How do I update Starsector?
« on: March 08, 2022, 10:17:15 AM »
I feel like this Is a silly question, however the only way I know how to update is to re-download the game and put in the activation code again. Is there a simpler way to update the game? Am I missing something?

Just like you said, you download the game again and just run the installer - if you've sent it to the same directory, it should automatically uninstall the old version and install the new one (though you can send it to a different directory - I know some people like to keep around multiple versions of Starsector). But you shouldn't have to put the activation code in again if you've already done it on that computer.
