I'm having some problems getting any samples to run:

Running the Content Manager and attempting to click on e.g. the "Blocks" or "Engine" project gives me the same basic error: Failed to check project 'Blocks' content for user 'MarkSide': Failed to load ProjectDevice.

Attempting to create a new project via the Content Manager doesn't work either: It tells me "Please select at least one target device!" even though I've selected "Windows / Windows OpenGL" . . . the only option not greyed-out for me to select. (The top-level "Windows" checkbox was initially selected, but "Windows OpenGL was not; I manually enabled that sub-option.)

I've verified that the DeltaEngine environment-variable is correctly set. My user-account apparently works and is activated, else I wouldn't be able to post here. I've verified that my firewall isn't blocking the program from connecting to the server; and the error-message makes it sound like it is in fact able to connect, and that the error message originated from the content server itself.

Any ideas as to what may have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Oh, thanks - I must've only looked at the top post in that thread before deciding it didn't describe my problem. I swear I tried to research my issue first! Had only seen a message on the German board, figured I'd start a new one in English and include what little I'd done to attempt to troubleshoot it on my end.

Will patiently wait until the issue is resolved. Guess you and I both picked a bad time to start playing with things!

Sorry about this issue, I thought I would update the ContentServer yesterday evening, but I was unable to do some because of complications with the new content system. Instead I fixed the missing database table problem, so ProjectDevice entries for the old ContentManager tool can be used correctly again. Keep posting bugs so I am aware of all the issues :)

Yes, samples are able to download content for me now. Seems like the first run of a given sample - where it asks me which Project I want to download content from - complains about not being able to download anything; subsequent runs of the sample seem alright though.

I'm experiencing other bugs elsewhere, will post them to the appropriate forums though.

Thanks,
