Solution 1: Retry the Update

GameOn Developer Toolkit removes all update executable files from your system upon launch. This means when you launch GameOn Developer Toolkit, you will have the opportunity to redownload the update. If your update was corrupted between our servers and your PC, this solution should fix the issue.

Solution 2: Download the update manually.

The latest GameOn Developer Toolkit can be obtained by visiting the following URL:

It is important to remember, however, that the GameOn Developer Toolkit is designed to download and apply the update for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong. For this reason, we ask that you perform the following before downloading the update manually:

        • End the GameOn Developer Toolkit process.
        • Download and run the update manually.

Solution 3: We probably messed up.

This could be a multitude of reasons. We may have incorrectly pushed out an update or forgotten to add the correct identifying code. If this is the case, we’d appreciate the heads up.
