Technical explanation: I don’t support delta encoding for updates yet, but Steam does.

I do get a bit more money if you buy it here, but don’t worry if you’d rather buy it on Steam that’s totally fine too!.

I have a lot of support mail and posts to go through still, sorry for the delay on that! But first I will fix the problem with Steam persona names not being used in the library, that’s my next priority!Įventually friends list support, and who knows what else, but for now I’m just trying to get the big things fixed and then get back to matchmaking. Oh, and yes, I will try to get Steam to account linking soon so Steam players can participate in the private beta forums. Report any bugs you find in the beta forums, and happy downloading! Oh, and once you link the accounts you’ll be able to post in the Steam SpyParty Discussions groups, regardless of which version you actually run. Plus you’ll be able to write a review and all that good stuff.

you can install the version anywhere you want, it’s just a directory of filesīut really, you can just install them both and they’ll interoperate.

you’ll get updates faster, when they hit, because Steam won’t let apps start downloads in the background, whereas I do, so when an update hits the server, you’ll get it immediately while for Steam you’ll have to exit SpyParty and wait for Steam to figure out there’s an update, and during that time you won’t be able to log into the lobby.Steam overlay, which is nice but also a mixed bag because the default shift-tab overrides its usage in the game for replay camera cycling and UI tabbingĪdvantages of running the version:.you’ll show up in Steam’s list of who’s playing SpyParty.you’ll accumulate Steam stats for playtime and stuff, but you’ll also accumulate the more accurate and granular SpyParty stats like usual too.the updates will download less data for most updates right now, 2 so if you’re on a very slow internet connection or using metered data when you update, Steam might be better.everybody loves having their games in one place, so now it’s in your Steam library.In fact, the Steam version will just use your existing account credentials, so you should be able to install it with Steam and run it and not see any difference at all. If you have alts, you’ll only be able to link one of them to your Steam account, but don’t worry, you’ll be able to log into all of your alts from your Steam version. There are no codes involved, just pure magic. You’ll need to make sure your email is up-to-date because I’ll need to send you a confirmation code, and then you’ll be sent to log into your Steam account, and poof! SpyParty will show up in your Steam library. Ignore my awful stats please, I tend to play people who are way better than me! Which is a lot of the community now, but anyway…Ĭlick that link, and follow the instructions on the forms.
