Happy to see how active the development is!
I want to know how to update the game without downloading the whole source. I guess there is a way to do this with git, but don't know the details.

@hamid255 What OS are you running?

Fedora 35

If you're looking for the least amount of effort required, one option would be to install Snap, and then get the Snap package from the Snap Store. snapd can automatically download delta updates for new releases, and you wouldn't have to compile anything yourself.

(A note: Warzone 2100 is not a "classic" Snap - it's a new Snap that runs containerized / sandboxed. So I'm not sure that the Fedora 35 symlink issue will apply.)

If you'd like to compile it yourself, you can indeed look into using git to clone the repo:
