Just random idea i got to my mind about updates, maybe if inspirate.

Because there are many bugfixes and sorts, and some bugfixes gets delayed because of wait for one big update later, i thought of background downloading. Player could enable option for background downloading and all small bugfixes etc are automatically downloaded without notice while hes playing, then installed when he starts maniaplanet next time.
Maybe message box next time you start that says "these update fixes were installed" or something.

I dont know do you already have this system? I would suspect you maybe have some similar?
But with some evolving with the idea the updates could be very smooth, no waits to download big file before you can play and bugfixes would be more early real time?

Maybe some bandwith limit in the options so it dont create lag?
Or option "continue downloading after you close maniaplanet" so the stuff gets ready next time you start.

Its not necessary for me, its just idea shared out loud, thanks :)

Seems interesting indeed. Sometimes a bug is fixed days after the last update & we need to wait 2Months for the new update/fix.

It's not really a huge issue, but a system like this could speed up things inside the community & I really cant find any "con" for this suggestion.

There's already this kind of system:
https://player.maniaplanet.com/account/optional-updates
but it has never been used (just for the MP3 release).

Could be a great system :thumbsup: but maybe it's a waste of time for Nadeo to do updates regularly.
