5 Ozric Members 19 posts 4,528 battles Report post #4 Posted April 27, 2016 Yeesh! The whole process took maybe 20 min for me, and that's with the client compressing the data because I have no hard drive space. But I have 65Mb/s connection and an SSD.

1,373 [INTEL] CapnCappy Members 3,265 posts 6,618 battles Report post #8 Posted April 27, 2016 Geesh, it took me like 40 minutes just to delete the old folder so I could start the fresh download. Good job WarGaming with your 267,000 files. Here's hoping v5.5 has less files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
14 SHANE_DOGG Members 107 posts 1,619 battles Report post #9 Posted April 27, 2016 When I lived in the city and had cable connection it would have been 20 or 30 min and I would have done a fresh install. I moved back out into the rural areas where fiber wires don't run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wake up and the download didn't even start so I have had to start all over again This. I put mine to download this AM and went to work because it would take about 6 hours to finish. Now people are experiencing serious bugs. I would be totally bummed out if I get home later and find a bugged game and have to uninstall and start all over again. I think I would cry a little.

They make 1 post a year and never show back up and thats your fault not WarGaming.News flash to new forumers: They told you to do a fresh uninstall-install.Im 20 minutes in and at 50% installed There is a reason they dont make games for people with computers that are from the early 90s.

349 Cpt_Kill_Jack ∞ Alpha Tester 1,178 posts 4,895 battles Report post #19 Posted April 27, 2016 To be honest i feel sorry for those that uninstalled because I have fast internet and a fast computer. But It didnt take an hour or 2 to repackage the game like they said it would. It only took like 30 min. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #20 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Meh, I was told to simple update as normal and not re-install due to slow net speeds... Started the update at 10:30 am and its still going, though its almost done...I think... (downloaded 3GB worth of stuff, deleted a shite ton of old stuff, and is now downloading another 1GB of stuff, but its at 98% right now) Meh... stupid farmtown net speeds... NEVER MIND. As soon as I hit reply, it finished downloading and is ready to play! Whoo! X3 Edited April 27, 2016 by Kitsunelegend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

54 [VOP] derbuckeye Members 420 posts 4,790 battles Report post #24 Posted April 28, 2016 Great success! Laptop and isp kept working yesterday! Nothing blew up. Also, game appears to be working as advertised!!!! SWEET!!!! Now..... Some of us players live in fly-over country. Thanks to the telecom giants conspiracy, we don't have access to blazing fast internet. I'm lucky if I get 200kb/s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
