Update might be great? But I can't tell!
« on: April 11, 2007, 11:18:10 PM »
I am trying to get the patch right now, 11:16 Central time...

It goes like its going to download, but nothing comes down?  Anyone else having this problem?

Sure would like to play, but my load is outdated and the new one doesn't come down!

D/L it from the web-site.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

If I do that I have to back up all my sounds and gunsites and such...  I'd rather have the patch work like its supposed to.

Try rebooting your machine man.

Are you on dialup?  If so you are going to want to set it to download the hard way as it will be more stable.

At first it took a while to kick in, like about 10 or 20 seconds.  But once it did it took about 8 mins.  I'm on 5m connection.

I just updated, "like it's supposed to", no issues.
Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

hey if this keeps happening to you later and after a reboot, try shutting down your firewall and anti virus.  If it still doesn't work try plugging directly into your dsl modem after renewing the ip address you should be ok.  If not then it's routing issues on their or your isp's end.  However, I would look at your computer first to ensure it's not you and you alone...you app may be fubard,...

or your patcher may be fubard too.  

So to review:
-Try a reboot
then
-Shut down firewall/antivirus
then
-bypass router
then
-try long patch method or reinstall aces high as patcher may be fubard
then
-talk to isp or hitech support.

Let me know what finally resolves the issue.

Open Windows explorer, create a new folder or two somewhere on your HD, drag that stuff into it and once the DL is done and installed drag the stuff back over.

Still a little fuss but not as much as a back-up.

Don't take it personal man... But honestly, I said... that I don't want to back up and restore...

Then you came in and said "Dude, you could back up and restore!  IT'S GONNA ROCK"

I'm not getting in you, I'm just saying that you didn't read what I already said.

Sorry if you took it personally.

You can get the patch from the web site, no need to download the full install. From Pyro's post:

You can grab it through the auto-updater or if you can download the patch here if you have 2.09 Patch 5 already installed:
