The Software Update preference panel lets you set preferences relating to checking for new updates of TG3.

If you have automatic checking for software updates turned on then every time you start TG3 it will attempt to connect to the Internet and check with the Planetside servers to see if there is a new version of TG3 available. It is important that you realise this doesn't transmit any personal or private information about your computer, it only checks to see what the latest version of the software is. Planetside values your privacy. It also doesn't automatically download and install any new software.

If there is a new version available, then the next time you start TG3 you will be prompted to visit the Planetside website, where you can download and install the new version yourself. TG3 will only prompt you once per day if there are new versions available.

If you would prefer that TG3 did not automatically make a connection to the Internet to check for new versions each time it starts up, you can turn automatic checking off and use the "Check for Updates Now" button to manually check for new versions. You can also use the "Check for Updates" menu item in the Help menu.
