    Nemisis,

    Central time is UTC/GMT -6 hours so that means that when it is 10:00 AM in Austin Texas, that be 4:00PM London. I'm sure you can figure out from there. :)

    BTW, you might want to partake this link... http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/. It has times for the major cities.

    Does that include live-streaming? It's entirely possible to keep a positive commentary going even where wierdness happens, but such events are still observed and form an impression.
    As an aside, while streaming last night (for my second time ever), I had a whole 1 visitor watch my stream, and it was a friend of mine. So this concern is less about my singular legion of watcher, and more hypothetical. ^_^

    I've used ...

    http://goo.gl/KVYzpF

    to install. The program installs. When launcher takes over it hangs for 5 minutes, then throws " Error during update, couldn't connect to patch server." "retry" or "force launch"

    What do I do now?

    There is a 5 minute timeout used to attempt Peer to Peer downloading. If it cannot connect via P2P, it falls back to an HTTP download from Portalarium's servers. Maybe their servers are hammered right now??

    Is it possible to post the RSS feed in here, or would that create problems in future releases being too public

    Mine does this every now and then as well. I wait a few minutes after the program closes and then try again. Sometimes that does it and sometimes I have to reboot. Thought it was my crappy internet.

    Do we need to have the client open in order to reseed?

    The launcher, yes. The game client (splash screen / login page) no.

    Sure. For those of you who want to help us distribute the game client (by uploading it to others via Peer-to-Peer), you are encouraged and welcome to leave the Launcher client open after patching and running the game. The Launcher will say it is "Seeding game files..." and it may help upload the game to other players. You don't have to take any additional steps.

    For those who are very familiar with BitTorrrent, another option is to use your own BitTorrent client to seed. If you want to do that, many clients support adding RSS feeds to automatically download and seed any torrent on a feed. We have a feed up at this address: http://patchserver.shroudoftheavatar.com/sotalive/torrents/SotATorrentFeed.xml If you add this, it will seed all the files that we would like help with.

    Once again, all of this is completely optional. Thanks for your help!

    It would be nice to see the news feed in the launcher eventually of course that's not top priority.

    The news feed for the launcher should no longer be placeholder.

    I have downloaded the installer, try to run it but nothing happens (literally nothing at all). I have tried running as administrator and still nothing, I have also waited 10+ minutes to see if there was a delayed reaction. Slightly tipsy as I have just got home from a works Christmas do, so if I am missing something blindingly obvious please point me in the right direction!
