Title: Must the download size so large?
Post by: kodosapiens on March 20, 2010, 11:23:28 am

Hi. I live in a country where internet is... rather... slow and... expensive. 600 MB download is large. Is there any way so that people can download the game by parts, like systems only, textures only, or differences (2.2.1 to 2.3) only? Or is 2.3 so different from 2.2.1 that no old parts are usable? The largest file in the version I have is the music. I don't mind playing in half the resolution and detail, and without music and loading background images. If this can cut the size down by half, I'd be thankful.

In that case I'd recommend making yourself familiar with compiling the game by youself.
The 1st download is of course also very large, but afterwards you'll download only small diffs!

Muton makes (unofficial) builds of 2.3 that are a little smaller, don't know if that helps...
