[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 84743, member: 3"] That's correct. As Mike said back on page 1 of this thread, there is no executable code in the DLC files. He also told us a long time ago that all the code that controls the playfield toys and such is added to the core game files via the updates. So that stuff can be patched since it's not stored in the DLC files. Personally I think Farsight should patch all the DLC content into the core game updates so that everything including the art/graphics can be updated too. The DLC files would simply be small authorization files that unlock the content. Gord had the idea and we suggested it to them, but they said that management was opposed to that from the start due to the larger file size for the patches. In this day in age, I really don't think people are bothered by large downloads since a ton of games have patches that are several GB in size. I think we all would agree that the extra download time is worth it in order to have a better game that can actually be patched properly. [/QUOTE]
