client updating


Father Xmas

 

Posted

i just logged out from the game, and the updater started on its own, and is downloading 672M worth of files.
Where can i find info, on whats being updated?

edit: i quit the download, then logged back in, then quit the game again, and the updater came back up and is continuing to download.
im searching everywhere on the forums and official site for info on this.

I have no doubt they are downloading GR stuff. This way you wont have to download it all at once. This is normal before a big update, even if you are not getting Gr you will still download it. This way If/when you get GR you will be able to access it after buying it.

It's the art assists for GR/I18. Since this is the first time for you, assuming you joined the forum when you joined the game, this is done before every Issue release so when the issue goes live, there's a much smaller 2nd patch with the most up to date bug fixes.

So when the game goes live the game will patch itself twice with a smaller patch downloaded in between.

It's not just for when/if you buy Going Rogue.

To keep things simpler, the client isn't "modular" like EQ 1's where you could avoid downloading zones you do not have access to. In addition, there will be enough stuff from GR that you will be able to interact with/witness in the non-GR zones (powersets, for example) that you need the GR stuff anyway.
