Eco Launcher #7576

Closed thereporter42 closed 6 years ago

thereporter42 commented 6 years ago

Version: 0.7.3.3 beta

Steps to Reproduce:

Just launch the game

Expected behavior:

I would expect that a game like this would have some kind of launcher and a better way to be able to roll out new updates rather then having to go to the website every time and download the whole new version.

Actual behavior:

There is no launcher and you have to go and download all the updates from the website.

Are you currently working on a launcher or some kind of a better way to be able to roll out new patches? Right now there really isn't any kind of a launcher you just start the game and it goes right into the game without checking for any new updates or anything like that.

A lot of people like myself also do not use steam and have downloaded this game directly from the Strange Loops Games website.

I figured that would be one of the first things a development team would do is develop at least some kind of a basic launcher to be able to send out updates / patches.

It would really make things a lot better. Is this being worked on? Is there a launcher coming? I hope there is because it would make it a lot better for pushing out new patches instead of having to go to the website every time and download the whole thing about every week or two.

Can any of the developers answer this?

Launcher? Oh, no please. Maybe ingame notification, but no launcher.

I would rather have a launcher to be able to push out new updates it makes it really a lot easier to update the game than having to go download the new version from the servers every time they push out a new patch. I don't think that this should be a "suggestion" either this really should be a requirement. Any game that is a major game out there has some kind of launcher.

any kind of a reputable game company is going to do build some kind of launcher as one of their first steps.. well except it seems Strange Loop Games.

No one even answered my question about the launcher and if there is one being developed for this game currently. They just set flags on the ticket and that was it.

Eff0rd please keep out of my tickets I never asked for your opinion.
