Yes, Paladins and Smite are rolling release games and only ever have one
version available. Noting the confusion over versioning with Smite I will merge
all tests into a 'current version' and create a 'How-To', since years of bug
reports and 'tricks' have muddled what ought to be an easy install.

If HiRezUpdater is causing you trouble for Smite, please see the current test
results, with workarounds and how-to's, and using that knowledge, submit a test
result. In current tests, Wine 2.11 has trouble initiating The Hi-Rez Studios
Authenticate and Update Service, but sometimes, with many repeated attempts,
will start appropriately. It's hardly deterministic.

I recommend using Wine 2.11-Staging* to run Smite appropriately, as it doesn't
appear to experience the trouble Wine 2.11 has. Wine 2.11-Staging even displays
'dot' characters when typing in a password into the launcher, instead of the
'block' characters displayed in Wine 2.11.

I'm also working on some workarounds for Tribes: Ascend and Paladins: Champions
of The Realm. I'll submit some test results once I get those working.

*- Or Wine 2.10-Staging, based on current test results.
