    DTG Matt This has got me confused and worried!
    As a PC user why is there going to be a addons manager. Is it needed, and what will the benefits be?
    Of course my concern is that when it's released, Will PC users get the same issues as PS users have been getting with missing dlc's?

    Addons manager is how TSW loads content now. The only way PC doesn't get it, is if it stops receiving further updates.

    It has the name "addons manager" to make it easier to talk about it - but actually you're talking about a fundamental restructure of almost all aspects of the game, menus and well, literally everything has been affected. It's not a "thing" you can have or not. Right now we're essentially maintaining three separate(ish) codebases - playstation, xbox (release version without it, internal version with it) and PC (without it). This is a nightmare and making everything much harder to do - so at some point once it's in a good place it will be all folded into one codebase otherwise it just becomes unmaintainable.

    Of course the aim is to not have bugs, and testing and work continues on Addon Manager, it hasn't stopped.

    Matt.

    Thank you Matt, I really appreciate it.
    The dev's have really got their hands full, with having to sort out all the different platforms.
