Re: [Help]Question About RYL2 v2240 Launcher
I think checking only a "version" file is useless, coz everyone can change this file to the "newest" and continues with the older files, so autopatch will not run.
Hoewever, I'll try check the integrity of every important file.
Re: [Help]Question About RYL2 v2240 Launcher
what would the player gain by changing the version to the newest one?
It would cause a lot of server bugs and lack of necessary files, is like trying to use a MS Office 2010 with the MS Office 1997 files and Office 2010 main executable file.
Only the most dumb players would change the version like that, and to solve that out it can be done an encryption algorythm and crypt a .dat file like is used on the RYL Launcher atm, this way theres no way to change version, or even making a MD5 encryption/decryption on the version line, this way it would be harder to edit the file version. But as I said, would be unecessary...
What are the gains of having the game using an "incomplete patch"?
Not mentioning the checksum errors that could probably occurr on ryl itself.

After the Updater finish it job, it just open the Launcher again...
Its a pretty simple process. Theres no need to check for RYL files integrity(it could be done, but unecessary) if theres a patch, the launcher shall update it, no matter what...
--EDIT
