Updater keeps timing out and manually updating doesn't work

[UnfinishedHW]

every time I try to update to 8.0 the updater keeps timing out

Hi UnfinishedHW! Try doing the update manually, follow the installation instructions and use the latest release zip file.

[UnfinishedHW]

I updated it manually but it's running the old version still.

[aldoram5]

How are you doing the manual update exactly?

[UnfinishedHW]

I dragged the new files into the game folder and replaced the old ones. I did this twice and the game log said that the mod for 8.0 was defined twice, after that I deleted the extra mod update. So im pretty sure that the mod update is detected but it wont update

Hi again UnfinishedHW! The part of dragging the new files into the game folder is correct but I don't understand exactly what you mean by: I did this twice and the game log said that the mod for 8.0 was defined twice, after that I deleted the extra mod update. Which game log said that? Do you still have that log? What exactly do you mean by deleted the extra mod update? Could you show us a screenshot of your game folder?

This is from the log I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code: ScriptError: Name (u'/home/potato/dddlc/080-dev/game/chess.rpy', 1524877353, 1) is defined twice, at lib/windows-i686/Monika_After_Story-0.8.0-Mod/chess.rpyc:3 and lib/windows-i686/chess.rpyc:3.

I dragged the files in before just putting the whole folder in. Everything outside of the folder is the same as inside and since it was defined twice i just deleted the folder and the game could run but only the old version

[aldoram5]

Alright, I can see the problem, you should only have the .rpyc files, the .rpy files are for development only. My suggestion is that you download another copy of DDLC from ddlc.moe, and then drag the contents of the released compiled version like you did the first time, never put the whole folder in, that doesn't work. That zip should look like this(I'm on mac so don't mind the different interface, just look at the files and folders): If the zip contains .rpy files that's not the correct one, use the one I linked.

Question, If i delete all of the .rpy files and re-import the .rpyc files, would that work, or should I just uninstall/reinstall the game and mod?

[aldoram5]

That should work too. If you still find issues by just deleting the .rypc files I recommend a clean install.

Ok, Thank you
