Streaming update



When a game update is released, the program will initially only download a portion of the update (i.e. what is essential for the update to function). Players can already play the game with this data, but additional data that isn’t essential may be released with each update (i.e. graphics that will be used in an event which is going to happen soon). This additional data will be downloaded during game play. When players change districts or enter a new explorable area, they may experience a delay before the new area is loaded, during which the game downloads data (note the description next to the progression bar at the bottom of the screen). Also, when the game is left idle at the login screen, data will be downloaded. This is indicated by the image of a small lightning bolt in the upper right corner of the screen. Next to this icon a number will display the amount of data that has been downloaded. This icon may also appear during normal game play, occasionally.
