If something doesn't work after updating to newer version, it's most likely cache issue. You can wipe cache manually by going into app installation directory. Most likely C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Aniki. Delete folders tokens, cache and ImageCache. Note that cache and ImageCache are wiped automatically after every update.
