What does paste bin got to do with the text file? Why do you need to create it there? Wouldn't you define the latest version of your game where you build it? Within Unity?

If you just want to read a file, you can use a StreamReader:

DotNetPerls - StreamReader

You can simple read the first line and let it be the version for example, then all other lines are just read and stored in an array or list.

I wanted to be able to know from within the game if its the latest version... and either way i figured it out.

So what was the solution? You didn't end up reading a text file?

I used the solution that someone else used for reading files located online and then just used the raw url from pastebin.
