That got it working. Thanks so much!

seriously, how? mine gets stuck at 'downloading updates' just like other users who have recently posted the same error

Same, mine is still getting stuck on "downloading updates"
Will give it another try of deleting all valorsuite files and downloading fresh to see if that'll do it.

Also stuck on the downloading updates tab. New for me. Started yesterday afternoon/evening.

Same here. I even tried deleting all files, including any saved files (this worked last time) but still sticks on updating.
Wasn't holding the shift key, hands completely off the keyboard.  Started late afternoon yesterday for me, around 4:30pm CST. It worked just fine at noon when I did dailies and let it start training

Anyone have any luck getting it to work yet that was experiencing this?

Trudy slot machine will be included with the next update as a passive daily that does not show up in the user interface.

 

Edit: Released.

Sweet!  Thanks for the work you put in on this.

Brand new Realtor here. Having fun with it.
In spare time I play WoW, and occasionally ESO.
