Describe your problem

New download and install of RPFM ver 1.6.2 (Qt ver 5.12.3) Followed manual setup guide and setup programs preferences. Guide also states it should prompt for new schema (it doesn't do that BTW either:-)

After saving preferenced, used about menu to 1) check for program updates (it is latest download but tested this anyway)

returns popup window "Update checker" with following text

Error while checking new updates There has been a problem when getting the lastest released version number, or the current version number. That means I fucked up the last release title. If you see this, please report it here: https://github.com/Frodo45127/rpfm/issues

2)then tried to update Schema using program about menu also returns popup window "Update Schema Checker" with following text

Error while checking new updates :( If you see this message, there has been a problem with your connection to the Github.com server. Please, make sure you can access to https://api.github.com and try again.

1.6.2 is an unsupported version, and all update checkers were rewritten in the 2.X releases, leaving 1.6.2 update checker working only up to 2.1. After that, if you didn't updated before, the update checker would fail. So, not a bug really.

As there are no more questions and I'm cleaning this a bit, I'll close this one.
