Vision client redundancy fails

Ignition
1

I’m testing redundancy and am having trouble with my test vision client application. The master and backup gateway are connected and sync status is good. Force failover works, but my test vision client application cannot connect to the backup. How can I make the client application connect to the backup? Ignition 8.0.5

Here is the console output at start-up. I’m not sure if the one error is significant:

08:36:32.825 [Thread-0] INFO com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayConnectionManager - Skipping local challenge - directory doesn't exist.

And here is the diagnostic window showing the backup connection status:

Interestingly enough I'm having this issue 5 years later. I feel like I've done this before and had to do something to update the clients... But I have started a new vision client and still get the image from this original post.

Looks like we need to re-download the ignition client launchers to effect the vision and designer instances. Perspective picked it up on it's own (which makes sense).
