Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
I guess we will have to wait for the Matrix crew to come back to work in the morning...
Know thyself!
RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
Now that I think of it. I did have to allow my W10 "Firewall" to let the updater fetch the file´s. At first I thought it was strange as AB has no MP, but now it makes sense as it wanted to connect to whatever source is used (ftp?) to download the update.
Maybe that´s the issue with some...

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
Seems to have worked fine for me today!
It did ask Windows Firewall for permission to access, but other than that, it went without a hitch.

Maybe we should wait for version 1.003 that includes Santa's helpers on the Finish side. Those reindeer should be really cool to watch. And I dare anyone to fire on them!

Use the in-game updater. It works fine. But make sure you first move your install to C\program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\ Armored Brigade If it's not already there.
That didn't work for me.
I had 1.0 installed on E: drive and the in-game updater didn't work so I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it on the default C: drive, disabled my Windows Firewall and the in-game updater still doesn't work.
Neither of the two download links on Slitherine/Matrix site work. And I tried both Windows Internet Explorer and Edge browsers. I even tried with Safari on my Mac... NOTHING WORKS! NO WAY TO GET THE UPDATE.

It would be a shame if Soviet PVO would fire some S-200 on them... [:D]

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
I also cannot download the update. Have allowed the updater through my firewall, getting a Handle Cannot be Created Error. Also cannot download from either the primary or secondary ftp.
Please add it to Steam so that we don't have to jump through so many hoops. I still buy primarily from Matrix. But the auto updating of Steam is so easy.

Either simplify the update process, put in on steam, or send me a refund.

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
How weird: when I updated it on my laptop at work, everything went fine, but when I got home and decided to try it here - no luck. Either there's a problem with the servers that pops up regularly, or it's a common (possibly hardware-related) firewall issue. Hopefully Matrix can get this one sorted out quickly!

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
It still does not work for me, auto updater from start menu or manual download from ftp.
Maybe devs or someone already get patch could share via dropbox or google drive? It seems not heavy file after all.

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
to make sure it's not a firewall issue is simple, just go to
and make sure there is a tick in both boxes, if you installed the game as install as admin and run as admin, this isn't needed, as the game sets up the correct file permissions to run and auto update on the the first use, if you didn't, then that's any ones guess same as using a none default firewall or antivirus from the normal one which comes with windows.
this is for the in game updater, which btw works fine, and done it 3 times yesterday and just tried it again today, but the FTP links are WIP and have been reported, but until a reply is here saying it from staff, it's asap only i'm sorry to say

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
Well, it looks like they partially fixed it. The Auto updater still doesn't work but at least I can download the from the main link in the Member's section now.
RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
just tested it twice about an hour a go, and the in game auto updater worked fine, as long as you give it permissions to run and go through your firewall, it works and installs the update fine, if it's blocked, you get an error on no connection etc, so that's your firewall blocking it and not a game issue

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
Got the same thing here on first try (checked for updates from game menu). Clicked 'Back' and tried again, and it worked; v1.02 in splash screen. I was also monitoring my AV software (Bitdefender) and made sure it wasn't blocking the update connections (it wasn't).ORIGINAL: varangy
Oh well I get this error. Anybody else?
RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
if Bitdefender hasn't logged it as blocked, then it wasn't that which was stopping it, as anti virus and firewall log files they block / stop etc, if either wasn't blocking it on the first run, and you altered nothing and it worked on the 2nd, then just a poor handshake and bad connection on the first, but again not a issue with the installer, just an issue on the connection, eg too busy, poor connection, bad line and the list goes on to endless tbh but as long as it works in the end, that's all well and good.
but poor and or bad local loop issues happen, and can't be helped or put down to one end or the other, that's the joy of the internet i'm sorry to say

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
I'm gonna say it's probably a server issue - especially combined with the occasional Matrix site outages/slowness, it's not unlikely that at certain points (especially when a lot of users try to get on at the same time), the server isn't coping with the load. Fix your stuff, Matrix [:'(]
(today I again tried the update check from home, and this time it worked flawlessly)

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
I could download the patch today from the website and install it that way. At least now that link is working.
RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
glad your both sorted and up and running it's good to hear [;)]

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
I'm using Avast Premier, and FTP download link still does not work even though I turn off Avast. But start menu update worked after I turn off Avast.
So... I still think there is something else other than fire wall. Not sure what is that. But anyway I updated via start menu option.

RE: Armored Brigade updated to version 1.002
don't take it personally but Avast is one of the worse problems with stuff not working here, it's a very poor and game unfriendly AV, best advice is to add the game exe and the updater to the white or safe list and then you won't have an issue again, or better still get one that is more game friendly and imo 100% better
