I think it's time to stop building binaries-only versions manually since we have another way to get that files.
  1. Navigate to GitHub action, windows build https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/ ... indows.yml
  2. Find the latest build for a branch you are looking for. In most cases it's master. You could use the filter to find the branch
    https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/ ... h%3Amaster
  3. Click on the build
  4. Scroll down to the Artifacts section
  5. Download your binaries
  6. Unpack with an override to the game directory

If those artefacts contain everything that's currently in the "Binaries Only" package I provide, I'm most certainly all for it! Less work for me after all... ;)

Everyone ok with that change? Any objections? Geoff, what do you think?

I don't know what the download numbers are for window's builds so not sure how many people play using windows, but I do.

I have no idea what you two are talking about above, but assume a build will not be done for windows.

I have looked at instructions above, but was lost when I landed at
Github screen wrote: build-windows.yml

MSVC 2019 on window....
MSVC 2022 on window....

I would need step by step instructions from there, including where to place them on my computer.

the suggestion was to automate the build/publishing of downloadable installers for windows, not to remove them.

Thanks Ophiuchus - I did not understand the terminology

We are talking only about Download link for zip archive with binaries only. part. This feature is used by developers, who get other parts of the game, like AI and scripts from the repository.
I have no idea what you two are talking about above, but assume a build will not be done for windows.
binaries only archive is created in two ways:
one manually by Vezzra and manually uploaded to the storage, and manually announced to this thread. The second way is done automatically when changes are submitted to the project.

The idea is that we could simplify Vezzra's life a bit so he will need to post only the full installer.
The automated way is simplify developer's life since they could get the latest build at any time.
