Out of curiosity, are you planning to start using Slim DX and .Net Framework 4.0? I do see what you mean though, However the folders have setup files not on the products or free games pages, such as PB-games. Hayden

Let's say I switched to SlimDX instead of Managed DirectX for sound and input support. If you grabbed the game from the download folder directly you could easily miss the change in dependencies.Same goes for .NET Framework 4.0. Now, that it is out I might decide to upgrade the game to .NET 4.0. If I did that info would naturally be on the product page, but if you download the file from the download folder you might not know I was now using .NET 4.0 instead of 3.5. Anyway, you get the point. My main concern is that I will make some sort of update, post the info on the product's download page, and people bypass the product page, get the setup file they want, and totally miss the new dependencies, etc. HTH Hayden Presley wrote: > Why's that? > Hayden > --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
