Beta 17 brings a lot of changes under the hood.

  • Desura now support multiple branches per item so each game/mod can have different builds (i.e. demo, full, beta)
  • Desura now supports complex installs (i.e. replacing game files)

Due to the nature of the changes your item file will be reset and thus you will need to run the install wizard again.
