Update Before Load
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 2:13 am
I think the game should check for updates before it goes through the trouble of loading all the different resources and whatnot. I'm playing Factorio on a slightly older machine and loading the game usually takes some time (specially when loading sprites) making it bitter sweet to get update messages. It just seems like a waste to go through all that, only to have to close the game for an update. This might also encourage users to go ahead and get that update instead of putting it off, immediately fixing bugs and improving overall user experience.
