Best way to update experimental build?

Azetepii · 2015-01-01T23:32:18.000Z

I’ve been in love with this game as of late, and this addiction has only gotten worse (better?) with the experimental builds. Updating is a bit of a strain, though, since I’ve just been deleting the folder and downloading the newest addition the next day. I was wondering: is there a way for the game to automatically update with each new build? Is this currently possible through Github or some other means?

Personaly, i just DL the new windows tile, extract in my cataclysm folder and it s done… I overwrite the files then all is update. I never had problem in this way.

Please tell me you’re saving the save folder.

I do the same thing.

Yeah, we have had bad experimentals. Last week was a prime example, unfortunately. Sometimes downloads don’t quite get through clean either.

Best to keep a known-good DDA folder and copy over your config and save folders to the latest download.

And welcome to the forums.
