hi everyone, i distribute my html5 game using electron forge and i've been having a problem with updates.

every time i release a new update, users have to clear the appdata folder, as electron will load in a cached version of the old update. this makes releasing updates extremely tedious, as the user needs to do a full reinstall every time, and clear all of their saved data.

how can i fix this? is there an easier way to drop updates to users that don't involve a full reinstall every time?

force reload seems to help but still ultimately causes issues...

clear the data yourself when you detect a new version number?

spring wadi clear the data yourself when you detect a new version number?

how do i do that? and would it detect versioning that uses the '-beta' signifier at the end and whatnot
