txt from RE install folder and the same file in /bin folder
then run redeclipse.bat again :)

That was clunky, but it worked :)
Thanks for that. My kid is really happy now we can play again together hehe.

Will there be a fix that'll make it a bit mor snazzy next time? :)
Thanks for your work.

It's a one time fix to address an issue with renaming our GitHub organisation and only affects people who tried to update while it was broken. I'll probably be ditching the hacky updater in favour of getting people to use the GameJolt client or Steam in v2.0.

I'll be using the Steam version then when its out.
Thanks 🥇
