I heard it is possible to have a verb in a game where you can update the version of the game and it will just reboot the game automatically with all the new updates.... Is this true, and if so, how would it be coded or where could I find it???

Look up the fcopy proc in the help menu.

Okay, thanks Kija. That helped me out a lot, and I already tested to make sure it worked and it does. My second question is that will it still work if I am not hosting???

As long as you still have access to the verb, it should work fine.

Not directly, at least on a windows system, if the resource file has been updated (icons, music, sounds, etc.) Assuming the host(s) will run the game in trusted mode it can be done using my Patch and start method, or similar means.
