Is there a way to d/l the patch onto a USB drive at work and then instal it on my home PC from the drive?

Take all the updated files once the patch is done at work.
Jam it into a hard drive.
Bring it home and overwrite everything in your game directory.

Yes! After hours mayhem! 20 years ago I used to work for a tech firm that pretty much had the equivalent of its own phone company on site and we used to play Doom 2 multiplayer co-op and PvP all night.

Currently I am unable to patch Star Citizen, it dies after about 15m and my interwebs are down until I reboot my modem. Sucks. I have a 40Mb connection too.

This is not the first large MWO patch, what did you do all the other times they had 5-6 GB patches?

Sounds like plan, then maybe run the repair tool to make sure you didnt forget any files.

they would rather flat out brush it under the rug rather than address customer concerns, and thats a horrible buisness practice.

Ping's fine, it's the bandwidth that's limited. Worst case is just to leave it downloading for a couple of days. A trade off for living in rural Somerset

Maybe save a back up of your original files, just in case something is messed up enough, that you need to roll back and make the update again through the original way.

You're probably going to run into a little trouble though, Steam is incredibly bad for tinkering with its game files.

I'll try this. Will post up next week how it went.
