I think i might know the answer to that. I think it was in the faq section that they said you would just download an updater for it, then update it from that.  Check in the faq.
Yea it says \"TO play the game you will need to download a client for your OS (Windows, Linux, etcc...). This client will be for the first demo only about 30-40 Mb. It will increase in size in later releases, but we will provide an auto-update program that will downlaod necessary software when you start the game.\"

We will have an auto updater at some point, but nobody is promising when that will be. :-)

I would guess we will have 2 or 3 more releases after this one before we start working on auto-updating.

Of course, if someone would like to join the coding team and work on this task, it could be done much sooner...

if i spend a night downloading a 50mb client, at the next update will we have to totally redownload the client or just the update? like a bug that took 100kb to fix, wpi;d we dpwm;pad tje (hehe) (would we download the) 50.01mb client or the 100kb fix?

probly be just small patches that updates the game...  wounld be a a pain i nthe ass to download it over and over... even with a Cable modem, it get anoying. So I\'d asay patches whould be more like a reasonable Idea.

erhm.. what did he say?

[el_salvador]

well he said

I would guess that we will split the patches up a little bit, so you are d/ling 20MB instead of 50MB or something, but to get down to 100KB patches is going to require the auto-updater.

Well, I hope we won\'t have to wait too long for it then.
This could get annoying.
