Online Updater Core updater failed

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Hey,

I got “Task failed” when I’m trying to use the Core Updater Menu. Every other Online Updater options (assets download, content download, shaders etc.) work just fine. My cfg file have correct buildbot link and I can pull it up in my browser with no problem. So I don’t think that is because of my firewall or router settings.

# URL to core update directory on buildbot.
# core_updater_buildbot_url = "http://buildbot.libretro.com"
# URL to assets update directory on buildbot.
# core_updater_buildbot_assets_url = "http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/"

Debug mode doesn’t provide anything specific. So I can’t figure out what could be wrong. I’ve tried several versions of RetroArch (1.7.3 stable, 1.7.3 nightly, 1.6.7) and all of them have the same issue. Can someone help me please?

Could be something between you and the server going wonky. Give it a couple of hours. If it doesn’t fix itself, let us know.

OK I got this.

First, my core updater url was wrong.

I’ve changed this: core_updater_buildbot_url = "http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/win-x86_64/latest/"

into this: core_updater_buildbot_url = "http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86_64/latest/"

Second, some how a second copy of my retroarch.cfg was present in c:\Users\Dragon\AppData\Roaming\ with the same bad settings. So no matter what I have changed in the config in RetroArch root directory it didn’t take any effect.

Now everything is fine. Thanks everyone.
