Having issues patching, is this just a huge patch and is going to take over an hour or is my client bugged? Seems to stay on "Updating data/zone.xsip". Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Patch for me 1.51Gb and slow approx 14Mb per 10 minutes

Lily
03-13-2011, 07:35 PM
It's a 1.5Gb file. Guess it will take however long it takes for you to download 1.5Gb?

Vandal
03-13-2011, 07:35 PM
I'm downloading the patch with no problem right now. Every once in a while, it will tell me which zone I'm updating and such.
I'm on TS, and some people are having issues downloading. I was the first one of my group to start the download and I haven't had any problem so far.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:36 PM
Ah alrighty, doesn't show me the size for some reason. Thanks for the information.

Xidian
03-13-2011, 07:39 PM
Yeah, I was going good for awhile was on 1137-1152 but then the patcher crashed so I had to restart, now stuck on Data\Zone.xsip

And now it crashed again. :(

Draakan
03-13-2011, 07:41 PM
Same here stuck on Data\Zone.xsip with no download size indicated.

lol the mods are out in force all of a sudden! awsome. well i'm glad we're going to be up and running again, despite the lack of options. my day is kinda slow today and ihave nothing better to do. docs appointment tommorow for my broken scaphoid in each writ though. fun stuff. maybe when i get back we'll get movin on this.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:44 PM
Mmmm, seems my client has stopped responding.

The patcher has been stuck on Data\Zone.xsip for quite a while now..... I'm getting worried :eek:

Seymore
03-13-2011, 07:44 PM
My question is does the patcher has an resume function. If your pacther crashed halfway through a patch, when you restart, does it pick up where you left off? or will it start from 0 again?

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:45 PM
well mine has just froze up it seems, gonna try to restart it.

Benny
03-13-2011, 07:46 PM
To those of you who are downloading it successfully! Is it showing the speed and size of the download or is it just saying "Updating Data/Zone"

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:48 PM
After the restart I'm back to updating data/zone.xsip with no indication of download size.

Seymore
03-13-2011, 07:49 PM
The patcher is definitely very informative.

Edit: Also, it's funny there is a patch but not a word of it in the announcement\update thread. Some basic info like size would be much appreciated... I am heading to bed in 30 min. Would be nice to know whether I should keep downloading or do it tomorrow.

download the new installer

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:54 PM
Does this new patch require a new installer? Or can you use what you have been using all day today?

Dirt
03-13-2011, 07:57 PM
i used the same installer and saw some progress, but taking awhile here.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 07:58 PM
I'm concerned about not being able to see the DL size. When I first installed the game it showed the patch size quite clearly.

sno_
03-13-2011, 07:59 PM
same...really think they need to update the patch notes on the installer screen...

Hazard
03-13-2011, 08:00 PM
Happening to me without any crash, thank God.

Dirt
03-13-2011, 08:00 PM

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:01 PM
I agree. So far I have crashed twice, never getting past updating data/zone.xsip.

Seymore
03-13-2011, 08:01 PM
While we are all downloading the patch, have you guys heard of Asdsdferia? If not you should really check it out at: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/514/view/forums/thread/309918/Xsyon-like-game-Asdsdferia-.html

What exactly is long Millsdo? how long did it take you?

Awesome, I just got a "Connection dropped" message.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:11 PM
One reason this may be happening might be many people trying to download the patch at once. But then again if that is the reason then this would prove a serious problem.

03-13-2011, 08:12 PM

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:14 PM
Ah a breakthrough, a new stage graces my screen. Data/zone pg.o somthing or another pretty long just changed back before i could type it out though.

NorCalGooey
03-13-2011, 08:14 PM
Patcher keeps (not responding)...and believe me it's not my computer. Haven't seen the progress out of 1.5gig yet but i've seen individual zone updates ... but now it's not responding.

IDK whether to hope it responds or restart it

Dirt
03-13-2011, 08:17 PM

Good Lord, I've got 60mbps down thanks to Charter Ultra60, and I'm still downloading after more than half an hour since the updater stopped responding and I had to restart it... and there was half an hour before that crash, too... it only took me forty minutes to download the 4.5gig Dragon Age II install from Steam...

