A fatal error has occurred. (M1)

Mar 19, 2011 raybondo link
There's a bug with the previous Android Market version of the game where it tries to direct you to the Android Market for an update but instead gives the error "A fatal error has occurred. (M1)" and then exits, preventing the game from being played.

To remedy this problem, you will need to manually go to the market and update Vendetta Online.

I was trying to test it on my nook and got stuck. I know it's an unsupported device, but it would be nice to have another official method of obtaining the client other than the google marketplace.
I found the apk for 1.8.178 here: (admin removed, see better URL below in next post)
It installed fine, when I ran it the first time it downloaded the update to x.179, but when it tries to run it attempts to verify the files:
"version is current; verifying files"
...followed by deciding to download the update again. :|
So I guess not for now as it keeps looping. Is there any way we can directly download up to date APK files for VO so we can do some beta testing? I know I won't get a finished product, I'd be happy if it even ran at all, the information provided by testing users could be useful to future releases.

There are two APKs for the game. One is distributed via the Android Market, and should be updated through it. If you can get this APK (on the Market), it is recommended.

The other is the "sideload" APK, which is for devices that do not have official Market support (certain Froyo tablets, etc), or can not yet "see" the Market version (phones, devices based on chips we do not yet support, etc). The most up-to-date sideload version can always be found.. here.

We DO NOT recommend using any other APKs than the one we provide through the Market, or the one we provide from our website. Other APKs from random sites could have spyware or other modifications made to them (it has happened to other games), or simply be old and incompatible versions that don't update properly. There is no reason to use an APK from anywhere other than us.. we cover all cases (Market and Sideload) and we always provide the latest version with the broadest compatibility.
