BrintoSFJ Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Read the article here : See i have got a pretty slow connection and considering how thousands of players will try to download patch tomorrow it will be even slower. the method described in the above post suits my connection better as i can start download right now. But if someone from swtor team can confirm if those files are the final update files then it would be really a life saver for me. Thanks in advance.

znihilist Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It is prudent to wait, but I can tell you this method works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjonxb Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) It is prudent to wait, but I can tell you this method works. The method works but he is asking if it is actually final or not. Do we know for sure that if someone does this. But they patch it between now and the release tomorrow morning that the launcher will be able to download the additional patch correctly.

BuriDogshin Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Here in my household, we have six machines (for three users, each having a desktop and a laptop with SWTOR) that will need to be updated. If there was a way to download the patch to a network share or USB fob and then patch all six machines from the one download, it would be mutually beneficial for all involved. BioWare, please, is there a way to do this ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if more people will be downloading the patch it even maybe better in some cases, cause as far as I know P2P is enabled in SWTOR Launcher.

BrintoSFJ Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 The method works but he is asking if it is actually final or not. Do we know for sure that if someone does this. But they patch it between now and the release tomorrow morning that the launcher will be able to download the additional patch correctly. swtor_potato wrote that there is a possibility on patch day patches will be available only with 2 files, in that case those 4 files we would download from the link may not be usable and even if they would be usable after patching they might totally mess up entire installation and we won't be able to further update the game. That is why i was asking for confirmation from the team if these files are the final patch data or if they will be modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, because for a second I didn't know if I was a community manager/DEV or not! Edited December 1, 2014 by znihilist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on which launcher doesn't it? 3GB isn't much, and i'm patient enough to do it properly and not take any risks from other sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
