[QUOTE="Mike Reitmeyer, post: 11679, member: 132"] It shouldn't be, since the assets are a separate download, you may be asked to re-download them. The only real pain is that we have to write the code to handle whether or not the player downloads the newer assets or stays with the old ones. The Title Update itself is just the executable and some menu assets. The executable contains the execution code for each table, but the ROM, Textures, Models, Sound, are part of the table assets. I do find it odd, that we are not allowed to require the user to download a set of assets to play. For example, say we change the HUD assets, since those were in the original game (in one location), we either have to program to allow the user to have old and new (separate download), or put the new HUD assets in EVERY table. Which means they download redundant assets. But you can't say, tell the user if you don't download this update, you can't play these tables (the ones that use those assets). [/QUOTE]
