Filter Forge 2 outdated message:

Getting the same thing.

I've already paid for FF 2.0 and need to get work done so I'm a little t'd off.

Looks like this version of the beta is time/date sensitive and ends today. I've download what's available and it's no different than what I have on the system already. Nice job FF...

And then when it asks you to update, there should ACTUALLY BE an update available! Just saying...

Hopefully they'll also add the ability to install to CS5, since it's released and some people are now using it (like me). Getting tired of the DLL error of pulling FF through the CS4 plugin folder. Also, thankfully, I still have FF 1.x installed but that does nothing to replace the lost work from the lockup FF caused.

I was finally able to run the original version after much ado. Update did indeed freeze up photoshop causing a screeching halt. Setup continued to run in the background (task manager) so even first version did not want to start until I figured out it was still running. Wee bit worried that I'm going to run into future issues as I cannot afford update right now...lost my job recently

Here's to a better evening.

Comment On first post:

Yes! I bet everyone got the SAME message. I downloaded & installed, what I assumed to be, the NEW version, two separate times,.. .. & got the SAME message again, :
'This program version is outdated and cannot be used anymore. Please download a newer version from www.filterforge.com'
I wrote customer service. Must be a bug of some type?
Filter Forge 1, works fine.

Have a good evening.

I fell into this trap too. I'd think twice about setting the date back. This can cause certain protection schemes to go into 'Permafail' mode.

I'm mystified as to why an updated version would be required when there is nothing on the FF site to satisfy this requirement. I'm also surprised that [mis]direction to the site comes by way of a cryptic error message. The FF v1.x method of delivering updates from within a running program seemed a lot more bulletproof than this.

Most amazingly, with so many reports of the identical problem, why has there been no word from the author(s) providing us with the nature and time-line for a fix? Yes, I realize that this was a 4 day weekend, but some of us wasted a lot of time doing just as we were instructed.

I'm guessing this a built in FAIL that was implemented long ago when they thought the new version would be out by now.

Still, I lost a whole day of work and I don't get many of these chunks of time.

I don't like the sound of that - setting it back now. I hope I have not screwed it up. The last thing I need is to be on the phone for a day trying to get my apps reactivated.

Glad to see I am not alone on this problem. I was afraid the problem was on my end, but it seems to be on FF end. Hope we all have it straightened out tomorrow.

If anyone is interested in trying out this bug it pops up after the set date and time.....It pops up at 5-31-2010 and the time is 5P.M. exactly EST on the east coast of the US...I am in Detroit so that is what I set my time for....Set your time zones to match....

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the inconvenience!

We're fixing this, the update will be available for download later today.

Hey Victoria,

Thanks Victoria, we all will be looking forward to that!

Have a GREAT day!

excellent

Thanks for fixing this

The new AA options are cool - the diagnostics are really interesting, it should be a nice sanity check when trying to see why filters run slowly.

Thanks for setting things right with the FF world again.

This is annoying, i take it there is nothing new in this update either but some thing set every few months or so and all betas will keep timing out?

Well, on the positive side, FF will feel like they need to throw in some more goodies each time it runs out.....to make up for the inconvenience.....
