The strange thing is that Tacview is forcing me to type in a serial (since this update). I bought the steam bundle together with CMO and didn`t receive a serial. So i cant use the tool anymore...

If it is on Steam, then you should update through Steam and Steam Beta and NOT use the stand-alone updater.

I didn`t do the manual update. It was an autmatic update through Steam.

[Hafer]

I`ll try to reinstall it.

[Hafer]

It doesn`t work. Same dumb window appears "Enter serial"....wtf!

[Hafer]

I opted out the beta and now it works (..)

[Vyrtuoz]

Sorry for the inconvenience, that's what beta versions are for

Did you buy Tacview on Steam? Did you buy the standalone version? Which license(s)?

I am going to double check if there is a problem with that.

[Hafer]

;-)

I bought the advanced version. So technical i must be able to use the beta. It worked since november but not after the patch 1.8.1

[Vyrtuoz]

Thank you for the feedback! I have fixed the regression and uploaded a new beta 4 on Steam.

Can you try it and confirm if it is working properly on your system?

[Hafer]

Now also the beta is working for me! 

Thanks a lot Vyrtuoz for the immediate response, fix and for the gorgeous tool!

Cheers

I've noticed that in the recent versions the blue indicators on the timeline are gone, are those going to come back at some point? They were really useful, particularly for server admin work.

Looks like a regression ... we'll fix that in a coming update. Thanks for letting us know!
