Title: TANGOing patch
Post by: Lucian on March 30, 2006, 05:57:54 PM
As usual, my WoW failed to patch properly required a full reinstall.  I'm currently downloading the patch, but 330mb to go, I'm probably gonna be late for the raid.

Patches, I hate them!

if it fails to patch you need to download everything between 1.0 and 1.10 = 330 odd megs

yep, but that dont work, if you load wow on a patch it does a pre patch (1.9 - 1.9.40 or something) and thats not in there will give some odd error (at least for me)

Lucian, have you contacted them at all, as this seems to happen to you EVERY time :(

In the interim I suggest that on patch days you log on and get the process going on the wednesday so you don't have to miss out on raids the following day.

btw, how is you're cousin doing? send her hugs from me :D

Im sure he wouldnt mind sending hugs as long as its that umbra :D

But you  them stored wont do any good, it'l mess up the MPQ files & the map files. :)

Cousin sends her love mate :)

Theres no point to be honest.  I reckon its something to do with my hard drive / DVD Writer combination.  Copying the info from either source to a given directory is a fairly haphazard move and has a high chance of failure.

Lucian, once you get your heavy 330 meg DL done, put it on your harddrive a safe place or on a CD/DVD, that one will at least make you able to update to 1.10 without DL'ing the stuff between. i call it Backup :P

copying data is or should be one of the most reliable functions on a computer system. Can't see why it would fail, downloading must go ok as the data gets verified, then it jsut patches, stuff should be ok unless for some reason it can't overwrite/data is corrupted.

I'd do an error check if i were you, and make sure your hdds aren't running in compatibility mode :o

if you have UDMA(66/100), make sure the system is set up to use it right.

gib cuz pics plx, o wai, I got one
