Update 1.0.64 has been uploaded to Steam. Steam will update the game automatically.

The update has also been made available to Vault users. This update installer can also be used by GOG users. It should never ever be used by Steam users.

This update introduces an autopatcher which will make it so that GOG users and Vault users will be notified of future updates.

This auto-update is an optional step and can be skipped.

You will still be able to start up without being online. You will be able to skip the update.

If you don't want the automatic check, just start the game with DragonCommander.exe instead of DCApp.exe

FYI, the autopatcher simply checks an XML online and if the version number of the DragonCommander.exe is lower than the one of the patch, it will offer to download the patch installer. You can then answer yes or no. Answering yes will download the patch installer and start it up.

There is nothing else that happens than checking an XML and downloading an exe.
