ost_uid0="abc345"]what is the downloadable of the game ??? do you mean we dont have to get on the internet to play it or somthing[/quote]
Right now, when you play the game. You only dowload about 3-4 megs of the game. You do not download all the characters,music,backgrounds, and helpers.
You only download what you use.
So when you select a character and a helper at the character select screen....THAT is when you download the "requested" information and all this data is stored in your "temporary internet files folder" for later use.

With the Down Loadable version of the game.
You will be able to load the full 8 meg,version of the game. It will have all the "current" characters,music,backgrounds,and helpers.
The game will still be an online multi-player game as it is now.
Except that it wont be stored in your temporary internet folder like the current version is. It will be a near complete program. That could reside on your desktop or programs folder..
Any time TMyApp does some thing new to the game...you will have to download a small patch,to get all the latest updates.

Now for a question of my own.
TMyApp: Will the D/L version use IP tunneling?
Does Shockwave even support IP tunnneling?

Oh and the story line mode rocks Tmy

It's nice to see all the characters with A/I. The implimentation of a "big boss", story line, and D/L version is another big step in XvsSF history..anyone that thinks other wise has their head up their ass
Good work man.[/quote]
well ur wrong about that....you are acually downloading the whole thing cause it's about 7mbs so far...each update adds about half a mb or so and sometimes more so the downloadable version will br just about the same size. lol where the hell did you get the idea of it just downloading 3-4 megs when it takes certain ppl 30 mins or so to download...except for DSL/Cable since they get it in about a 1 or less

but it is around 7 mbs right now...check you hidden folder for IE if you want
