Every time I start the client patcher, it has me download a 348MB file on the 4/4 step, but it always “goes past” 348MB.
As of posting this, it’s currently at 1.5GB/348MB.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times. I’ve run everything in compatibility mode and as admin. Nothing fixes it.
The only way I am able to play is if I get lucky sometimes (probably 1/10 times) and it finally stops downloading sometime after the 348MB it says it needs to download.
(I’m actually trying to play TSW, but I couldn’t find a forum for that so I’m posting here)
Just hit esc when it passes 348, and relaunch. Its known feature. I just repaired my game data few days a go and similar hit me, but esc → relaunch few times fixed it.
I just spent 15 minutes redownloading an unneeded patch and gave up after it didn’t work on the 13th try.
I know things don’t need to be instantaneous and I’m willing to put in a little work to play an older game like this, but it’s basically unplayable right now for me until this is fixed
I’m assuming Steam? The Steam client likes to do this a lot. Steam integration is just really poorly implemented. But this also ends up often being a privileges issue. Windows likes to stomp on changes the patcher makes. Turning off Windows security while the patcher runs and running the patcher as Admin can sometimes help.
