C3 from desktop starts with the old version

Dear all,

when I start C3 from the desktop, it shows the version "R476.3 stable".

Sadly, this version does not allow me to load my project, and shows an error message stating that it was saved with a new version ( the 483 beta ).

In the error message there is a clickable link to the version R483.

By clicking on that link, a new instance of C3 starts, with the version R483 beta. With this version, I can open my projects.

The problem is, I have to repeat this process every time I run C3.

The question: how can I have on the desktop the newest version of C3, so that I don't have to repeat that process again ?

I've posted a video showing the issue on the official discord channel:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Sergio

If you install Construct from a stable release, the installed app will always load the latest stable release. If you install Construct from a beta release, the installed app will always load the latest beta release. It sounds like you actually want to use the latest beta release, but installed the app from a stable release. So you should uninstall the desktop app, load the latest beta release, and then install the app from there.

This has worked like a charm, many thanks Ashley, appreciated !
