PR-updater not being used?

Post by Ason »

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if it has been explained why the PR-updater isn't used at all ? I thought it was awesome when 1.0 was released and it looks really professional like for a standalone game.
I just don't see why it can't be used more? Is it because every fix made in PR involves multiple individuals and that means it takes alot more time to get fixes ready or is it a decision by the devs to release updates in "big mega packs", or maybe there is some other reason?

I think if it's a decision by the devs to only release big updates it's a very bad idea.
For example the bad splash damage on explosives and rockets, I mean that made me stop playing PR and I think it's important to get stuff fixed especially now when the mod has gotten so much attention everywhere.

It requires certain lead devs in order to push updates threw the updater. And everything needs to be tested first be the test team as well. And quite a few had to take some time to focus on real life. And some still are. Just hang in there ;) updates will come.

Staying on the topic of the updater, quick question: Is it possible to have it so when you exit PR, you return to the updater screen? The way it is setup now is if you exit PR, it completely exits everything including the updater screen. I figure it would make it easier for people trying to troubleshoot video, audio, or mumble issues in the updater's options screen if they didn't have to restart PR each time they exited the actual game.

And now, we wait.....

None of the Dev team do this for money, and your comment is a little insulting and selfish tbh.
