Zeno Clash updated to version 1.04

The new update includes:

1) NVidia 3D Vision support!

2) New wallpapers! You can get them at the game's root directory.

3) German localization fix.

The main purpose of the update was mostly to add 3D support to the game. We added in the wallpapers for those who can't enjoy the 3D feature.

850 MB. That's quite a fix.

The nVidia 3D Vision support forced us to recompile the whole project, which is why the update is so big. Unfortunately we had no way around this.

are you kidding me? forced 850 mb for 3d vision which i dont have or need. Time to uninstall this game. You should let users decide whether to or not install this.

That's the price of technology, shape up or ship out.
Programs are becoming bigger and more compliated each year, so do hard drive requirements. 850MB means nothing these days. Expect to be uninstalling many games in the future if updates like these upset you.

And how do you know for sure if the entire 850MB was ADDED to the game folder and not just some files were replaced? I don't know what the folder size was anymore before the update but for all we know it only enlarged by 200MB.

I say this because the system requirements are 3GB HDD space. The folder is now 3.2GB. That doesn't look like 850MB was added, does it?

You're using Steam, it always auto-updates all games. The only choices you have are "always auto update" or "update when I launch the game".

I'll use this as a reminder to play the game again, even if I've already done everything.

The point is the bandwidth cost, smart guy. Some of us have data caps.

Offline mode exists.

A problem that is quite prevalent around the world in some locations. Game devs are aware of this, their hands are tied as is ours. We don't all get the luxury to choose to live in a location that has no bandwith cap and is affordable. Extensive online gaming will always require heavy downloading. Just like life, it sucks and is unfair but what can we do about it? We suck it up.

If one is using Steam's offline mode a lot of the time, then the bandwith thing isn't a problem, is it?
And if somebody doesn't want to auto-update, select the "update only when I run the game", so it won't auto-update should they connect online for a short moment. People with capped bandwith do this with all their Steam games, so they have control when the Steam client downloads stuff, if they want that to happen at all.
Had Naibchang done this, he would still have the old version of the game without the 3D vision update that he didn't want.

That's a lot more complicated and though I'd love to support VR for ZC, it would demand a lot more development time than 3D. If VR was more developed by the time the game released we probably would have supported it, but now we just have too many things on our hands to do something like that.

Zeno Clash 3 with Vive and Rift support is what I smell here.... Vive with ZC would be actually a pretty perfect combo

Hahaha. Ok, we'll keep your suggestion in mind if we go in that direction.
