Launcher shenanigans

[Creat]

Yea I understand it's not a huge problem at the moment, and that it's still early in development and certainly not a big deal at this point (even having a launcher already is quite luxurious and makes updating much easier for everyone, even when it's just in appdata). I just hope that it eventually will move to program files, or at least support it. I also didn't mean to write that much text, it was just there after a while

My chrome is installed in Program Files, according to that superuser-link that is also the default and it will only fall back to appdata if the user says 'no' to UAC, when he doesn't even have the option of saying yes (no admin account) or it's installing an update and was already installed there. They kinda have to use every opportunity to get installed to grab that marketshare though

In the long run I hope program files (or any other place, but installed and using appdata for storage) will be the default, or at least an option. Allowing to be run from a single folder (without installing) could still be quite easily allowed by checking for a .noinstall file or any number of similar measures (like simply running locally when the "Save" and "Mods" folders are there, checking if the privileges work and just asking for UAC elevation if necessary). The unity log will be automatically redirected to the virtual store btw., that's what it's there for (and that's probably fine for a log file).

But as I said, just wanted to bring this to your attention. It's anything but a pressing issue, I'm happy with the fact that you know about it. All I wanted to achieve here 
Same with the launcher popups btw, seriously not a problem and (probably) even only occurs when there's a launcher update AND the install is corrupt...

Aaaaand it's completely stuck this time: Launcher tells me there's a new version (0.8.4c, installed is 0.8.3). I click update and it downloads a patch (of about 50 MB). It tries to patch for a while, but fails (Invalid checksum after decoding window). I can only click repair, which quickly finishes and he's satisfied that my 0.8.3 is fine again. Now I can again click either play or update (as in the beginning), update doesn't re-download of course, but this loops on forever. Log is attached!

Edit: I've just deleted the installed version to get a fresh start this time, maybe it won't break this time around

Thanks for reporting! Currently we're rewriting patching method to make it 100% reliable. Coming soon!

Any ideas?

kyokei, thanks for reporting. This was bug with website RSS feed - recently we're updated it to fix another issue http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=195.0 (http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=195.0), but it created a problem with GameLauncher RSS parser which we didn't anticipate.
Updated version of GameLauncher is uploaded now, it will auto-update the next time you launch it.
