Hi all.

I would like to start off this by saying that i support renguard and the job that it does, as well as all the people that helped to create it.

My concern is, is that How many updates are there going to be? I mean in the last few days my renguard client has updated at least 4-5 times. Everything from new game.exe, to even downloading, what i now find out, game2.exe, which wasnt even nesscary in the first place.

I'm bearing with the new renguard, as i helped in the Public Beta, but i just hope i can play renegade, not just sit and watch renguard sit and update every time i go to play renegade.

I understand that there may still be problems, and bugs, but try to fix everything before you send out yet another update. A lot of people, including myself, dont think that 1.0321 or whatever version number it's at now shouldnt have been released due to all the sudden hidden problems now coming to light after its general release.

As I said before, I support BHS and all the work that they have done, but i just dont like sitting looking at a blank screen while it tries to update.

I have been able to update renguard finally with no problems to version 1.0322 which seems to be the most stable, current version.

I hope someone can tell me if there are going to be any more updates, because it's a pain in the ass to keep installing them. And a general rule of thumb is, is that when something is a pain in the ass to do, then dont do it. If you keep making renguard hard to update or install, then you have a problem, because players are going to say "The hell with this" and just play without it.

Thanks a lot for your time if you read all of that, but i sincerly hope that 1.0322 is the last update for a while.

Thanks and regards,

Are you on a 300 baud modem link or something? The updates to Renguard itself are less than half a megabyte. That's less than the combined HTML of this page you are viewing. As far as "pain to install", it downloads itself, and installs itself, so the only pain is having it restart which takes .5 seconds.

Updates that we roll out are absolutely required to upgrade the client or fix bugs. We certainly do not like having to do multiple updates, but sometimes fixing one thing breaks something else that wasn't revealed in testing.
