To fix things without updating, please do this:

If Opus 13.16 or above is already installed (i.e. people reading this in the future), you can skip the rest of the steps and launch Opus again. Otherwise, continue:

  • Edit C:\ProgramData\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\Global Data\globaldata.omd in a text editor (e.g. Notepad).

  • Find the place on the line which says:
    update_new_low="xyz" update_new_high="xyz"
    Zero the two numbers:
    update_new_low="0" update_new_high="0"

  • Do the same where it says:
    update_download_low="xyz" update_download_high="xyz"
    Changing both numbers to 0:
    update_download_low="0" update_download_high="0"

  • Save the change and launch Opus again.

Optionally, you can also go to your %temp% folder and delete the Directory Opus Updates directory under it to free up a bit of space.

We've also made some changes for the next version (13.15.2 beta / 13.16 stable) that will do all of that automatically on startup, if the update checker is turned off, so people on newer versions shouldn't have to do this manually. But that only helps when already running the new code, of course.
