Lords & Knights Version 2.0 – Download Issues

An update on the Version 2.0 download issues that many of us are experiencing – XRALITY have posted and said do not download:

*** The App Store is currently experiencing technical difficulties. It is possible, that the downloaded Apps or Updates will not work. Therefore, at least for now, please do NOT update to version 2.0. ***

If you do have the issue, the advice seems to be to keep trying to download until you hit an App Store server that does not have the corrupted binary files.

If you have not yet downloaded, then heed the advice and keep on the older version.

I know it is not XRALITY’s fault, so come on Apple! Sort it out!!

Lords & Knights Version 2.0 – A Warning!

So, as suggested, the new version of Lords & Knights for the iPhone and iPad is available and is marked as Version 2.0.  However, it does not seem to have been announced on the Lords & Knights website or their Facebook page.

Features include:

  • Game Center integration
  • Sound effects and music
  • Simultaneous unit recruitment (if more than 10 castles)
  • Simultaneous missions (if more than 8 castles)
  • Simultaneous resource exchange (if more than 5 castles)
  • Share spy and battle reports
  • Mark individual castles in violet
  • Unsubscribe from a game server
  • Settings synchronised with iCloud
  • Alliance wings are given separate diplomacy status of ‘Vassal’ (orange on map)

However, I am having a nightmare getting it to work.  It does not launch when updated from my iPhone.  And when I try to download it via iTunes, I get an iTunes error 8324 – which seems a popular error from iTunes at the moment according to this post.  There is also this post, which seems to be the issue that I am facing, though I also note that many people are downloading with no problems.

Maybe this iTunes / App Store error is why XRALITY are not promoting the new version of the game yet.

So, for the moment, I cannot play Lords & Knights on my iPhone! Grrr!!

I suggest you hold off updating until Apple sort out their iTunes / App Store problems.
