Andrew,

Is there a definitive way to know if one has this update?

I buy my update each year around December 29 or 30. For 2 reasons..
1) it is my Christmas - because it is really the only thing I want each year (my wife wraps last year's box, then a few days later, I order it) and....
2) I prefer to wait until things "shake out" a bit and settle down (patches, fixes, updates).

In the past, my drive has arrived with the most recent version. This year it was a couple behind - it came with 453 when 456 had been released...


So... I am wondering if I need this RealTracks update or not.

Is there a way to tell?

Thanks for all you do! - fj

I suggest that you download and install it to be sure, there is no harm in doing that. You will also want to install the latest Band-in-a-Box build patch. We try to ship a very stable version on the hard drives, so it often lags the recent build available in a download patch.

Each year I go through a similar deal of what Floyd Jane posted. I wait until late in the month to order, hoping that all bugs and fixes will be included. I don’t have the need or drive to be first in line on December 1. Got plenty to do in the meantime. However, I try to update with any new patches whenever released. When new versions of BIAB appear, I enjoy reading the early bird reviews, comments, demo videos, etc. before making the plunge.

There is an "update" feature inside of BIAB, right? Does this also patch the Real Tracks?

Thanks.
