Tom Speirs Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 9th May, 2006 - GameEx 6.06. The GameEx download has been reduce by nearly 70% to just over 11MB as the themes are now downloaded seperatly, and only 1 theme is included with the basic installHowever, by default the existing themes will be downloaded and installed when installing GameEx, and the extra download size is 18MBYou can however tick the checkbox to not have it download the themes, say for example you have a low bandiwdth connection, or are already using a recent version.For offline installs the themes archive is also available on the downloads pageAnd yes I completely understand how much a dial-up connection sucks!Hopefully this helps a little. In relation to GameEx this makes a 50KB connection equivalent to a 128KB connection or there abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullus Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi all, I'd like some feedback on the new install if possible. Any takers?Worked nice for me and I really appreciate this new feature. I'm always glad I don't have to waste harddisk storage for useless stuff and as I'd like to stick to the default theme there's no need for the others. In case I need them, I'll download them. Perfect! Not to talk about the poor people on dial-up connections.Two minor things to mention:1. you outline version 6.07 on your webpage but after installation it turns out to be 6.06 (extremly minor point )2. What I did before updating to 6.06 was, I deleted every theme from my HD apart from the 5 Custom V2 Defaults. After installation of 6.06 WITHOUT downloading any other theme I got all the (mostly empty) folders of the other themes back like "deep purple", "video fun" a.s.o.

Shiek Yerbouti Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 So I can simply use the smaller file to upgrade gameex and don't need to worry about downloading the big 30 meg file? Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricci Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Easiest install to date! Would it be possible, at some point, to have access to previous versions?? I liked some of the older version, but overwrote them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Oh yeah! Who's the man?! Hehe I don't know if this release was directly in relation to my earlier post, but I'm very glad Tom decided to go through with it. With new versions being released so quickly, I was finding myself download almost everyday the same stuff! Good job!- Meps, if you want to read my post, it was just the other day over here:http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=1555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
