Big Update?

What this has to do with the patching?

i stumbled across that info on the pre-patching thread on the official forum. Decided to give it a try and it worked for me, so i decided to share it with you.
those are both launcher options btw.

Thanks.
Btw what's the prepatch purpose? To have less to download when the patch is released?

Dunno, normally those are supposed to be "demos", but it looks like in this case it could be different.

ill wait

I think I will die before the patching finishes...

Not sure what that prepatch thing was....I signed in and it looks I still have to do 10GB download? Not to mention that the server is dling at about .0000000001kbps....looks like this will take about a month to complete^^

Hopefully my fresh windows install and such will let me play without a bazillion crashes

I will let it download through the night, or wait till everybody got it and then download faster.

I haven't reloaded all things back to pc because I want to confirm that reloading windows helped (hopefully). LOL...since I started the dl when the server came back online...I'm up to 2.1% patched. I never thought I would see speeds slower than original dial up^^ Oh well, back to planting my garden and enjoy the day.

I started patching when the server was offline, it was fast, then it slowed down, and I restarted it to see if it gets better, then I got another patch dimension etc. so, dunno, lol.

no no you just have to separate the patch size and the download size. 10 GB have to be patched, but this is not the full download size. If you look while patching you see the patched size increases much faster than the download size.

Patched 35, received 37, lol

Updated launcher, downloading much faster.

patched 1 hour ago
launched it... noticed graphical bugs on the menu screen + a new free char slot
tried to join the server... without luck as it was full
waited in the queue half an hour... then the game crashed
giving up for today

I finally got it downloaded.....I get the same screen Rex....no idea here.

Toasted characters, that sounds appetizing. Anyway, nope, your chars are safe, they are always safe as they are saved, it's probably just a loading bug.

Well I got to see my char screen after the maintenance but...kept checking in to see where I am in the queue...lol....looks like I have to wait for 14k more people to sign out of the game before I can see if it even works. I give up today.

Really, how many days you think it's going to be full server with "stand in line" bull shit?

They are fixing the bugs fast.
