Hi guys,

The RTPatch system is capable of "historic updates", as well. E.g. if you want to release a v1.0/v1.1/v1.2 -> v1.3 update for your game, you can stuff three updates into one package. The RTPatch system will check what version the file on your hard disk is; e.g. v1.0 gets patched to v1.1, then v1.2 and finally v1.3, invisibly to the user. Also, if you already have v1.3, it won't display an error message but say "file is already up-to-date".

BarryB, to avoid problem reports coming from, uhm, "not-so-knowing" users, you might wanna do some similar update package that converges all language versions of the game to the same result. (For that, you will need copies of all original files, of course.) Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not putting extra burdens onto your shoulder as, although I'm not interested in this game, I acknowledge your efforts! Just an idea how to make your package even more useful...!

Joe
