Why does it even matter to have to re-install after a verified cache? Plenty of people do it with armstrong powerhouse addons. Its not like your verifying cache every single day or weekly or if you are then there is honestly something seriously wrong with either the computer your using, installation in general or a bad internet connection which cannot pull the content off the steam servers without corrupting the files.BobLatimer wrote:Let me get this straight.
I bought the original 4MT on Steam. I'm quite keen to buy the new improved version, especially at the introductory price.
If I do, I have to buy it directly from DT and it will then overwrite the original version. So far so good.
However, next time I verify the files, Steam will overwrite the new version with the old one and I'll have to re-install the new one. You've got to be kidding!
Surely the solution would be to have the old and new versions as different locos. That way I would end up with two versions of the same loco but at least I wouldn't have to keep reinstalling the new one.
Bob.
Plus the solution as you put it, creating two locomotives in turn does not ensure backward compatibility and in turn would require scenario adjustments and other 4MT related modifications to be updated creating more hassle than simply ensuring it the new version is the same file structure which wouldn't cause any issues.
Nore do I see what is so hard over clicking the mouse a few times and letting the package manager install the .rwp or that is to slow to actually unzip the .rwp and move the files quicker
I hope in general my information is helpful towards folks when I've posted for this and various other DLC and gives people the information nessessary to make a informed decision when it comes down to purchasing or not, DT certainly doesn't lack information on their product pages and I certainly wouldn't accuse them or any other DLC makers of such, but I think its easily beneficial to have a rundown from someone who has purchased outside of the creators.
