Game updates and DLC updates #71

Open mspykerez opened 3 years ago

mspykerez commented 3 years ago

I have this issue where SLM is detecting new versions for some of the DLC files that I currently have.

My doubts on this matter is that I think DLCs can also be updated by a regular update of the base game meaning that the new version of the DLC can actually be somewhere inside of the regular game update file, hell some DLC files are even just a small size ‘unlocker’ file that is supposed to be used along a regular game update so it can unlock the DLC content that is present in it (granted that there are some DLCs that do not get updated to their new version by installing a regular game update file alone and we need to procure the new DLC version file to install separately).

Now question is when we have a regular game update file detected by SLM can it also know if said file also updates the DLC to it’s latest version (assuming the corresponding game has a DLC with different versions while we have an outdated DLC version file of it) and thus ignore reporting that we are missing a new version of the DLC if it is indeed the case that the DLC gets updated to it's latest version by installing the regular game update file that we have?

btw I think it's better if new DLC versions get listed under the DLC tab instead of the UPDATES tab. Since new DLC versions do not update the base game it would be less confusing to have all DLC related stuff under the DLC tab which would include DLC updates. Alternative you could just rename the current UPDATES tab to GAME UPDATES and introduce a new tab for DLC UPDATES.
