If you get a notification at the bottom right of the screen saying an update is available for the game and if you would like to update it, it's OK to update. The only thing that's being updated by the online component is GUI14.exe
Does not hurt the program. Not sure what the updates from the developer resolves but your free to download it if it shows up :)
Right now I have build 16 of the app.

All regions should have Fritz 14 Engine Now (32 Bit / 64 Bit)
Dear Players,
Thank you very much for interacting with us in regards to the Fritz 14 Engine being missing. We have resolved the issue and new builds of the games for all regions (32 bit and 64 bit) should now include the missing engine. You will have to remove your old version of the game and redownload the game from Steam in order to get the new build of the game.
As always we are monitoring your feedback. If you see anything else crop up please let us know when you are able to and I will pass this onto the QA team for further evaluation.
