Well, I mean, we have to show 2.2.0 - 2.2.3 games to their respective players, and 2.2.4 games to their respective players... > 50MB isn't that big, most driver packages are pretty close to that. Most driver packages aren't updated by redownloading the entire thing every month. In fact, they're rarely updated, unless they're updated automatically. I wouldn't mind requiring latest version if Warzone had differential updates and automatic background updating. > I hope it is quick, since otherwise, I most likely will not be around > until the end of the month.

Meh, I'll try to do it in the next 12 hours. > You make it sound like this is a big deal, but 99% of our user base > upgrades when a new release is out... Okay, I admit to making up numbers as well, but "99%" is a bit ridiculous. I'd estimate it at more like 60%. Maybe less. You know around 50% of the problem reports on the forums are due to players running old versions of Warzone. And many of the people who post problems will probably download the latest version first, further skewing the numbers that way. -Zarel _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
