Full updates

[Simon]

Can we have full complete updates please? Rather than having to download all these incremental ones? I'm trying to play my first game now and am downloading my second patch. Its silly.

I know for a beta having little fixes and such is good but when the full thing comes out can you do it like this?

Update 1.4 to 1.5 5mb
update from 1.0 to 1.5 30000mb

So that people who have 1.4 can get a little patch and people who have installed the game from new dont have to hunt around for 5 different patch files they can just get the one big one and be up to date.

I hope that made sense.

I totally agree on that point, the number of patches i was required to download was kinda ridiculous. One thing that would make it more reasonable other than compiling all the updates into one big one would be to make the updating automated, so then at least i wouldnt have to babysit my pc while it downloaded the patches. It would just download, shut the game down, install, start the game back up and go straight to downloading the next patch.

That seems mandatory. However I think they are aware of that and will add some patch packs so you will be able to download let's say 1.0 to 1.5 and then 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 and 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 or something like this

Yes, we have plans to merge all the updates into one (or two) big update. All in due time :)
