Island Rum isn't updating to the new patch

[Zhym]

My Island Rum installation (version 090420241) isn't loading today's patch.  I get the "Checking for Update" message, then "Loading Manifest," then straight to "Ready to Play."  But when I try to log into a server, I get, "Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server 20240916_6320, client 20240730_6307."

 

Is there something I can do to force a patch?  Is there something wacky going on with my particular installation (which is always a possibility)?  Or do I just need to wait a while and it will fix itself? 

 

ETA: It looks like the manifest at http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml hasn't changed with this patch yet.

Im also running into the same  "Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server 20240916_6320, client 20240730_6307." message. Ive tried running the patcher in Tequila and it still gives me the message.

Tequila isn't supported so the manifest can be days or weeks before it's deployed. Swap to the launcher for instant access.

Spoke to Manga and for Mac they suggest moving to LaunchCat and only using Island Rum if LaunchCat doesn't work for you https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/

This is the first time that "days or weeks" has been given as the timeframe for updating the manifests.  All the previous patches have included manifest changes almost immediately (or at least, quickly enough that I never noticed a delay).  And as of about three weeks ago, Island Rum was still listed as one of the two ways to access Homecoming on a Mac:

 

I had trouble installing LaunchCat last time I tried it, due to issues having to do with my normal user account not having admin access for security reasons and LaunchCat not coping well with the CoH files being in a custom directory—although it sounds like at least some of those issues have been addressed (or at least have hackable workarounds).  

 

And if at some point you're going to stop updating the manifest entirely (or add a "days or weeks" period after each patch during which Island Rum users won't be able to access the game), I'd suggest giving us some warning that Island Rum (not Tequila) will not only be "unsupported" but will no longer work as a way to access the game.

 

So if y'all could prioritize getting the manifest updated so that Island Rum will still work for now while I figure out how to give a LaunchCat installation another try, I'd appreciate it.

It's a manual thing so we pinged the people responsible. When I say days or weeks it's often immediate, but it's a high level admin thing so if a combination of circumstances happens then it can take a while.
