What is it?

AutoPatcher QMUP (Quick Monthly Update Packs, pronounced as "queue 'em up") fills in the gap between AutoPatcher and Windows Update. QMUP releases are really what the name suggests.

- Quick

Being based on a lightweight version of AutoPatcher, it loads in no time. And since it only includes one month worth of (critical) updates, it's a quick way of getting your monthly dose of patches. :p

- Monthly

QMUP releases will only include the month's critical updates. In contrast to current AutoPatcher releases, QMUP is not cumulative, meaning each QMUP release will provide patches for one month only. Example: If you're system was last updated on April, you would need May and June QMUP releases, preferably installed in order (forming a queue -- how was QMUP pronounced again?).

- Update

QMUP will only include critical updates. No add-ons (windows media player or the like), no 3rd-party apps, no registry tweaks.

- Pack

QMUP will combine all of the month's patches into one file. You get that file and you're good to go for that month, installing it on as many computers as you like (remember, portable!).

What's the difference between QMUP and the current Update releases?

Basically, the current update releases require a previous AutoPatcher Full/Lite (last month's). QMUPs can work on their own. This means that you don't have to install it over a previous AutoPatcher and then re-run it just to install the new updates.

By the way, the numbers you see in the screenies are just fictional... for testing... They are not 37 real june 2006 patches :p

Will there be an option to select which updates to install?? (is WGA a critical update and do we get a choice?)

QMUPs will not offer selection, for the sake of being easy. Since it just packs critical updates it would be of little use anyway. If, however, people still want that feature for the QMUPs, I'll do my best to squeeze it in (maybe as "advanced" mode or something).

WGA-related stuff are not considered to be critical, therefore not included (actually, it's not even in the Full AutoPatcher).

So I guess the answer is "no" to both questions.

Hi Guys,

Far be it from me to criticize however if you have time to "spare" for work on a new version of AP, then could we not see some further beta's of AP 6.x?

I believe that some folks (such as myself) have been waiting to see what this new version might offer, especially extending AP into area such as Office updates and similar.

Is AP v6 still in development or has it been delayed / postponed or cancelled?

Kind Regards

Simon

v6 It's still more or less under developement. Actually QMUP uses the v6 engine :)

What v6 needs right now:

1. Logging

2. Mouse wheel support in the main selection list. This one is going to be a hard one to do...

3. General perfomance tweaks...

@robin145, if youve previously used autopatcher or another method to update your computer, you can use this to quickly install the june updates. it is an alternative to keeping a full copy of autopatcher and updating it with update releases. these are standalone products containing one monthly updates.

This is cool!!!! but I found there is only AutoPatcher XP June, what about May???? Or it includes ??????

No, a QMUP release can be thought of as a stand-alone autopatcher for just one month's critical updates. With that said, the June QMUP doesn't include May patches.

QMUPs as an idea is about 4 days old, so we worked to make June packs.

Ok releases for XP, 2003 and 2000 are available for download now...

Please install and feedback any issues.

Does this include feedback on your download mirror? I got hammered with pop-ups and pop-unders from the following adservers:

popunder.adsrevenue.net

ads.clicksor.com

I had previously disabled my pop-up blocker because it was interfering with some legitimate pop-ups on some websites (viewing product images on the website of a computer component manufacturer), and forgot to enable it again.

When I clicked on your link, I nearly had to perform a three finger salute to stop the furious non-stop barrage of pop-ups.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
