i tried to update my ac explorer about 2 months ago and it wiped out everything in it so i reinstalled from the exe file and tried another update and same thing wiped clean just a blank map

anyone know if this was a bug or if it was intended to force ya to buy the updated version?

if its just a matter of putting a new link in anyone have it?

Click instructions on the left side and then select AC Explorer (Free version, 2.2c) Updated 9-18-2003 and follow the instructions

My AC Explorer has an update link on the main menu bar. I'm not sure when you mentioned blank if you meant the menu bars were blanked out too.

i mean all locations and objects are removed from the map even the towns when i use the link ive been useing for a year or so now
so i thought maybe there was a new link to use like what happened with the program 2 years ago or so

ATTENTION : if you (re)install ACExplorer, the display of towns, portals,... is switched OFF by default. You have to turn them on in the "Show" menu...

You say that you have used the database URL for a year or so ?
It definitely did change some weeks ago (noticeable by the .aspx extension).

Dependent on your version of ACExplorer the way to change the URL settings is different. Consult the website http://www.acspedia.com as Naus suggested....

btw, delete the old URL from the ACExplorer settings, it does not do that automatically
