    As it says: update from 1126 to 1128 failed to complete, giving error message. Restarting luancher is forcing download of the entire game.

    This happens to me form time to time where a patch will fail and or Error.

    There needs to be away to retry the last update rather then what happened currently.

    currently when a patch errors and you hit ok it has to redownload the whole game again which if you are
    on a limited Data cap causes much grief as it takes so many Gigs from the monthly cap.

    Please consider away to allow a retry.

    thanks,

    Gov. Xee

    Is it just me ?

    For the fourth time in nearly as many patches I got an error during updates forcing a reload from scratch.

    This becomes very wearing....

    This one's doing okay for me.
    I have had to do two full reinstalls in the past month though, and one full reinstall of QA, due to a mysterious updating issue that caused the game to unity error when pressing the "play" button.
    So every time there's a patch, I kinda close my eyes and press the update button, bracing for impact, lol.

    Thankfully this has *not* happened to me with successive patching. But I play through Steam, does that make a difference?

    Yes, SotA via Steam doesn't perform delta patches instead it downloads the already patched files.

    It gave some error about failing to patch and "Developer see log file..". I clicked on Re-Try and BOOM! It started to repatch the entire game from zero to 1176. Guess I'll have to take a few hours of forced break now. This sucks.

    Please supply more information.

    Take note of the template above: What OS are you running? Are you running steam? Were you able to send the logs to support@portalarium.com?

    Seeing this issue on all three platforms.
    Have the log file submitted from Linux

    Issue #66998 created.

    Normally, once a bug is submitted, we do not need any further input while it is being worked on. (yes, we know it's still happening :p) In this case, I am looking for as many logs with examples of this issue as possible (from as many platforms as possible: Mac, Linux, and Windows)

    If this happens to you: DO NOT attempt to patch right away (do not force launch or retry)! Please collect the following information first:

    1. Grab the logs:
    Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Portalarium/Shroud of the Avatar - Launcher/Player.log
    Windows: <Drive_Letter>:\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar\Shroud of the Avatar - Launcher_Data\output_log.txt
    Mac: /Users/user/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

    (If the issue occurs on QA, then the directory/folder may be slightly different (like) may include (QA) in the Launcher name. - but the log name should be the same as noted above, for your particular OS)

    2. Post here with the following:
    A. What OS are you running on?
    B. How did you download the Patch? (Torrent client [please provide name of client software] or via the game launcher)


    For the logfile please send it to support@portalarium.com with the subject line of: "Logs for Issue#66998 ATTN: Ravalox"

    Hi,

    running Mojave 10.14.6 lastest OsX patch as of May 28th, starting from client, not Steam.
    Complete reload of game after failed patch to 1221, red message with something like "consult developer log" or so.

    Ugly and a waste of my playytime :(

    Hi @Ravalox,
    same 5hit, different macOS. iMac 2017, 24GB RAM, Radeon Pro 580 8GB, macOS Monterey 12.6.1.
    I am not sure which update crashed it, it was the one released on Nov 17. Launcher says 0 -> 1605, but it was before 1605.
    I sent an email with the logs to support.
    ...watching the progress bar... :(
