The updater can be disabled in the options. It was never mandatory.

Is there really no way to make 1.44.4 saves work? I sunk a lot of time already and don't want to start over.

So long waiting for an update to the strip show, only to find that they've changed the original text for worsened text, did not include anything new and made the whole event tasteless and out of character. Gives you the perfect understanding of why Akabur is so great. His game was fun, it captured the spirit of the characters well. What a lame thing. Just killed the game for good for me now.
It's pretty amusing that you mention that, 'cause we haven't made any changes in the latest update to that event outside of fixing bugs.

i know, just it is toggled On by default on a fresh install.
thus, i have to disable my interwebs on first run, and have to live with warnings popping up about the .exe trying to break out of the box.. or have to dig up the scripts and search for that toggle before first run. ok it's a mere nuisance, but still, worth asking. can we have the default be auto updates Off by any chance?
i do wipe the whole game including saves, persistent etc. for each update that contains content change / bugfixes, because i prefer the 'clean slate' approach. it basically avoids the random snafu with possible leftovers, and ain't too much work.
p.s. i know i know.. the very moment the updater is not On, people will QQ about it not working. they won't check the settings.

Always amazed at how angry people can be over something that is given to them for free

Never underestimate the depths of complacency, stupidity or narcissism that people can reach. That's how we're great as a species - no limits.

f1forhalp is right actually, never can be too sure that there's no anything shady.

We openly distribute the source code. You are always free to build the game directly from source code without using an updater.

Ever list anything on Craigslist that you’re giving away for free because you just want it gone? There’s always a couple people who message you to ask if you’ll deliver, if you’re a smoker, if it’s damaged, etc, then get indignant because it’s not in a condition to their standards. And you’re just thinking “bro, it’s free. I can’t knock off $10 because you’re a narcissist who got too spoiled by Amazon. Take it or get lost.”
It’s kinda like that.

o geez. it's not about this game here being shady, or the likes. it's about the auto updater, which of course can be toggled Off, once the game has started. what i simply dislike, is the auto updater being default On before i can toggle it off. i see it as a nuisance, not more not less. that doesn't even have much to do with the game code. it could even be implemented as boolean, during first launch, like "do you want the auto updater to run? Y/N" but that would mean -someone- would have to spend time on that one toggle, which likely would mean not just a single line of code.. dependencies and all that. i'm not much aware of the latest Ren'Py and how picky the core is when it comes to stop-and-wait-decision intercepts during launch. so, i brought it up here.

Actually, this has already been fixed. Try updating the game.