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:18 PM
Well it has started to periodically show certain zones being updated. So I am hopeful it will continue after it has already stopped responding twice.

Locheart
03-13-2011, 08:19 PM
Alright, I've made a bit more progress this time. Nobody breath or move dammit!

wicked357
03-13-2011, 08:19 PM
Nah something has to be wrong I have got "Not Responding" three times already! My buddy has had it twice already. Something is wrong indeed, maybe a big patch, but it shouldn't stop responding because of it. I guess I don't see this game being ready in one more day, I hope they can resolve all the problems in one more day, I mean it took hours to fix the name exploit problem.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:22 PM
Still slowly crawling through zone changes here. they come up for maybe a minute or two then they vanish.

Seymore
03-13-2011, 08:23 PM
I don't think this game is ready for March 15.

But to be honest... I don't see what is the rush for the Dev to push this game to go live? I mean, we have all paid the $40 to beta the game anyway? He probably has gotten 80% of the money he can? I honestly doubt there is a boatload of people waiting at the line on March 15 to purchase this game. So why would he push for the March 15 date?

Investors don't often take to futher pushing back development sometimes, MMOG's cost millions each year in development, sometimes you just run out of time and have to release what you have.

Well if the game is truly struggling with issues then yeah it should have it's released delayed, but I think a lot of folks are wanting the game to launch, even those who pre-ordered and are from beta.

I don't see why people care if the game launched? We were playing the game as is a couple weeks ago isn't it? I mean, what will bedifferent after March 15 than a couple weeks ago? Probably nothing really?

I was also under the impresssion Notorious Games doesn't have investors/creditors, but I could be wrong.

Ollie
03-13-2011, 08:47 PM
sigh..... another crash..... even after all this time..... really thought it was making progress. It seems this patch is bigger than the game itself.....taking this long to download and actually crashing. If it is not there is a major problem.

wicked357
03-13-2011, 08:49 PM
So far it is working for the last 15 minutes no "Not Responding" either. What I am doing is browsing the internet, instead of having the window active and I am not even clicking it I am just letting it do it's thing, so far so good. Maybe it is coincidence or maybe not.

Very security conscious players will react to your torrent suggestion much as they would to the offer of a free USB stick loaded with Malware's Greatest Hits, the 2011 Early Edition.

(As opposed to the security aware crowd who know better than to do half the junk we do with our computers but still say eff it because we don't want to deal with the annoyances of truly keeping a system clean.)

wicked357
03-13-2011, 08:56 PM
Sure after I post that, "Not Responding" anymore. I have noticed that my network is still being used and browser is taking up CPU as well, so I wonder if it is still working...

Hanover
03-13-2011, 08:57 PM
Download is 1.20GB and will take roughly 3.5 Hours given its current bandwidth limits. A "patch" this size is entirely too large for the current patching solution.

Don't get me wrong, I'll use a torrent, but a lot of people won't. There are good reasons not to. It's just...it's so damn convenient! And probably my antivirus software (free version lol) can handle anything that tries to get through.

Actually, I take a scorched earth approach to malware, time consuming, harder on my hardware, but extremely simple. I do whatever I want to do within reason, and then every month or two (or whenever I get the sneaking suspicion that something sneaked in) I just wipe my entire hard drive and reinstall my operating system(s).

anyone know if the patcher crashed and you restart, do you start from Zone 1 or from the last patched zones?

Just curious, I assume the server farm Xsyon is on will charge a rate for network traffic? If everytime a player patcher crashed it start from 0, Notorious is going to have one hefty bill.

lalalala I am still downloading, in the meantime I have picked my daughter up from school, been to the bank to sort out some money, been shopping, prepared dinner which is now the oven and am currently looking at my homework which has to be handed in tomorrow, so I am kinda hoping that the download will take a little longer :D

Well for those who are still having issues the "european" server connection seems to net a faster download and less disconnects. It might be the client download is still coming off the old server.

