Maunal Updates Instead!

Is there a way that we could get manual patches instead of the auto updates. If a developer could answer this I would appreciate it a lot. It seems that too many people are having trouble with the auto updater as it is. Could we get a manual download page, that would speed things up for everyone that can't link to the patch server, that way we would have a file and then we would just have to download it from a site like File planet or here.:D

    the game is still in beta so auto updates are normal however when the game goes live time will tell weather they will release stand alone or manual updates.

    experience from other games tells me that usualy major updates only will be released as stand alone updates while patches and fixes will be issued automatically.

    ive not played any other games by cryptic so dont know for sure how theyll handle updates when the game finaly goes live

    I hope they make manual ones, I can't even get past the Cryptic Launcher Autoupdate and I can ping their server and everything.

    Also of note, if you can't get past the autoupdate, chances are something is wrong with your connection or your machine and you won't be able to patch or otherwise talk to any of our servers, so this isn't likely to fix anything.

    We will be posting an updated installer (with the current launcher at the time) closer to release.

    Oh okay. I am trying to figure out this problem because I can ping your patch server yet I can't get it to dl the patch or connect to it. Not sure what to do, any suggestions?

    Sorry to dissagree with you, CR, but not true in my case.

    I have been unable to patch CO's launcher from the first day I got my retail (Download took too long and disk came in when I wasn't even half downloaded), but as soon as my friend gave me his updated launcher it was fine and could patch.

    I have been unable to patch STO's launcher either. I have been downloading STO through the launcher from Dec 14, getting updated launchers as needed. I had started when you guys didn't have downloaders yet.

    But when I do get the new launcher from somebody, both games patch just fine. It just takes a while because my connection is horrible.

    So no, not being able to patch the launcher does not mean a high chance of not being able to patch the actual game. I just can't talk to whatever updates the launcher. Implausible said he would add a comand line to put into Options to extend the 5 minute time to update the launcher, but he never told me it.

    Also, I responded to another one of your posts with the option, I forget what it is right now.

    That's ok, I just found it. Sorry, I'm a bit slow looking at the Dev Tracker.

    Asked a question on the other thread, if you please. ;)

    I just wish it would work no matter what peoples cases are or whatever is going on with this Cryptic Launcher Autoupdate or whatever problems we have.
