It has come to my attention that there is a new Installer app to be used to give your PCs access to ai sp@ce.
This installer is HUGE--3.8 gigs to be precise--compared to the old one. I know because damn Firefox showed me.
So, what is so new about it? To be fair, I used it myself to test it, but the new stuff was previously in the Updater. Essentially, the stuff that is needed on the client's end is no longer downloaded by the ai sp@ce Updater, "aisp@ceLauncher.EXE". Users who installed using the old installer may have to reinstall ai sp@ce to continue using it.
Why 3.8 gigs? Why put the previously-downloaded client-side stuff into the Installer? I guess the change was to appease people who hated the growing pains from the First-Run Patch. Seems that should really trim the time, and can see fewer rerunning of the setup files. We all win! Watch out, Lapis, you little bitch!
Game is 5.49 gig on my HD, then this 3.8 installer sounds ok.
ReplyDeleteThat's a small difference in size between game data and Installer size, I see...
