Skin download stuck on Lancaster
« on: January 03, 2014, 01:23:58 PM »
I had to reinstall the game before I came back many months ago...I started re-downloading the skins and it has been trying to download the first Lancaster skin for better than 5 months now...I've asked several times on the channels and the only relevant answer was the Lanc skin file is huge...I stopped downloading the skins last month thinking that might help my cause, but its still stuck downloading it....

The Lancaster files are up to 10 times bigger than some skins due to the 2048 res size plus the spec and bump maps included with the skin. However 5 months suggests something has gone wrong. Have you tried downloading the Lanc skins directly from the AH website? Once they are in your skins folder the game's auto downloader should skip them and move on to the next skin.

Don't know if this will help but have you thought about going into the skins folder a deleting the lanc files there and then re select the auto download again?
