Edit2: The previous patch will NOT work with version 2.00 of the game, many files changes and it already has an update to 2.01. Because of this, I removed it from the post.
The update system points to a git exclusively for this game files so its possible to assume its safe. But if you still don't like a game connecting to the internet without proper authorization, you can still disable the AutoUpdater plugin doing the following procedure:
Navigate to www\js folder and open the file plugins.js with notepad or equivalent.
Search for the following strings:
Code:
"SRD_AutoUpdater","status":true
"SRD_AutoUpdaterFIX","status":true
Change the status to false and save the file. (this will also disable the version number in the main menu)
Version 1.00 used one master file to update and version 2.00 uses another master file, they are not interchangeable.
As I said before, automatic updates are not bad but they should be optional and only access the internet at user request.
Original post:
Accessing internet without authorization, this is a HUGE NO NO for me. I have disabled the plugins so the game wont download anything.
Extract to game folder an replace when asked.
Edit: No one asked but here is the full update 1.00 to 1.04 with plugins.js patched to disable AutoUpdates.
Automatic updates are not bad but, for me at least, is a cause of concern because we don't know that is being done in the background. Adding an update button letting the user decide to update or not would be very nice. These may be difficult but If possible add a changelog interface and show what files are being downloaded also from where.
