Can you tell why the old installer is 105 MB while the updated has just 70?

Wow, and that makes such difference in size. Nice.
We need to delete the game before installing the new version ?
Cool, I'll fire it up again to check out the new classes. Nice to get some extra content with the fixes.

I'm curious about this as well. I just installed over the previous version, but I haven't run it yet.

Gonen32: We need to delete the game before installing the new version ?
I would do so since the new version is in an entirely new engine :)

Ah, thanks. Will it pick up the progress from your previous games, or does one need to start over?

I've read elsewhere that save games have been getting reset after the update...
Hell Yeah
Finally :)

I got it to restore my progress. Save the Save.ini file from your current RoR installation directory, uninstall RoR, then install the new one. Go into the new installation, rename the existing Save.ini to something like Save.ini.orig, and then move your old Save.ini into the RoR folder. Start the game, go to your Item Log, and you should see all your unlocks there. Likewise, on Character Select you should see all your unlocked characters. Finally, on Scores and Unlockables, you should have all your old scores and achievements.

Hope this helps!

Never mind, I ended up installing it without uninstalling the game before. The update is amazing. Looks like the game is a lot harder now, but the drop rates for red items went up as well. The new items and charecters are very fun to use.
So the new version is not without it's bugs, FYI. You can check the list at the official forums:
