Firstly I can't claim this effects the whole server but everyone I speak to has the same problem so if it's not a server problem it is wide spread. Since SoE has upgraded us to Launch Pad 4 the smart updating is not really working at all resulting in large downloads. A guildy told me a fix for this and I have actually tested it for the 1st time today and it works. So I start patching gu64.... with the setting "EU English" under the launcher... it wants to download a whopping 2gb... so select "US English" and it wants to download 181 Mb "Finished downloading 189,830,037 bytes in 691.436 seconds (274,544 bytes per second) Saved 1,961,031,130 bytes with delta patches" Then I switch to "EU English" .... 8 Mb download.... saving over a 1.8GB download This has been like this since Launch Pad 4 was forced upon us. (6 months ago or whenever it was)

Thank you for the response. Yes the problem is still occuring... 1 thing I would like to re-iterate this is not only effecting me.... Speaking to guildies / friends on Splitpaw out of about 20 people only 1 is claiming they are NOT seeing this Issue.
Just want to put my hand up and say that I get a significantly smaller download if I patch using "US English" rather than EU English ... along with 30 other people in my guild who are spread all over the world on various hardware. The only common denominator I can think of for everyone is the launchpad ...
paulrichie wrote: Paul, I'd recommend having your guildmates submit support tickets about the issue. The more data we can gather, the easier we will be able to come up with a solution. Perhaps there is a correlation to everyone with this problem. Perhaps not. But we will know for sure once everyone starts submitting those tickets!
Ok will try and get them to do that, I assume you want a /bug ? Just for you info today's patch: EU English: 770Mb US English: 44Mb Also switching from US English to EU English was 36Mb any chance someone can check that these files should be different on US / EU patchers? Replacing paks/Snd_MCP.vpk Replacing paks/ZDDS18.vpk Replacing paks/mod01_dun_tombs_of_night_SG.vpk Replacing paks/OP3englishVoiceOver38.vpk
