Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas is a non-commercial PC game being developed by PiratesAhoy!, and is to become the historical seafaring game to end them all! Fun, realistic gameplay on land and at sea, set during the Age of Sail, will provide extensive free play, exciting scripted storylines and intense multiplayer scenarios.
The update now is able to search a server for an update available, download it, unpack it, and then install and restart the application to finalize the update. This should help with speeding up the update process as the patches will be binary changes rather than having to upload complete packages every time.
