If you disconnect from the Internet (e.g. unplug cable, disconnect from wifi) then DROD will notice it's offline and not try to connect to CaravelNet. Then you should be able to go into Change Settings and remove the CaravelNet login details.

If you guys are still having issues with the full 5.0.1 release from the Downloads page (not the beta attached to this thread) then I'd encourage you to create a new bug thread so they can be tracked properly. This beta patch doesn't have a fix for the crash issue.

Ack, I just made a mistake and applied the patch DROD5Patch5_0_1_6046.exe (1.6 MB) to my DROD 5.0.1 6060 full
install.

The effect was that DROD exited silently on startup.

The fix was to reinstall the full version.

Maybe its time to take down the 6046 patch now?

Sure, removing it now. I will add a 6060 patch soon for people who only want code fixes.

Hi, all TSS players!

Attached is a patch you can apply to your Windows demo or full version of TSS 5.0.0 or 5.0.1.

So, how exactly are Mac Users supposed to apply the update??

I believe you can download a full copy of 5.0.1 from the Downloads page.

Is 5.0.1.6060 the latest version of TSS as of this post?

Yes. 5.0.2 should be coming in the near future though.

Hello, all. I'm now able to come back to help with development, including Steam releases and bug fixes.

I'll work with skell to have remaining bugs and critical issues resolved for 5.0.2.

Which brings up another point. Given all the great changes Skell has going into 5.0.2, including the non-backwards-compatible addition of new scripting features, I think this release is a major version upgrade and should be called 5.1. Any objections?

I object to the "non-backwards-compatible addition of new scripting features." How far would the release date be pushed back if the new scripting features were made backwards-compatible?

Holds made in 5.0.2/5.1 are not compatible with 5.0.1, because there are new scripting commands. That's what Mike's talking about, and it does warrant making it 5.1 instead of 5.0.2. Just a version number change, no big deal.

Ohhhh. I was thinking about everyone who made holds using the previous 4 games.

Sooo... Does this patch work for the Demo version of TSS, or is this strictly for full version? I can't seem to get this download to install... I have Demo, and I'm stuck in someone else's Hold without the patch...

I don't know if the patch on the Downloads page works for the demo, but the demo installer has been updated to 5.0.1 so you should just be able to install that over the top: http://www.caravelgames.com/Articles/Games_2/DownloadTSS.html

Is there a (published) newer version? Is the source code available?

I tried importing the hold 'Persistence' (from the Architecture Forum) and received an error that the hold was created with a newer version.

My self compiled version is 5.0.1.6061 according to its readme, and is the latest version on the source code page.

There is a newer version in public beta here: http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=39273&page=1#402416

I imagine the public source code likely won't be updated until it comes out of beta.
