Well the launcher itself works but DAHUM does it take a LONG time to check, download, check, update, check, update, triplecheck , fix. I had to wait for about 30-45 mins to finally have the sisi build up to date and be able to log on. And it wasn't that old of a build to begin with. Apparantly it actually goes over the entire directory to check for updatables but it also does a 100% check of each component. Instead it would be much quicker to do a precheck on the first bytes of the build so it knows it has to update or look further. ___________

That's kind of the idea. The updater has to go through every file, otherwise you would end up with out of date art and audio assets. The tool is designed to handle any permutation of source files, and that flexibility comes at the cost of time.
I understand that much, but wouldn't it just be quicker to have the launcher do;
Version x.x.x. Check for patch different from x.x.x. Patch x.xx.x found, download and apply. EvE SiSi startup.
Or have it indeed check the first few bytes of a file for a footprint. If that footprint is different from what it now should be the file updates. If it's the same the file gets skipped. I'd think you'd save 50% of the time needed to update.
If i'm wrong just kick me against the shins and tell me to shut up ___________

Well i downloaded the new version through the autotool and it updated just fine. I had to restart the sisi launcher though since it went into a check loop after the update each time i clicked Play on singularity. Only a small issue which should be easily fixed i guess
