been away for a long time (last time played in the original servers), tried to replay it here but been 3 days of getting the same F*ing msg of "failed to connect to an upgrade information server". don't know what causes it, don't know how to fix it, all threads related on the forum are unanswered, so that's all for me.
The updater is broken happens some time, join there discord server and see if some1 can send you their 9d folder.
