Ares' KillDriver weapon doesn't work anymore?

I am returning to modding now. I installed Ares 0.8. I am trying to make a sniper weapon that can kill both infantry and vehicle's driver. But KillDriver=yes doesn't work. Other warhead eff, like EMP, or Iron Curtain still work, but not KillDriver=yes

Code:

[HollowPointBox]
Verses=200%,100%,100%,5%,5%,5%,0%,0%,0%,0%,100% ; see note in comments above about 1%
KillDriver=true
AnimList=PIFF
ProneDamage=100%
InfDeath=1
Bullets=yes
KillDriver=true

Code:

[AWPBox]
Damage=125
ROF=150
Range=14
Projectile=InvisibleLow
Speed=100
Report=SniperAttack
Warhead=HollowPointBox
RevealOnFire=no ; Doesn't clear shroud when fired
FireOnce=yes

Still works fine for me in ares 0.8

Ah you have KillDriver twice? Is the warhead in warhead list?

Ah. It seems that my Ares version is 0.1 P1 for some reason, even through I downloaded ares 0.8 zip.

How do I update my Ares?

It doesn't matter if you have KillDriver=yes twice.
The last one is used. The only difference it makes is a bigger file.

It seems that LaunchBase somehow cannot detect Ares version 0.8. Ares Update Options only display Ares 0.1. I keep clicking "Update Syringe & Ares now" but no use. Help.

Don't use LaunchBase.

Either that or force your mod in LB to use custom Ares version - by creating a syringe subfolder with the deemed Ares version and setting UseAres=no in the mod's config file.

I noticed this too... Launchbase was being advertised as a super-awesome UI for organizing your mods and keeping ARES and other plug-ins up to date, but... apparently folks lost motivation to keep it going past version 0.1. Too bad, looked promising! I used it all the time when it was new.

There was only one person maintaining it - who ultimately moved on and became a family man - atleast he got married instead of keeping LB updated.
