Instead of always going to the site, which takes a lot of bandwidth, just to play, why don't you make a launcher so that it will be easier to launch the game?

drift.ijji.com(298KB)
(a lot)

Of course they can. How come some games have a launcher?

Screenshots:

THIS GAME HAS A LAUNCHER EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN LOG-ON THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE

run the launcher. sign in then the patcher appears.

THE WEBSITE IS HTTP://O2JAM.COM.PH
when you click play there, you will be redirected and sign in first. after signing in, you will be redirected back to the site. when you click play, the patcher appears.



hope you get my point. :)

Even though some likes it better if you log-in through the main website, some likes it better using a launcher because it uses less bandwidth.

LESS BANDWIDTH = START GAME FASTER

i agree. loading the game with launcher is much much more convenient.

It really irritates me when I run the game, I had to go through a lot of bandwidth.
I hope GMs would be able to read this.
Almost all games have launcher, you know.

This is the first game i've played u have to log in from the website. I normally play warrock, you can log in to the website for forums, and ur account, but to start the game itself, I have a shortcut on my desktop which opens the game directly and I log in there. No explorer window opens. I would like to see the same set up as well. Its not that serious, just annoying i gotta close that iggi launcher each time. I notice if u leave it open, it causes a lot more lag.
