Another patch?!

Just tried to log in this morning and it's downloading another patch, which is weird because there is no news on the lodestone.

It's called D2011.03.30.0000 and is 103mb, suspicious.

I logged on fine this morning without the patch, but just now needed to relog and have to download the patch to get onto the game.

I read this post and tried to log in and i got the same patch to download, but i had already previously downloaded the 1.16a patch, so wtf is this?

Guess it could be this!

It's a mystery....hence it's excitting. :D

It is just to fix a crafting problem that makes the game crash.

Now I see that my sig does not work lol.

Hotfix, with an incredibly large filesize but a hotfix.

kinda looks like they changed something in that 103mb file that was updated with the first 1.16a patch, and then made us redownload the entire thing again.

I got tired of waiting for the PS3 version to come out. The day I got the PC version all hell broke loose & then the freaking server went down for a week... I just figured out the ideal settings for my system & I just want to freaking make a new character and get on with it... I can't decide what race I want to be... You know, all the female models, except for the mikote, run like they are seriously chafing under the arms... it kind of ticks me off because I don't want a tail... GAH!!! STUPID P2P DOWNLOADS .\/.

They have a 103 mb file that is the core functional for Synthing most likely. Any time they change even a small variable in Synthing that whole file has to be downloaded and replaced to allow for maintained internal file encryption.
