Have you tried running the Lackey updater itself? The latest build is April 11.

Well, that would be the problem.

What is the Lacky Updater? What I have done so far is go to Preferences choose the 2E plugin, click Install or Update this Plugin, and it says I have an update from 29 March. How do I get this latest version?

Go into the folder where you installed Lackey and run LackeyCCG Updater.exe.

Hopefully that will work.

Alas, it doesn't...because I have a Mac. And I don't see LackeyCCG Updater of any file suffix in my Lackey folder.

Hm.

The other method the developer suggests is to download the latest release, extract only the main executable from the archive (a .app file for a Mac, I believe) and copy that into your Lackey folder, overwriting the old one. That will (according to him) preserve all your settings, plugins, etc and give you the latest release.

Out of curiosity, what executables do you see in your Lackey folder?

I just did what you say above - download Lackey and drag only the application itself into my existing folder. This replaced the old version and now it works fine. Yay!

Thanks for the advice!

Re: your curiosity: "LackeyCCG" is the sole application / executable file in my Lackey folder.

Was there an updater in the archive?

Hmm, asked on Lackey's forum.

...

When working, it works better than the windows updater.
Apparently it's been broken for almost a year.

According to the public Whois database, the domain name - lackeyccg.com - expired on May 18th which is why Tyler is seeing the lady (a common parked page for Enom-registered domain names) As the domain name is no longer going to where it was going to previously, there's no way to connect to the server until the domain name is renewed.

Michael,
not a programmer, just a knower of stuff

Thanks. Please let us (me) know. I had to delay a round of our online tournament. I'm hoping it's back up this week.
