Kaiser Isaac Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 When you downlaod a patch in SWG.........does it download automaticly when you try to get on........Or will you have to search a website to download it........
Deft Aklin Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 It's automatic. The Launchpad also has access to a chat room and in game settings for graphics and such.
Kaiser Isaac Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 Ok good..........I am a big fan of ingame downloading.....It seams more stable then searching websites.......but thats just the way i look at it.......
swphreak Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 ea, when you launch the game, it does a scan, to make sure none of your files are corrupted or to see if you need them. And there is a chat area. You can come and get owned in the Trivia room with the lazy Trivia Droid or talk in Troubleshoot with problems
Dr. Zaius Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 However, ingame downloads are most of the time, slower to download then what you would get off a website. We shall see, some games have good ingame dl and some have real poor ingame dl.
UnfrozenCaveman Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 I'm a fan of ingame downloading- also, i found that it was easier to download a patch later, when not as many people were probably accessing the server.
Damarius Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Thought some of your would like to know that the size of the patch will only be 20mb.!! http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/betaswg/Forum2/HTML/017535.html
Deft Aklin Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Eh, I just do my downloads earlier in the day and play at night. Swim on Dathomir pic:
Sunshine Badass Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Damarius: Where does that link lead? It wants me to join the Fan Club. What craziness!!!
Deft Aklin Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 It goes to the Beta forums, so you won't have access. I'd delete it, but it's already been posted all over the net....if you're looking. Floating Harvester?:
Sunshine Badass Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 So is the 20Mb only for beta? Or will we have to download the patch on release? My mind says: Dumb question, Sunshine... The info should be included on release, but a few patches will be necessary in the coming weeks. DEFINATELY necessary.
Deft Aklin Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 He's talking about the patch today, nevermind him. That was a beta update we received today.
TheMaestro Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 I think patches will be handled same as any online game...they might be massive at first for Galaxies, but we'll see.
Kaiser Isaac Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 Well i most patches are around 20mb i should be fine........I have 56k.........It should only take 1 hour.......thats saying alot considering i downloaded a patch for battlefield 1942 and it took almost 4 hours......
Deft Aklin Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 The main thing is, your first patch. When did they print the CDs? How much will change between then and release? Could be a few of you with a 8+hour download on that first day. I've had some three+ hours downloads during Beta and I have a cable modem. Let's hope for the best. The last two have had a lot of changes, but were small patches. Yet again....secret location screenie...Corellian statue. Humorous story, I found this my first day of Beta. I was so into beta that I climbed the highest mountain I could find and low and behold...a friggin statue.
Kaiser Isaac Posted June 21, 2003 Author Posted June 21, 2003 D_S........that pictue that you have there says your ping is at like 150 somthing if i am not mistaken.......Well your cable modem is not veryfast or somthing.........Alot of 56k connectons are arund that........Also i hear that on shooters.....You ping is higher than a rpg because there is so much more info to transfer......Well on battlefield 1942 my ping used to be around 150-200 and i only have 56k connecton......so i dont know whats up there......I personaly cant say anything because i have never played the game.........So is there anybody els out there that can tell me what the average ping on this game is for a cable connection...........Also what i the average ping for a 56k connectin on this game.........And has anybody els an into 8 hour patch downloads......?
Lord_Vessen Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 56k having a 150 ping time? Hahahahahahaha. Eherm. Well I do not see why you try to show off your 56k connection Isaac . It may be a fast ping but it sounds like a dl nightmare:mad: . 4 hours for the BF1942 patch? Jeese. That would suck. Oh well. At least I have a cable modem.
Jan Gaarni Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Can we please stay off the 56kers backs. It'll get the job done, as long as your computer is up to the task of running the game really well.
Jackrabbit Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Originally posted by Kaiser Isaac Well it gets the job done!!!!!!!!!!! That's right! [Edit] Sorry, that was kind of spam. I'll throw the title of the thread in to make sure I'm on topic . Downloading Patch's
