Auto-update when opening the game

Describe the feature you'd like to see added

I'm coming here from:

https://www.re4hd.com/?p=9589&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=re4_tweaks-fixes-and-update

A new auto-updater feature, which can be opt-in or opt-out. It could function as follows:

  • When the game is started, it checks for a new version
  • If a new version is found, prompt the user to install it
  • After the user clicks in install, the update should be downloaded and installed automatically, and the game restarted

Feel free to reject, but I think this would be very nice to have in order to streamline the user experience.

I've been thinking about this recently, and I might implement this feature. I always thought people don't really like mods that auto-update, though, so that's why I haven't done something like this yet.

Oh well, I would super appreciate this feature, and I suppose that others would follow.

But if you want to play safe, you can add an option to opt-out (or, more drastically, to opt-in).

this option has to be optional, a lot of people don't like this auto update

Finally had some time to work on this:

Seems to be working pretty smoothly. Will push it after we merge the trainer PR, probably.
