Could I suggest a feature? That is a flag such as --verifyall so that the updater can download missing critical files? I just tried an update that broke the updater and the zip I found on the server couldn\'t save it - it\'s still broke.
Would it be possible in the near future to have the updater as a standalone executable that does not depend on other libraries? My opinion is that something along the lines of the Valve Steam updater executable (just 1 file) is actually a good thing.
It\'s reasonable for the game to require many libraries during startup but for an updater to depend on libraries that could end up breaking the updater itself is a little queer. A suggestion would be that the updater should keep a backup of itself just in case the newly downloaded updater fails to work.
Seeing that this updater problem has happened to others as well, could this be a design issue since I\'ve not seen updaters break themselves before? If it can\'t be done then could the updater be released as a separate download on the main website once CB is released? ?(
