Unable to update to v2.0.1

VCV Rack
1

My V2.0.0 is working fine, but it has a red dot by the Help menu, and an option to update to v2.2.1.

But when I click on the update option, VCV immediately shuts down, and nothing is updated.

I am running Win 10 Home 64 bit.

Anyone know a way forward?

I ran into this today. Open a browser (the same one Rack opens when you go to browse the library) and log into your VCV account, then open Rack and run the update.

I was logged into VCV rack from the browser. I tried shutting down V2, logging out of VCV, logging back in, and then running V2 and update - no luck :frowning:

Very odd. My library updates are working great - no delays or hiccups. Just the VCV update is failing. I’ll send an email to support

Not sure if it helps but I had the same issue and simply installed v2.0.1 from browser, kept all my settings so acted like an update.

Using the built-in update notification under help, closes the app and opens a browser with: https://api.vcvrack.com/download/RackPro?arch=win&version=2.0.1

This page gives me the following error: {“error”:“Token was not given or is invalid”}

reading above in the thread, I realized that I use Firefox/Brave/Vivaldi but am only logged in on one of the browsers. The link opens in Edge on Win10 (and Safari on Mac) because I leave them as the default browser. Logging in on Edge fixed it…

Thanks

Oh geez - I feel silly now. Yes, I also had the issue with the invalid token, but after logging into the correct browser, I didn’t realize it was downloading an installer exe. I assumed it was like the module updates. Doh

I’m all good now. Thanks.

Don’t use those api URL’s, they’re only for use by Rack itself. Instead just get the latest release from VCV Rack 2 - Virtual Eurorack Studio
