Patching Speeds, Patch 0.11.4b and Race Season 4
" You'll see when it's announced. It's pretty different and designed to be easy to design, if you see what I mean. It's not the signature race for the season. We are actually working on a proper sequel to Descent that we're expecting will occur in Season 5 (which coincides with the release of the game). It has a lot more time scheduled for polish and balancing because we're starting really far in advance. | |

Hopefully descent on a budget puts the rng on a budget too.
Having a giant diceroll as last seasons signature race was brutal. IGN: KoTao Last edited by KoTao#4717 on Aug 22, 2013, 1:24:17 AM

" Kinda irrational fear, this technology is mature enough and many game developing companies are using torrents to deploy their patches. Fox example World of Tanks. It's far more popular game with several millions of active players and non-bugfix patches are usually 500 MB. You need to be Google or Amazon to deploy such patches to that amount of players if you want to just use direct download method. They just integrated torrent client into their launcher, every one and his dog is downloading at maximum speed, problem solved. IGN: Zarbis, ArcIsBad

" For a patch of this magnitude you should have notified them in advance what kind of traffic they would getting. Maybe you did tell them and maybe they just didn't believe you. If that is the case hopefully now they will take you seriously. |
|
" I'll certainly hammer the point home harder in the future. We've deployed larger patches before without any hiccups, so part of it was blamed on an unexpected issue on their end that only manifested with the spike of load. Either way, it's an experience I do not plan to repeat! | |
|
Great job as usual beside the long download time on patch. Is the patch downloading speed much faster in the Europe? Tunneling through Europe seems to improve the downloading speed greatly.

Can't wait for the race season. I haven't ever really gotten into racing so this should be interesting!

hey im having issues downloading the 0.11.4b patch after downloading the bigger patch yesterday via uTorrent.
keep getting error message when it goes to Checking Resources and says "unable to get write access to file Content.ggpk. You might have another copy of the game already running or the game may be in a read only directory". I followed the torrent patch instructions (i downloaded the 3.77gb one advertised on the forums) and have had no issue until just now upon release of the new smaller patch... Anyone else having this issue/know how to solve it? Thanks in advance |
