Serious this game deserves the golden acorn it's data structure is one of the worst i seen in 30 years of computer history patching alone takes a century getting on Player test server is feels like mission impossible.

suggestion, at least make the mechs, sound etc each his own data zip or something so one do not need to download 16.000 files easy as pie.

OP obviously never played World of Warships.

Checked just now one of the older versions (0.5.4.1), prior to the big data packaging upgrade, and they had 223.5k files distributed over 38.8k folders.

Compared to that, MWO's test client's numbers are just fine.

what a waste of a thread.

Most of these guys have no clue what they are talking about in the first place. They are just feeling a certain type of way and make a thread about it.

I know enough it literally takes 6 Hours to get mech warriors up to date with the current patch system.
how do you think most new people will think about that?.

it may be your Internet Provider, or your connection, i patch in around an hour on my old Toshiba Satellite 875D,
i dont think most people are having 6 Hour downloads or more people would talk about it here on the Forums,

maybe if you stop wasting time making condescending threads deciding who deserves an acorn award, maybe you should spend your time finding a solution

You Sir have an uncanny ability to describe yourself whilst complaining about others.

already stated a "solution" unlike your self.
the game patch each patch individual which really make updating time consuming. (for it first download a ZIP then unpack the zip) if they wan't to have efficient download they should put their data in a 1GB structure file system your harddrive will love it also less seeking time.

State of the art PC, with reasonable ISP. 40Mbps download 4Mbps upload. and 20 MB's a second writing speed on hard disk so blame it on MWO not my PC.

6 hours?!

Might be time to step up from that 56K modem...

Average update unless you're several iterations behind is around 20 minutes.

I noticed and in a few other threads, you have an un-healthy obsession with me Festus. I am flattered, but trust me, tone it down before somebody(you) gets embarrassed. It's not my fault some people like myself can evaluate and make sense of things better than you. You get no apologies.

Well, thats not so much fun anymore. Stop stalking me on the forums festus and get a life. Same to the others that like that blatant troll post

6 hours on a 40 meg connection, when it takes me a few minutes on 70? I think someone needs to contact their ISP...

or at least make sure they are not getting ripped off from their ISP.

[Xetelian]

Have you tried it through Steam? So far it appears to be a little faster for me but I didn't have 6 hour long waits.

You know, since I'm always running run Steam anyway, I should probably use it for MWO... nah

The download is okayish.. but the patching process is abyssal (not as abyssal as the UI tho).

I don' t think and at least for me the patching has been any better or worse than other games I play. It may be that it's just relative to a person

[Clownwarlord]

While some may have issues with downloading and installing the monthly patch I have to admit I have not had any issues with the game client through steam when I moved over to steam for MWO use. Also I recently with the skill tree PTS' had installed the other client again to get the PTS access and I again have to admit it is a lot better than it was before. So much so that I do not see an issue with it at all other than client crash because of alt+tab to much.

Games, they are big complex programs now. gone are the days of everything being contained in several files.

They are now comlpex databases, graphics, special libraries, 3rd party libraries, underlying infrastructure, and garbedly gooky human readable xml, lua, python and god knows what else . not to mention my favorite. game files, within game files, within game files !!

Then you have the the actual game the developers made from all this.

so no we dont get simple patches anymore. because games are not simple anymore.

humans normally forget the amount of processes the network is already doing and at an incredibly fast rate. The speeds don't actually increase or decrease. We just develop better technologies to be able to make the movement of data more efficient.
