SE sort out your Updater ><

Okay. Why don't you try showing us the real you, so we can stop judging you based on what you've presented here so far?

I tried. People made comments on my post count or the fact I didn't play. I've been nice to people. No one is nice to me. I do not type well and I'm hated for it. I never till recently presently myself in anything being claimed. This is from people skimming or failing to ask for understanding. I've been open about my disability and no one wants to cut me some slack on how hard it is for me to type. Or that I'm on the ps3 and admited i have limited text room. I wrote a positive threads suggesting how some stuff can be better in a positive way. But since I didn't play my opinion "doesn't count". And people then insulted me for it. I have a positive thread about how if the bruins can win SE can turn this game around if we acted like fans and support it. And a few replies are "why don;t ingore do threads too" or "useless post" or "offtopic post".

Take a hint!


If you come into a thread where people are angry because 300MB takes 6 hours to download and all you can think to post is "Wait a day or two" you need to get your brain checked lol...

Because people are complaining about a patcher when that isn't the issue. It is the congestion of everyong trying to patch at the same time. So really who needs who's brain checked? >.>

I got the brains to not try to patch same day knowing there will be congestion. Try it sometime. instead of acting like a spolied rich kid who can't control everything with money.

it isn't anyones net or the patcher. But the fact that too many people are patching at the same time. People think the patcher sucks for trying to patch it on patch day.

Not mjy fault people feel my advice isn't worth their effort. Though I am proud that people "like" this game enough to complain over a slow patcher.

Perhaps it's that you're arguing in the face of overwhelming evidence?

Perhaps it's because you're well-known for blindly defending Square Enix for even the tiniest of transgressions?

I'm going to repost this from the 1.17c discussion thread which should basically put all your suggestions to bed. Can't wait for you to tell me that I don't know how to run PCs properly or some BS like that.

Here's what I'd like to know.

Quad-core i7 950, 12 GB of RAM. I start the client up and it's working fine, not stalling but not exactly blazing along.

5 minutes later, I turn on my wife's PC, an older Athlon II X4. She never had any "remote connections", 20 local. I have 34 remote, 26 local. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean anyway, it's a poorly-worded indicator. I assume remote is other users, local is SE-managed nodes, but I dunno.

Her PC has since finished the update, and my PC is just past 50%.

We're on the same connection, on the same switch even.

What's up with that?

In the end I took about 45 minutes to patch. Her PC finished it in under 10. Both are using UPnP. I'm on FIOS, and I have an excellent router.

My best guess is that the netcode used by their custom BT platform does a terrible job of managing leechers, and if you connect strictly to seeders, then you maintain good speeds. But obviously we can't all connect just to seeders, or else we'd be back to the days of the horrible FFXI patcher (albeit with fewer dialogues - AMAZING that the *one* aspect of FFXIV that has fewer dialogue prompts is the updater). Thus, if you connect with uTorrent, with its superior connection-handling, it flies through. As an added plus, uTorrent users continue seeding the file, helping their fellow players out.

So yes. It's not working correctly.

At this point, since they have *so* many other things to do and don't seem to understand yet another aspect of good PC development, they should just disable the patch deletion in the client and post some instructions for using uTorrent to encourage other tech-savvy users to contribute. Doing that would only take a couple of hours and would require no coding and it'd make everyone happier in the long run.
