I have downloaded the Embergen 0.7.5.8 beta but I am presented with an error saying that it cannot update when I open it.

Are we supposed to have access to the new V1.0.6 included with our subscription?

Hi,
we have already reported the issue to Embergen.

To solve, please locate wyUpdate.exe in the Embergen folder, then run it several times as Administrator, until the update is not completed:

Thanks Beppe.

I just tried this about 40-50 times. Maybe every 8th or 10th time it would download a small file and let me know there is an update, but when I pressed the "update" button it would fail again with the (403 - Forbidden) server error.

I guess I'll just have to wait for them to fix the AWS problem.

Sorry to hear, I was able to update after ~10 attempts :(
Yes, I hope they solve the issue asap!

ciao,
Beppe

I had the exact same issue for several weeks. I can't believe, but I really did get the update after about 100 tries.

Why am I getting "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden" when Embergen attempts to update? And is there no manual way of updating? Has anyone from Otoy addressed this issue?

Why we can't update to v1.0.8?

Still no update on this ?
Had to reinstall Embergen at one point and now I can't access any of my files because they were created in a version too recent ><

With only a few weeks of the Black Friday deal left to run and Embergen staff publically stating they don't plan to renew the Otoy BF deal this year, it seems like this isn't going to get fixed.

Poor show from Embergen - still, they showed everybody what sort of company they are. Same with KitBash3D.
