DieAlteHexe Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Do you think right now one guy is getting hit over the head with a newspaper by his boss repeatedly? I had a boss who would jump up and down on Pepsi cans over stuff like this. Was hard to keep a straight face, knowing the dude was really angry but was hopping around his office jumping on soda cans.

xNear Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 So I suppose you will add 1 day more to my subscription? Why are people so entitled? Take the 15min and reinstall and patch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSublimitas Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Whenever I get an update or patch my game is ALWAYS corrupted and has to be repaired. I'm really glad the devs know what they're doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - logging in now is fine. We corrected the issue very quickly, and players who log in now will be unaffected.

Kthx Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Cool. So the "small number" this happened to are just SOL? Great customer service. I'm very glad I decided to re-up for 2 months a few days ago. FML. You are of course free to cancel, but the number of players affected is very small given that the incorrect patch release was up for ~15 minutes and many canceled the download when they got word to do so.

Rakunvar Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yep, bandwidth cap here as well. Such a pain in the rear to keep playing this game. None of my RL friends will play and just a handful of my WoW guild are still here. I can't imagine why they won't listen to my pleas to get them here.... Anyway, stopped the DL and am reinstalling from Disc, hoping that I will have less than 12Gb of patches between today and tomorrow (on top of the 900Mb I downloaded today).....GRRRRR Yea I am already over my cap and if this happened to me I would have been furious.. If you install from disk like they said you HAVE to patch from that disc version up to 1.1.5, so thats a decent chunk as well. ADVICE: COPY the 1.2 PATCHED directory somewhere, THEN reinstall. This way you will have the game ready for tomorrow as well. Just tomorrow run the Launcher from the 1.2 Directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkittles Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh yeah, forgot I have the PTS downloaded, at least I can play that. But I shouldn't load the launcher? So I can't play that either? Help Bioware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLapp Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 So just so I'm clear. I downloaded the 900mb patch and started the game. I restarted the launcher and an 11gb downloaded started, which I canceled. If I start up tomorrow I will just be able to download the remaining 1.2 data (shouldn't be a large download). I just want to make sure starting the 11gb download didn't mess up anything with my game so I can re-download everything tonight if I have to.

vawen Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why are people so entitled? Take the 15min and reinstall and patch up. I bough online edition so have no original CDs. Can't reinstall fresh and downloading 11Gb at 700Kbps doesn't take 15 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviron Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have the CD's but what about the people who do not. Since when is this kind of behavior in business acceptable? Honestly why are people so complacent. Bioware is a business they want our money. It should not be us begging to give our money to them but them asking us for it. Oh oops we made a mistake if you want to continue to play the service that YOU pay for from us you have to download 11gigs. Sorry but that is a load of crap.

elfeyhunde Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you started or completed the patch download, you have two options: If you want to continue playing today, you will need to restart your client and re-download the client If you want to wait until tomorrow and play when 1.2 is deployed to the servers, you can close your client and restart it tomorrow after the patch is deployed (approximately 8AM CDT). We apologize for the confusion, but only a very small number of players were affected by this unintentional change. Thank you for your understanding. Ugh... I don't have enough space on my partition to reinstall. I have today off and not tomorrow. Guess I'm doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordRichardEW Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) 1.2 is 11 gb:eek: it like downloading the game all over. Oh well my dad did say I was playing to much, the day and half it will take to download should make him happy lol . Guess I'll play the game a lot tonight and just wait until i get off work friday to play it again . Edited April 11, 2012 by LordRichardEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisdain Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 So... went to log into the game. Downloaded a 900 meg patch, figured it was prepatching for tomorrows update. And now.. obviously, it wants me to redownload the game basically. Are you serious Bioware? How do you mismanage a game this badly? I'm not one to hop onto the forums and rage, but this is just utterly unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
