Decided to rewrite this.
I love the game however the current patch system for 0.51 to 0.52 stinks.
First there is no hint of which directory exactly to point it to. Apparently it needs to be pointed to one directory down.
However when you do that it extracts the files into a temp directory on a drive I don't want games messing with to start with which is why I don't have them on that drive.
Then the checksum system is so bad it triggers the malware system into repeatedly checking it eventually it just ends up stuck at 0 cpu usage and no longer does shit.
It would have been vastly better to simply. put the files in a directory structure and zip them. Then they could be simply extracted into that directory and it would install them. If the user is so stupid they install the wrong update that's on them.
Either way the update system doesn't need to be this anal. Hell it isn't this anal on most AAA titles. seriously
