  • For anyone reading this reply, my workaround fixes the known "Stuck in old version" bug which annoys a lot of people around the discord at the very least (PWA c3 gets stuck to the version you install it as, and inconsistently prompts you with an update on launch which leads to members sometimes doing commits in an older version) and also lets you actually stick to a version in case some custom functionality breaks without your consent.

    Additionally those using custom engine launchers or edits were in a disadvantage as it was impossible to choose when to upgrade your team to a new version. I still lost time because of the devs not implementing a basic software QOL option before finding this workaround. The original post has everything noted.

    Your work is awesome, Ashley, but you are ignoring a lot of paying customers by not even adding an advanced option like a Chrome parameter for disabling the enforced updates which have consistently broken workflows.

      Updates are not mandatory - you can choose whichever release you want to use on the releases page. If you work in a team, your whole team need to upgrade at the same time. That's a part of project management that your team will need to handle - software can't handle that for you.

      If you install the stable version, then the installed version will always update to the latest stable release, and if you install a beta version, then the installed version will always update to the latest beta release. That should always work consistently, and if it doesn't, please file an issue.

      • If anyone wants to work consistently and freely using Github, currently the PWA is not the way to go. Shortcutting an editor version works exactly as it was before you enforced updates, and has never given me any issues since. I just click c3 on my taskbar, and the correct version is displayed for everyone.

        If anyone wants extra steps and the risk of losing progress, that's cool. Tried reasoning on the forums a long time ago, to everyone's frustration on the dev's responses. I still respect his stance, and his work is absolutely incredible (has been my main professional engine for too long to remember).
