I can't update the game. I get this...

An error occurred during installation htfs.Open (initial request): in conn.Connect non-retriable error: in conn.tryConnect, got HTTP non-2XX: api.itch.io: HTTP 400: {"errors":{"invalid upload"|}

200 hours into the game. Would hate to lose all that and have to start completely fresh. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Backup save files first. You can then copy them back if for some reason continuing from where you left the old version fails to work. Discord channel FAQ shows save file location by platform.

Shown error makes me suspect you use Itch App? If so, read FAQ page in wiki, there is explanation for why app does not work.

If that is not it, at what point during updating is that error message showing up?

Certainly looks like an error related to the itch app to me. Try clicking on the links available in the v0.19 Patch Notes post on this page. The mega or mediafire links.

And as Taleman mentioned, back up your save!

Yeah, it is the Itch app. It seems to do things like this every other month. This was just a new one for me.
