Steam RoF Development Tracking

[lerxst2112]

There's another emergency patch tomorrow. If it changes the exe we can see if that shows up immediately as well.

This is a bit depressing :P

I am not really sure what to do about this. At this point, we might as well be chasing Live if they keep this up, which is a headache for multiple reasons. Hopefully we can come up with a good solution for this. The best way may be to see if we can simplify the update process as much as possible. Otherwise, we will have to consider what alternatives there are or if it is even worth working on new clients. I still think it is worthwhile to get the RoF client completed, but we will need to figure out what to do about these update issues first.

Do you think it would be best for people to grab the RoF FTP client while they still can?

It's been posted for a month for people to grab ROF client from steam on various sites.

imho, don't waste your time trying to keep up with every patch
stop at that last version for RoF that already working, and wait till they put up next expansion. That would be logical imho.

Just they want an easy to obtain client. That is also legal to obtain.

Precisely, otherwise, how would people be able to get said client to play? They couldn't.
