There is an important difference. When we were updating from 4.84 to 4.85, Disco didn't have an autoupdater.

Still, I don't know if there will be an option of using the autoupdater this time. There will certainly be a separate downloadable file for FLMM.

I may be wrong but I think there will be an autoupdater with 4.86, think it's been mentioned elsewhere on the forums.

The file size for individual mod versions is too large for the autoupdater tool to be effective. A .flmod file is much easier for a server to install, too. Subversions (eg. 4.85.1, 4.85.2, 4.85.3) are much smaller addons or changes which can be easily distributed by the autoupdater. So, yes, the autoupdater will be packaged in 4.86 (planned for 4.86.1 and future addons) but won't be used to distribute 4.86 itself.

So any word on updated enbseries as well? or is that a bit too much? I use one (v. 0.74b I think) with a nice balanced brightness/contrast, but it does have some problems with strange squares popping up around asteroids and things like that (but still beats the standard one). It would be nice if the graphics could get a little boost too...

When Freeworlds: Tides of War is released, they have an update which allows Freelancer to utilise DirectX 9, and they're going to make that update publicly available... it would make a lot of sense if the Disco Devs got that and packaged it with 4.86.1 / 4.86.2. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I've heard no mention of the enbdseries stuff.

... till we get an announcement like:

"We're sorry but we had to set another date for the release because there are still too many things to do and the new mod is not ready for public. We will release it in the Spring of 2012.

PS. Trolololololol"

:rolleyes:

I was tempted to start a poll to find out "What you think, in what month 486 will be released?", maybe with some funny answers at the end for the skeptics and trolls. But I found the idea distasteful, and I decided not to think about it anymore.

Thanks for all the great work guys. You did and do create something unique in entertainment.

And thanks for all the players too, you make the world alive.

Well, it happened with Freeworlds so it wouldn't be the first... Nah, it won't happen, hope not (but I had to write that down to had it quoted if it will happen and to say: "Told ya!"):lol:

No. I've spoken with devs recently, and they all say the same thing. 'It's finally releasable.' So we can expect to see it on time.:)
