Preorder Question

Post by Siikez » Wed Dec 29, 2010 5:08 am

I'm a newbie to this type of thing, so my question is..
When I preorder, do I have to download every alpha that has been made? or do I get automatically put up to date? And also how big is the game and alpha updates data wise?

As it is now, you have to download and install every single alpha, as there is no such thing as an auto updater yet.

The alpha 106 was a 924,4mb .exe file.

:shock:
wait, this may be incredibly noobish, but does that mean I have to download 106 parts? That can't be right.. Do you mean install every upcoming alpha post preorder?

You only have to download the latest one.

No, what I meant is that you install the latest alpha, but whenever there's a new alpha out, it requires you to download and install the new alpha.
