I see both Beethro's Teacher and Complex Complex as (Updated!) as well. However, I can play them. These two holds and The Choice all appear as not published to CNet.
I am playing GatEB off steam. I own all the steam DLC through keys I received from the Caravel forum. My subscription to CNet is valid and I connect to it regularly.
Here are screenshots
Is there a workaround? Can I somehow delete the holds and download them from CNet?

Thanks

I have verified this bug and found where the issue lies, I don't know when I'll have it fixed because it requires regenerating dat files for Steam DLCs and updating them on Steam.

Sorry for bumping, but this issue still persists. It would be nice for Steam users (who also subscribe to CaravelNet) to be able to upload scores and have access to demos for The Choice, Complex Complex and Beethro's Teacher.

Can you share with me what the issue is?

Bumping thread to make it less likely this slips through the cracks during all the fixes going on.

Skell, can you provide info on this?

Going from memory, and it's been a few years, the problem is that the Steam hold version does not match the version on caravelnet. Steam DROD sees that and shows that they are updated, but updating doesn't work because those holds are hardcoded into game files. I never managed to understand how to make steam build and build hold dat files so it's something that would have to be picked up by you.

Also I've assigned a couple of old tasks that were assigned to me which related mostly to the hold file - I figured you can make a decision whether to close them as not fixed or work on them.

Okay, that makes sense. I'll have to dust off my memories of this process, but I should be able to work through it and get this taken care of.

I've deployed the updated versions of Beethro's Teacher and Complex Complex to Steam.

CaravelNet scoring should work on them now, as well as having the latest version of the holds.

I've corrected the version of The Choice on Steam, so that hold is now recognized on CaravelNet as well.
