Hi everyone
I'm experiencing the same issue : a menu flashes for about one second asking for an update.
It can happen while I'm on the start screen or while I'm playing (arrrrrgh !).
When it happens on the start screen, I've noticed that sometimes the background disappears, sometimes the screen is darkened as if the gamma was set very low. When it happens in the game, I've noticed that the game was still running (making me lose the level...). Sometimes, after the update menu has gone away, the zoom is considerably focused on my "bubble" (my bubble covers all the screen).
As jeffplum says, the update menu does not respond to keyboard nor mouse input.
I first play at the demo, it seems that the problem occurs when I've finished the demo levels.
I bought the full version on Steam but the problems is still there.
I tried to modify the config.cfg in my profile, setting the promptAllowUpdatesOnStartup to "0". No effect (the problem appears immediately).
I tried to rename my config.cfg (instead of delete it) et change the promptAllowUpdatesOnStartup in the config.cfg located in the steam directory. No effect.
I tried the Jeffplum's workaround (disable the Steam friend notifying), I could play for almost twenty minutes without any popup but... it finally happened...
Between each test, I closed Osmos AND Steam.
