as the stream will be on for Today, here are questions for Mike:

DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT (DLC):
Is the target solution we should use to update a game?
Let’s say you are finding bugs in your game, you need to fix the library and some content, is the future way to update it?
Or should we still work out another tool to manage the updates?

I mean looking at the Launcher, it seems that I always download the “full” launcher and not doing incremental updates. Is there something planned for ?
Any plan for some best practices writing around topic so we know how we should cook, package and make an updater?

DEMOREC
I saw there have been some improvment on in 4.7.
In fact, when I rebuild my build my game my demorec rec file used to be corrupted due to changes in some GUID classes like PlayerState (for reference). Can we have some best practices on how to not break the demo file?
is clearly a useful that I like to use a lot to review testing session, character workflow … but the 4.6 wasn’t enough robust to be able to work like .

[HR][/HR]Ben honest, we all know who really saved the stream today :wink:

20

Will you update content examples and other projects to try it the new 4.7 features? Also where did the coming soon section in marketplace in the new launcher go?

Maybe we will have the youtube movie today ?
