This is about the update process, not the actual game...

Just to confirm, I like that the updates are done fairly smoothly, pretty much 2 or 3 clicks and done.

The reason for this post is that after the update is done you are left with an empty screen. Now, I know it worked, and starting the game again is not a big deal, but..

I would suggest one of the following..

1) Clicking on the update in the UI, it takes you to a confirmation screen, that screen should warn the user that they will need to re-run the game once the update is complete.
2) When the (MSI) installer launches, before quitting, it should bring up a popup to say that the update was complete and successful.
3) Have a checkbox in the (MSI) installer that asks if you wish to re-run the game once the files are updated (for QoL this checkbox should be, by default, ticked)

The priority for this is low, like really low, I only mention it because as a dev it sort of bugs me that once you've updated you are spat out to your desktop with no success (or fail) messages, and without the game re-running. To most experienced gamers an update process "stopping like that" suggests the update did not work.

This has been a pet peeve of mine as well, it's always a bit jarring ending it like that.

Like you mentioned, it is a small thing, but it would be nice to see something at the end.

Huh. I've always taken the "No news is good news" view. If it didn't give me some flashing red error box, or a BSOD, all is well.

In the grand scheme of things it's a very tiny annoyance (if it's even that), overall the process is good considering it's not hosted on a platform like Steam. Would be nice not to be dropped out after updating though.
