Title: Automatic skin download stuck on the Lanc
Post by: phatzo on October 14, 2013, 08:33:01 PM

I recently re-installed the game and I'm just letting the automatic skin downloader download skins when I'm playing. It has downloaded probably about 50 skins and has gotten stuck at the Lancaster, it keeps saying the download is resuming. I know I can down load them from the main page but would rather not be worried about it. Any ideas?

NVM I manually downloaded the Lanc skins and all is going well now.

Not sure why it would hang on the background download to begin with.

It must be my system, I remember it doing it years ago on the P38 too, about the time the Brew and I-16 came out. I think I just stopped downloading skins that time.

Bear in mind the Lancasters are 2048 res skins with bump and spec maps and will take much longer to download than the 1024 skins. I did a quick test by zipping all of a Lanc's submitted files and got a size of 3.79 mb. I then zipped another 1024 res skin with no bump and spec maps and it was only 510 Kb.
