It's still an horrible idea.

A patch is a few kb. And you don't need to enter a captcha.

Our patching system is creating diff files, so unless you redownload the whole thing, a normal patch is a few kb.

Saving some bandwidth...

2013-10-06T19:15:22+02:00

While looking through the FAF gamedata folder I noticed the faforever.nxt file is 60+ MB. That got me wondering why it's so large. After a quick look it wasn't hard to figure out that the new unit textures from the engy redesign (factory HQs) are the main reason for the large file size.

Since those textures aren't changedvery much, would it make sense to move those new textures and/or units off into their own file (i.e. fafunits.nxt or the like). If that is done, the faforever.nxt file drops from 60+ MB to ~3 MB. Patch downloads would be quicker and we'd save a lot of bandwidth (if that's a concern).

Anyway, just a thought.
