Hefty Downloads

[the1nonlyjim]

I personally love Project Reality ... but i hate re-downloading the client as i have a limited amount of bandwidth i can use each month ??:

Is there anyway that the next version of PR could be a patch rather than a full client ?

I have downloaded the core client , and am going to download the levels soon .... or should i wait for PR 0.85 ?

Thanks

Can u also take the maps out of previous downloads and install them into the new versions ?

-0.85 is a patch. If it's too difficult to dl the mod you could try getting some other forum members from the site to mail you a copy, shouldn't be too hard in the UK.

Hardly think 0.85 will be incremental patch, it brings alot of new content, and will be more like a new version then a version-fix.
The size of the download will only continiue to grow..

Do you think i should wait for the new PR to come out ? Or just finish downloading the levels for now ?
Thanks for the replies

Set it to download at nights and other times no-one is using the computer/bandwith.
I see no reason not to, even if it goes slow..

As bjoffe said, 0.85 will only be released as a full version.

His problem is he has a limited amount that he can use in a month, not that its simply slow


.85 is bringing a LOT of new stuff to PR so even though its .85 its going to probably be big.

From what I remember, most times, patches result in little problems, theyre difficult to deal with[from a DEV perspective] and I think its just simply easier to make it a whole new download.

As mentioned though, Im sure you could find someone willing to mail you a DVD or something Or go to a local library and take a thumbdrive and download it there


And as for maps, youll have to update them each release because changes are ALWAYS being made to them, whether physically or through code[vehicles, CPs, etc]

Yeah im only allowed 20Gb a month , which is ok except tht i have other family members who enjoy watching youtube videos a little too much

But at the start of the new year im going to download the levels Because the bandwidth gets reset ... dnt know if they wud let you download the game at a library you are only allowed about 15 minutes lol

anyway thanks
Im gonna wait it out until the 1st of january lol , then when i download it 0.85 will probbaly be released son after tht .. then ill have it download it again
But it looks good cant wait for the Ruskis !!

Have 20gb aswell, same problem sometimes, just make sure to back up the files you do download, saves re-downloading them

[the1nonlyjim]

lol screw it im gonna download it now .. i think its only 58pence per Gb , if u go over lol

How about the torrents?

Simply download when you have some spare bandwidth, pause when you don't and re-continue when you do.
