Here is what the update said:
GCG, working with the Asset Forfeiture Unit of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the United States Department of Justice, has completed the review of data provided by Full Tilt Poker ('FTP'). It has been determined that the calculation formula to be used for the Petition for Remission process will be based on players' final balances with FTP as of April 15, 2011 (the 'FTP Account Balances'). The claims process will begin shortly. Once the process begins, GCG will email instructions on how to complete an online claim to all potentially eligible claimants identified by GCG utilizing data supplied by FTP. Account balances from online poker sites other than FTP are not included in this remission process. Petitioners must also meet all other requirements outlined in 28 C.F.R. § 9.8 to be considered eligible for remission.
If you do not receive an email notice and you believe you are eligible to participate in the remission process, you may file a claim online using the directions that will be provided on this website.
If the forfeited funds available for distribution equal or exceed the aggregate FTP Account Balances for all eligible Petitioners, each eligible Petitioner with an approved claim will receive the entirety of his or her FTP Account Balance. If the aggregate FTP Account Balances for all eligible Petitioners exceed the funds available for distribution, payments shall be made to eligible Petitioners on a pro rata basis.
The poker community has long anticipated an update regarding the repayment of players after PokerStars settled with the DOJ and forfeited $547 million to the United States government in August of last year. By doing so, PokerStars acquired Full Tilt Poker's assets (which they relaunched in November) and admitted no wrongdoing in the alleged bank fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and illegal gambling offenses.
PokerNews will be following the FTP repayment saga as details emerge. For more information, visit fulltiltpokerclaims.com.

Full Tilt Poker News Update Today
If you like to play poker online you may be a member of the popular online poker room Full Tilt Poker. Users download a software and register an account to play online for cash or play money.
The Full Tilt Poker application receives regular updates that increase the application's functionality and stability. I have recently created an account at the website and was puzzled when the first 'There is a new version' notification appeared on the screen after starting the application from the Windows start menu.
I was not puzzled because of the update, but because nothing happened. I selected to install the update only to see the application window shut down completely. A restart of the application displayed the update notification again. It simply would not update the program and I was stuck in update loop hell.
I could not play until the software was updated. I then decided to run the application as an administrator, to see if this fixed the issue.
Fix: run as administrator
Windows users can run software with administrative privileges by right-clicking the executable and selecting Run as administrator from the context menu. To run Full Tilt Poker as an admin you need to open the start menu, locate the application there, right-click it and select to run it as an admin.
The update notification appeared again. A click on Ok this time did not close the application without updating the software. The program switched to an installer that copied files on the system.
The update took a few seconds and the poker interface was started after the updating finished on the system.
I'm not sure why it is necessary to run the application with elevated privileges to update it. It may have something to do with file access rights.

I should also note that the problem occurred on a Windows 7 64-bit system. It can be that users of previous Microsoft operating systems do not have problems updating the software. Windows 7 users on the other hand may be able to use the information to resolve updating issues with other applications as well.
Have you encountered a similar issue before? If so, let me know in the comments.
