Currently, the Content Creator edition is registering to the itch.io client as an "update" as opposed to a separate install, and would overwrite the base version. I don't think this is the intended functionality?
That's... not the point. I have to manually check for updates because the system always thinks there's an update. And less annoyingly, but still inconveniently, I need to right click to select Launch instead of just clicking to Update. It's also not possible to have both versions installed simultaneously, which doesn't affect me, but may affect some people.
Maybe you don't use the client so you don't understand what I'm talking about? You've made it extremely inconvenient for client users to use anything except the Content Creator version.
And for the players who don't use the client, they would need to download the versions separately regardless of which they want to use, so there would be no override under any circumstances.
If you want Content Creator to override the base version while still being an option, it seems much more reasonable to simply add it as a toggle and have only one version.
Yep, that worked. I did have to uninstall and reinstall since my old installation was now completely defunct, but it now registers them as separate downloads.
BTW, the problem wasn't that 3.4 wasn't registering as the latest version, but that Content Creator was registering as an update from 3.4 rather than being a separate entity. But that's fixed now.
