One way to effectively reduce the installer size
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:44:09 PM »
Can seperate the JRE out of the installer.
So that the installer should be much smaller.
And most of the players would choose to use 64bit jre anyway.
So I suggest to have a seperate download for JRE 32 bit and 64 bit version, which would only require to download once for any version.

It looks like SS will be shipped with 64 bit java around the time .8.1 comes out
