Installer for 3.2.2

Post by Keats » Wed Mar 27, 2019 11:14 am

I'd quite like to know why I can't just install 3.2.2 directly. It seems quite bizarre that would-be users have to run the installer three times(first to install 3.2, then to patch it to 3.2.1 and finally patch it to 3.2.2)... it isn't like there's any reason why someone would want to install 3.2 and then not update it, right?

Incremental updates are being done for minor versions so people with older machines don't have to wait upwards of 12 hours for it to finish every time.

This is also nothing new with retail game patchers, they were also incremental.

Is there anything that's stopping you from offering both an incremental patch (for people who have already installed TTW) and a fully patched version(for people who are just now installing it)? Obviously it would be some extra work, but not THAT much(I hope).
