Repair.exe currently downloads 110 MByte, at 900KByte/sec.


The Patcher got stuck at "applying patch" and my HDD kept wrestling for no reason.
(really early, almost at the beginning)

I've stopped it using the taskmanager and ran repair.exe after the client told me he's feeling bad about himself.


........ almost done downloading ................................................ Applying patch ..................................
......................................... Complete.


Starting the client.


Now i have to accept the EULA again.



Works, thanks ! o/


PS: Why don't you simply use repair.exe for any kind of updating, instead of relying on [whatever you're doing now] ?

When it was installing the patch, it took ages applying and the hard drive was going like mad.

I went back to it later, and it had finished.

Okay?

It took way too long for my taste and my HDD made me nervous already...

That said, i really need to defrag.
