petrossareply 11It should not be using lots of cpu and in testing here it isn't. Are you sure you installed the update correctly? Reduced 77%Original 709 x 568 Build 20 is not the updated beta. It should say 24 or 25 I think.

BUG: Stardock Central keeps asking me to install the update (after every reboot) on all three machines even though the About screen reports that I'm running v24 on all three machines. It's probably on the Stardock Central side of things, but I thought I'd report it here since it is only happening with Multiplicity 2 beta updates.

GREAT new version btw! Top drawer.

v24

BUG: Using the Client/Configure/Gear icon to check the connection on any machine comes back with a "Key must be the same error". Everything works fine, however, so this must be something odd in this particular section of verification code.
