Patch is up (launcher & client)

[Valarice]

It honestly might just be 1GB because the patcher downloads an entire 1GB archive, as opposed to just downloading the files that changed in the archive and applying them manually.. Disappointing if that's the case, but I've seen it happen with many a game before.

Yeah, I would hope it'd download a manifest file for the update and apply those files to the file container but your explanation definitely seems like what is happening. We'll see when they announce what the patch contained, it should be relatively obvious once they announce the changes.

If this was just a "fix" it wouldn't warrant an entire VERSION update. Fixes generally just change the version build number but not the version itself. Like, 2.0.0129 vs. 2.1.0010. The first is not a complete version update. I don't know. Maybe they just did a poor job of wording whatever it is they're doing. Who knows.

wrong its not just a fix they made changes to the DF and how it processes que's amongst other things they have yet to mention.

That's essentially what I was getting at.. It's NOT a fix. If it was they wouldn't have worded it as an entire version update. Version changes usually imply new or additional things.

When Worlds do finally reopen after the maintenance, we expect a rush of players trying to log back in. To prevent any further login issues, we will be using the utmost caution when restarting each World. Please understand that there may be some congestion at this time.

Just putting this here in case anyone forgot.

Semantics honestly.. It doesn't matter what they call it. They needed to do some kind of update to the client regardless, if for no other reason than to add the new servers to the local serverlist. Hopefully more than that of course, but they love staying quiet until the last second..

Yeah, I would hope it'd download a manifest file for the update and apply those files to the file container but your explanation definitely seems like what is happening. We'll see when they announce what the patch contained, it should be relatively obvious once they announce the changes.

I'd hope so as well, but a lot of times they're just really lazy with this sort of thing..

I just hope the new patch doesnt introduce a whole slew more of crashes or dcs. Maybes its an anti afk feature?

[kenxxx]

ya that's great but I get errors when its downloading update looks so promising "sighs"

I assume that the uptime for the servers won't change from the current 2 hours 45 minutes from now?

It could be content for the summer seasonal event. They said it would be out about a week or so after launch so this would be a good time to patch the client for it even if they wait for servers to be stable and everything to check out before making it live.
