update question

1time · 07 August 2010, 11:00

Hello.

When a update is released for a game that I already have installed on my computer.
Is there an easy way to replace for example the .Slave file or do I need to reinstall the game entirely with the new version?

In other words, how do I update an existing installation?

Normally replacing the .slave file should be fine. That said, it's of course not guaranteed that there won't be any problems, so to be on the safe side, you should install it again.

Normally it is stated in the installer readme if the game needs to be re-installed.
