Tell us which way you usually apply a new patch.

We are considering eliminating further use of the AutoUpdater, as there are some "high overhead for developers" issues maintaining it. :blink:


If you currently use it, will you be OK to use the 'traditional' download/extract/patch method?

Thank you for your patience and support.... :)

...and a huge thank you for playing WIA!!! :thumbsup:

Hi!
I usually download the patches manually ;)
But playing the devil's advocate... ;)
I guess many autoupdater users are the kind of players that don't visit the forums much (or even never), so they won't participate on the poll :bonk:

The auto updater is nice for these more "casual" players, but if its taking Pocus to much of his "make new games" time there is no doubt IMHO: down with it :wacko:
Cheers!

I was going to say exactly the same... if you use the autoupdater, it is VERY probable that it is because you just do not care about visiting the official forum and/or website. :thumbsup:
