    if you have tried to run and the game fails with ''cannot update client'', close the game down and

    download the file from here

    rename the file to client.swf or get my version already renamed @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sg1...ew?usp=sharing

    copy that file to the game install directory @ C:\Users\<yourloginname>\AppData\Local\Ubisoft\The Settlers Online\Client

    now launch the game from within browser

    The answer is quite simply.... No, for an online game it's the worst start up procedure in the known galaxy.

    this is very annoying...I managed to get the game going before xmas event by downloading the swf file, but since this new update I am extremely frustrated.
    I have tried all the tips from the guide several different ways but keep getting Client can't be updated.
    Anyone else experiencing the same?

    I uninstalled my original standalone client and reinstalled it. Tried to start it so the client folder showed up in the directory. I downloaded the client.swf. Opened the file location and found the client folder. I opened that and it had Adobe Air, META-INF and the Client.exe files in it. No client.swf file was there to replace so I pasted the new client.swf file there. Tried to start the game and it still came back with Your client couldn't be updated.
    Is there something I missed? Please help

    have you tried the new updated BB guide or just players advice?

    after deleting the old one (with clearing cache) and also after installing the new one, have you done a win restart?

    also , did you tried starting the game in an incognito/safe mode browser?
    what browser you using? mozilla stopped flash with the latest update (85 i believe)
