New Launcher Re-downloading whole client?

[Drakaiser]

Hi all,

Only started playing the other day and thoroughly enjoying so far however today I was prompted to download a new launcher. Clicked the button and downloaded the new launcher, extracted over the old one and thought all was good. Went to log-in to play and I now have roughly a 3.4gb download... now unless I am missing something it was just a new launcher, scans the old files and then downloads any if needed. Pretty sure it doesn't need the whole client again surely? :(

Same. Did not expect to download entire client and wonder if this is a bug.

Not a bug, the launcher changed, that is true, but there was an update to the game as well. The new UI is live.

Ahh right, I did see about the UI change but couldn't find any link between it and the launcher... Still the UI wouldn't be a whole game client download again though.

It would be in any software I ever wrote. :)

After a short download mine says app.info missing and I can't play : (

I'm currently downloading a new update after I patched the launcher and will let you all know if I have any issues. As a side note, I was not a player who tested out the UI so I never downloaded any extra patches while the UI was being tested. Not sure if that is the problem but its worth a mention incase something happens to my game.

I did not test out the UI patches mostly because my internet is slow where I live. We only get 15mbps. :/

Same as me. Slow internet, never tried new UI

It was slightly frustrating to have to do this on a Sunday. Slow internet connection too. I woke up looking forward to playing some PG during the day, but it took me over 8 hours to download the update.

On the other hand, with the computer tied up, I had to do some Christmas decorating. Which needed to be done. So my wife was happy :)

As much as I am loving this game currently, they seriously need to sort our their updates/update system. Two days since an update and I've now got another 1.3gb one to do just for 'fixes'... a third of the original game client.

They're modifying the client heavily right now.

It might be a point for them to break the files apart, but... Well, Alpha.
