680 MB AWWWW WTF! Just give us a patching system already. Tired of downloading a complete game every time an update rolls out. Im happy 2.5 is out just mad at the size. If someone could set up a svn for the official so we don't have to download the whole damn thing it would be awesome.
Great release, my only issue is that the engi build thing seems to be f***ing up a bit more than normal - you know, when you try to place a turret and it shows you the ammobox with a turret going through it e.t.c as the bluegreenprint.
well lets see.... scout --> class switch in a rax --> buy a LT --> jump out --> realise the engi tool is fked. ow yea, i also spawned without weapons in another game, forgot about that.
uTorrent???? (i downloaded the client in less than 10 min while i was in Kazakhstan!) Also, the SVN was a 1.6 GB download.
Many, if not all, of the models were recompiled to fix the parenting/bone issue that was limiting servers to 10 tanks each. The patches aren't going to be much smaller
If you're going to FTP it, use SSH and wget the installer. Downloading the installer from another server is probably faster than you uploading it
Please update the download page on this site with the new link, honestly I couldn't figure out why I couldn't join servers until I got on the forums. I never get on the forums and I don't play very regularly. I'm sure others who come back to the game would enjoy having a simple link on the downloads page to get up-to-date versions.
Ah, the old website should probably be taken down (to prevent confusion). I'll talk to Kylegar about that.
In New Zealand, it's more like 1984 want their internet back. At the moment, Empires is d/l at 20kb/s.
