Oh yea, go figure, they put up I7 on 06/06/06.
Oddly enough, I'm looking more forward to what the Penguin Mafia and the crazy crashed moon are up to in KoL, than CoX's I7.
Or perhaps not so oddly, because I know just how cruddy my CoX updater downloads. It's ridiculous.
I thought I'd shortcut the process by copying my CoH Test piggs folder to the live folder. Stupidly, I didn't make a backup. So I really thought I'd fried something good when the updater did its usual long checksum, connected and then got seriously stuck at "Downloading File Manifest."
After some desperate searching, I decided to just leave it on the entire day, and it actually manage to get past the manifest (it might have just been a uber slow download at like 300 bytes/second or less) and get into downloading 5MB of 53 MB file fixing. At which point it jammed and refused to continue. AS USUAL.
CoH Test isn't much better. It's giving me smaller file sizes, but getting jammed about 3 MB into the process. I just don't understand this crap. There must be a router somewhere between here and the CoX servers that is just FRYING the 6889 port or whatever it's using because it thinks I am like an uber bittorrent abuser or something.
I can't decide whether to update Test first or go for the agonizingly long download...If Test manages to update all, I think I'll do another pigg recopy and try Live again.
I may end up just screwing it all up even further, and then have 2 gigs to download. :P
Stupid CoX updater. How can such a nice game have such an abyssal quality stone-age antique downloader...

I have I7 on disk...but I can't play it. This is worse than any of the other issues. I'm rubberbanding, lagging, and crashing so badly I can barely even move the moment I log on.
Apparently everyone is suffering. You're not missing much;P
It's probably not optimized for low and mid-end systems at all yet. I know my system was dying in Grandville on Test.
Sadly, when I looked at the Sim Lim Square price lists these days, my Radeon 9600 Pro barely shows up as a blip. It's all some more high end PCI-E card now with lots of Xs and GTs and Ultras in their names. Must upgrade someday, but I gotta go get a laptop first.
Perhaps graphics card upgrade during Sitex '06 at the end of the year... :(
7.2MB and 5.7 MB of patches finally downloaded after 24 hours...fixing my TEST server up.
Did a pigg copyover to the Live folder, and when I left for work this morn, it was still stuck trying to connect for the #5 time.
Wonder if I'll go home today and see it trying to connect for the #698134 time...
