how can i save my bot settings in order be the same when new version is installed ,because gets back to default .

[Rade]

Right now you cannot do that. This improvement is planned for future update.

Some of the settings, like favorite individual settings will be saved automatically.

Hi Rade

Is there any impact to not installing the update?

I don't want to unistall and lose my settings

Mine is working fine as it is, but maybe some of the bug fixes will benefit me

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

If you do not need any of the new improvements and if you have not experienced any issues with current bot then you can continue to use existing version.

Latest update fixes issues regarding bets persistence when using Keep persistence on soccer matches and US/AUS horse races.

Hi,
every time i try to unzip the file i get the following error
! C:\Users\iosca\Downloads\bfbotmanager2.zip: CRC failed in Setup.msi. The file is corrupt

this is happening on my third computer now, i have the licence and i can not use it for the last month because of this error.
please fix this asap

Hi dashinu,

Please follow our instructions from following tutorial that explains how to install our software:
http://www.bfbotmanager.com/documents/m ... tarted.pdf

If you continue to have problems then that is because anti virus, firewall or some other software is blocking Bf Bot Manager installation.

No other users have reported this issue with current setup package.

Kind regards,
Rade

hi,

that's what i thought myself so i reinstalled win 7 from scratch, no antivirus and firewall disabled and i get exactly the same error, i also used 3 different computers, no matter what i use to unzip the file.
i googled this error and it seems that the file is corrupted.
i don't know if users have downloaded the new version yet but its very unusual and its very annoying as went to so much trouble and spent so much time with no result.

Hi Dashinu,

I understand that it can be very frustrating but all I can do is give you different download link so that you try again.

Try installing Beta version of V2, here is the link:
http://www.bfbotmanager.com/bfbotmanager2_beta.zip

If it is not related to your operating system then it is something with your network. Maybe you have proxy server or something like that that downloaded and cached corrupted zip file.

Also make sure that you unpack both files to same folder and then to run setup.exe.

Click the link and download now. You will need to remember your CD Key.

[betover43]

[TheGuru12]

Yeah! Most of the settings go back to Default so make note of them. And remember your product key.

[betover43]

Thanks a lot !!!

[TheGuru12]

Do we have an option to save settings, Export settings would be fantastic!

Thanks

[Rade]

Hi TheGuru12,

Multiple Strategies bot has Import/Export options, other bots do not have this functionality.

Hi Rade,

Where are the settings actually saved? Are they stored within some kind of ini file because that would be easy just back it up and replace it every time you upgrade.

Thanks

[Rade]

Hi TheGuru12,

It is not recommended that you change saved settings by editing files, restore them etc.

Each update has its own improvements and adds new settings and sometimes removes old settings. We do not want users to manually change files with settings as it could lead to using wrong settings and misbehavior of program. I hope you understand.

Parts of program that can save settings between updates are already doing this e.g. market monitoring settings, auto load settings, whole multiple strategies bot settings etc.

Regards,
Rade

Yeah I get what you mean. Makes sense I guess. You did say that my liscence key is valid for two installs I will clone my Virtual Server then run it with new settings/version if it doesnt work I will revert it.

Thanks!
