whats so complicated about starting an exe file you downloaded??

i think online updates are good for games aso but a serious developer tool? I cant allow gs to do this all alone because i have projects and deadlines and the last thing i could use are automatic updates that change my work in the background.
So this would make it useless for me and i would have to go back to the old "want to update? yes/no" window.

i think its way too much work for a features not really needed or used.

cheers

i'd have the updater to not be automatic, but to be a program that's in the 3dgs folder (update.exe)

then u'd open that file and it would search for updates needed, and you could choose which ones you wanted, like with avg free.

New recommended program update (AVG 7.1.385) is available for download.
All current AVG Free users will be able to download the update automatically through the standard update process. Alternatively you can download this update manually by clicking on "Check for Updates" button in your AVG Free. Considering the amount of data to be downloaded it is possible that the AVG Free Edition update will not be provided by our servers immediately following your request, or that your update request will have to be repeated. Your data security is still guaranteed.

It's such an easy thing to make, conitec just needs to decide if they want one or not.