Someone is throttling the US download server. Forget trying the other server since it's dl rate is in 15KB/s.:mad:

2 hours spent trying to patch original game that keeps crashing; So I deleted the game and tried to just reinstall using the newest loader - Epic fail.
The dl always stops at 169M when the server times out. Of course no data has been saved so the load restarts at zero.:mad:

My ethernet cable just came out and I restarted Xsyon and all the data was saved. Still only 400mb to go

We're in the same boat. Lets get oiled up and smuch our burly chests together!

Also occasionally it'll change to 'Updating Data\Zone.xsip\1162.png - Data\Zone.xsip\1212.something' So far I've gotten up to 1466 on the second number.
Edit: I take that back, just popped to D\Z\1510_surface.png - D\Z\181.xtr ... And it's back at just D\Z.xsip. Bah.

took ages to process all the files before it started downloading but when it started downloading maybe took me 45 mins for the 1.5gb file.. finally got in game for the server to be shut down lol

Downloaded like 200mb in about 2 hours.....

Im afraid now to abort it to try again to see if it gets faster after another try just in case it dies on me again!

At the transfer rates I'm getting from the patch server, it would take about 3 hours to download. But it seems to lose connection every 20 minutes or so. Cannot connect to the patch server now. How are we supposed to get such a large update from such an unreliable connection? :s

Close the window and retart it if it's giving you the can not connect message.

As I get discon, unknown errors, etc. I alternate between US and EU patch server. It sees the Xsyon.exe as "different" and redownloads the client. The zone.xsip seems part seems to resume normally, but there once again appears to be two different versions of the client executable. Anyone else noticing this?

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere

Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna download like it's 1999

This sucks ass. I was at 600Mb when I got disconnected. Now I have to start all over again. Fck that. Fix a gd torrent. How hard can that be. Ow if I press abort, because I really do not want to start all over again, the updater crashes.

Nothing.

Can we get an .exe patcher uploaded to filefront or something please? At leat they won't drop my connection randomly.

I've been trying to download myself since last night, drops my connection every 20 or so odd minutes. On a slightly brighter note I seem to be slowly saving said data, but I only get around .04 gigs per shot.

It won't happen straight away,.... but it will happen!

Man if I was in the US and had it downloaded it would be up on torrent site asap. Too bad im in Oz and suffer from quotas.

The patcher is so random, server is down for the US for me but not Euro.

Anyway im lucky and glad i got 3 days off from work finally and i can spend those 3 days downloading the patch. After my days i wont be able to play due to my work hours so....AWESOME!

Ps. Im in Australia - strangely enough this is the first patch that has caused me this much annoyance and trouble. Even last year the patches were quicker and easier to manage than this one here :/....

losing connection to US patch server immediately after 'connecting'

xenoclix
03-14-2011, 06:36 AM
At the current rate im going im getting ~120mb an hour...with the current leftover mb would be around 8 hours....

Now i COULD goto bed and let it download - but its not stable and i had a nap ealier today for about 4 hours and what it dropped on me.

Wish there was an AUTO connect so i could go off and do other stuff rather than stand around waiting for it to drop then reconnect manually.

If the patcher crashes it will restart from 0 or save it ?

Can one use the European server for patching, and then play in NA servers? (i.e. do they have 2 separate sets of files?)

Yes, because there is no euro server for the game. It's just the patcher, and it's the same thing.

i'm able to patch from the euro server but at what speed...i don;t know. the one time i saw numbers, it was DAMN slow. 1mb every minute or so. good thing i have my magic alprazolam pills to take care of impatience. i'll sit here and look at the pretty numbers go by...wheeeee! i still cant complain much.

Downloaded the patch like it's 1999.
Ran the game, it errors on zones 782, 783 and 784.
Xyson crashes after loading entities.
Cannot download the US patch because it's not available for work today.

All this because of some long names and adding more junk piles because we obviously can't have enough of those.
