Patcher: No checking

[Pottsy]

Only just ran the full patcher.

Opened it again and it still wants to download 2454 files lol. Can you change it so it checks existing files and only changes ones that have changed? Highly annoying if i'm patching for your updates

 

[FTM]

ive just ran patch worked fine needed 5 files only

 

[Maverick]

i have to re-download the whole game every patch. have had the problem since the start. they tried a few things when i reported it but nothing seemed to work. maybe now that im not the only one more fixes will be tried.

[PRIMO]

probably is but the patcher is in the client folder yes?

 

[aqszyou]

Where to download lol?

 

[thedeath]

figured i'd mention this but:
when the patcher fails to check file versions, it doesnt just download the entire client.
it downloads each file, try's to extract it (fails), deletes the download.
when it's downloading the entire client it's not actualy patching your files (only adds new files, doesnt replace old ones).

my guess would be it's either using the wrong timezone for the file version check or it's having issues with virus scanners or dunno

Doesn't check your time so shouldn't matter, it confirms the date of the lib against the repository... Both of which shouldn't be influenced by your time zone...

I don't imagine it's caused by virus checkers etc either, otherwise it certainly wouldn't let you delete files.

People that are seeing this issue, can you open "patcher.ini" and change the "DELPROMPT" value to true... This will prompt you before cleaning the dir... Then see of there is a error.log file in the logger dir... If there is paste the contents please.

[GetUserCount]: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 94.1.11.133:3000

I get this all the time I start it.

It's most likely a connection problem for some reason, stop any kind of "checking" with existing files

Yeah, this wouldn't cause the patcher to rerun, it works on a separate thread...

So, every time you run the patcher, (even with files there) it try's to download all files again? Or it deletes directory and then redownloads?

[Koriban]

This used to happen to me, but for some strange reason it's fixed itself. Used to just download the full client again, didn't delete the directory/re download and would also give the same error msg.

Doesn't seem to delete anything....but more like overwrites lol. If I let it download it was overwrite my existing files, so nothing disappears...but if i have to patch in the future i'll have to do the whole thing just to make sure I have 1 extra file for example lol

Can you conform your mod/creation dates on patcher.exe? As this was something I thought I had fixed.

Also getting same error '' oops something went wrong'' and i cant patch without it trying to download EVERYTHING again. Nemo had to send me exe so i can play but missing alot of updates.

heres my file dates:


Also getting this error in my debug:

 

[thedeath]

the !debug file is from client not patcher
patchers errors are in 'logger' folder

Just ran patcher to update to 0.0.7 it came up with 0/0 files and deleted the Mir.exe, all the data files and map files etc. Ran patcher again and now wants to download all 2438 files but seems to be stuck on file 2 Data-AniTiles1.wzl.zip.

Downloaded the Patcher again version 29/12/2013 21:21 688Kb.

Now get the same error as the others:
[GetUserCount]:System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 94.1.11.133:3000

[FTM]

looking at this only difference no plist or patcher folder in my client and seems to work fine for me

This error is caused by a different issue... This is because your firewall doesn't allow incoming messages from port 3000 (what the server is trying to respond on)... I have potential work around for this, and that is to host a web page that is basically a middle man for gate status (will use port 80 then which is generally forwarded by default).

Just opening my port should solve the issue then?
