Resources being re-updated over and over.

[Miraculix]

Okey this problem is REALLY getting on my nerves now.

I run the game in WinXP, SP2. Now this is the weird thing: I *don't* get this problem on my laptop, only on my desktop pc. On my laptop, I had checked "Update all resources at once". It took a lot of time the first time i logged in, as expected, and never updated anything since then. On my desktop (same settings for resources) though, EVERY time I log in, the resources are getting updated. I unchecked the "update at once" option, and it downloads the resources as needed in game, EVERY TIME i log in. I deleted the LiveServer folder, SAME THING. Maybe I should re-install, but I thought I'd post this first before re-installing and having to re-download 300MB or whatever it is that is needed.

Just so you know the entire game (download all resources at once) is almost 800MB. It would be better if you could copy the files from your other computer to reduce the load on the regnum server.

This been happening to 2 clan member of mines also, they have no idea why its happening, it never happened to them before.

Okey, uninstallation and re-installation seems to have fixed this, for now at least. Bare in mind, it takes a LOT of time to re-download all the resources from a clean install. It's still faster though than waiting to dload them in game EVERY time you log in.

unless there was a content update today, the problem is back. It only worked for 1 login attempt as it seems.

okey im seriously desperate for a solution here, please.

EDIT: here's the log from this login attempt:

Now it's loading 3776 resources. Takes about half an hour each time, or maybe more? Couldnt really keep track there, as i usually go and do other stuff while it loads.

One of the recent 2 updates seems to have fixed this, I didn't play on my desktop pc due to that bug for quite some time. Thank you NGD
