Hi,

I recently started getting the error "failed to download update manifest for product id=X. Something has blocked the manifest, Minion will not work properly." I have use the bot for awhile and never had this issue. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still get this issue. Know the bot won't update to work for the new final fantasy patch. any help would be appreciated.

here is the message in the log after launching MinionApp and failing to update:

I have the exact same issue. I get this spam for several updates and the bot is no longer working after the last patch.

Everyone in the discord says that they have no problem updating the bot and playing. I cannot play. When I try to load the bot it tells me to update the bot and crashes out the client. This is my first update since becoming a user.

Same for me.  This is likely the first I have updated/played in a month so the time is about the same.  I have disabled Windows Defender and get the same response.  If I do get through and try to attach the bot it says "Unable to connect to authentication server, check your internet connection".
I am also having this issue. Has there been any fixes yet?

don't know if any of you are using Comcast Xfinity but I had the same problem until I switched off xFi Advanced Security. Once I did this it downloaded and updated just fine.
I don't think so still doing same thing as listed above

This was my issue, my Comcast/Xfinity modem's security features was blocking the update server for the bot. I was able to work around it by using a vpn (ExpressVPN in my case) to successfully update the bot.
