Any1 knows an solution?
Ignorant question i see now. I had been deleting and reinstalling genie yesterday to see if i could get it to work and didnt think to go check the update option in genie itself.
I just received the email from Eugene. Great service as always!
Enjoy your games everyone!
Close your GS17g and reopen it. Should tell you there's a new version. Then from main menu (big GS circle top left) go to Help & Support > Check for New Version. You'll find download link there.
From here I can only download the public version which doesnt use my key file. Could you tell me where to download the g edition?
thanks in advance
