  • Added the ability to queue starbase upgrades for starbases that are under construction.

I have Entrenchment installed that updates fine, however when I try and update SINS I get the error message "File download is larger than expected".

Any ideas?

Click the orb in the top left, preferences > reset data. It's also possible that the server is still synching the files, and that's known to cause this issue.

Thank you that worked, although the updater is reporting the update size as 10.58kb when in reality its a few meg.
