really i have to download 1.5gb patch 3 times today?

well so much for getting anything done today dowloaded the patch this morning there went 1 and half hours then just downloaded it agine for another 1.5 hours and right after it finished it restarted so there is another 1.5 hours gone i spent the whole day downloading the same darn patch 3 times not at all happy

 

Only thing that keeps me from rage quitting is my guild. I'm disgusted

 

Sorry to hear that

 

Seriously? I finished patching a couple days ago (at 35kb) hoping to finally play R38 for the first time this weekend to see if they fixed the Path of Love (I'm not holding my breath on that one). Now there are 3 more 1.5gb patches that need to be downloaded? LOL! Let's see how long that takes me to patch at 35kb. Maybe I'll be able to play before R39 kicks off.

Yeah, Yeah....pre alpha/early release....

 

your probably better off koldar if your patching threw steam while it resets the download if they make a change to the patch you only download the more recent one so if you still on the first one you'll only have to download the final third one and hopefully the weekend will be patch free

 

ya good guild helps derfus they usally do a good job with patches but this one was really large usally you only have to download 300 to 500mb and it;'s usally only 1 or 2 downloads a day was about finish a set of augmented cloth before this mess hit

 

Its worth to pay the extra $20 a month for faster internet... I downloaded it in a few minutes.

 

Are you using the sota downloader or something else (I.e. steam)?

 

I have the game on steam.

 

Yes, Steam seem to be the way to go when it comes to downloading the patches. All the patches downloaded very quickly for me on Steam today.

 

Why someone would possibly run SOTA not through steam is beyond me.

 

2017 .

 

2017 - Exactly, why would you link a game account that you might ever get rid of and might have some kind value to sale off to someone else. Can't do that easily with a Steam Account. The smooth patches don't supersede that IMO.

Because I don't like Steam, nor wish to have any of my accounts linked to Steam.

 

May i ask why?
I can see the frustration if you intend to sell an account... but for an average player of just about any casual game.. why not?

 

Personal preference... I'm no real objection to Steam, I just don't wish to be bound to them. For many people... perhaps most people... Steam may be the answer to many prayers. For those people... Have at.

I didn't back Steam.

 

lol

 

I picked up a second account at a sale through steam. I use that account to patch and then jsut login with my main login.

 

Ya i've done the same. Lightening fast updates when i'm on my home connection
