The Launcher

[Daakjenaar]

I was going to leave for a while (Dogs apparently need hour-long walks) , and TWW is coming out before I get back. If I leave the Steam Warframe launcher on before the update goes live, will it find and install it? I don't want to spend an extra 15 minutes waiting once I get back

Short Answer: No
 

Long Answer:

The Launcher only runs a check against the update server once, when it first runs. Once the server tells it there is no update, it loads some of the base dlls and other components of the Evolution Engine, and then lets you click "PLAY".

Such a strange question that I was also wondering. I wanted to leave the launcher open while I play some Dark Souls. Guess that won't work.
