Updates
You never need to download LeanBot again. It updates itself.
A new LeanBot version
- LeanBot downloads the new version in the background.
- A blue Update ready bar appears at the top of the window.
- Press Install and restart when it suits you, then Install now — sure? to confirm. LeanBot closes for a few seconds and opens again.
Fixes and new features wait for you to press Install. Only a game update installs by itself (below).
Accounts set to Autostart (the ⟳ button on their card) come back by themselves. Others you start again from the Dashboard.
In a hurry? Check for updates in the top bar looks for a new version right now.
A DarkOrbit game update
When DarkOrbit releases a patch, the game's messages can change, and an old LeanBot would no longer understand them.
- Our server checks for a new game version every 10 minutes.
- When there is one, LeanBot is rebuilt for it and fully tested. Nothing is released if a test fails.
- Your LeanBot downloads the fix, installs it by itself and restarts, without asking, so it never flies your accounts on the old version.
Updates are small, often under a megabyte. LeanBot first checks 30 seconds after it opens, then every hour.
If a game update is out and the fix couldn't be downloaded yet, an amber bar at the top says so. Leave LeanBot open: it keeps trying.
Is it safe?
Only updates signed by us can install, so nobody can slip something else in.
