IceVamp Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Might be prohibitly expensive to pay for the bandwith. They take a dim view of such uses for free accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Might be prohibitly expensive to pay for the bandwith. They take a dim view of such uses for free accounts. Both dropbox and google drive, have 5gig storage FREE, and they don't give a darn how you use it. That's plenty for a few hotfix files. We then simply drop them into our game folders, job done.

tass Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hello folks, I have a binary patch that will take you from V16 to V16.1 , and is only 45MB in size!. This is for Windows ONLY and is 100% not official or supported, but with those caveats Chris has no objections to my sharing. I have used this for my own system, both at home and at work (: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/px48nnlmrcqzzaj/0X8yhxdxvL Grab the V16_to_V161.exe binary , doubleclick and follow the prompts. There are MD5 checksums there as well for the paranoid. Hopefully this works for Windows folks, but i'll try to help as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Moonie - Dropbox very much give a damn how you use it, unfortunately. I had my (Premium) account suspended for using it for public downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Also, give Tass's thing a test if you get a chance. It's a potential solution for faster updates for you forumites, even if we get the Desura stuff sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my (Premium) account suspended for using it for public downloads. Holy cow, I thought that was the whole point of dropbox, so that you could share your files with the public. How about google drive, I use that and it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can now be the official hot-fix distributor, Chis will pay you £500 for every download. Edited October 19, 2012 by Moonie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElTee Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Where do you actually download a standalone of the latest version? I uninstalled, tried reinstalling and got some MCF error.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tass Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The desura site has the standalone when you go the game page.. http://www.desura.com/games/xenonauts Look on the right side bar, about where comments begin Right now is the massive 2G standalone for 16.1 .. If you happened to have the v16 zip my patch would update that for you.. It should also work if you have the V16 Desura install as well.. should.. but not 100% certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korval Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I used Desura to install v16 this morning and your patch/update dealie worked fine. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think we're going to trial Tass' magic machine with an update to fix the bloody crash bug for vaulting over fences. Let's hope it doesn't take too long to generate the patch, it's 7.30pm on a Friday night and I want to go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 It hasn't worked (it made a patch with the entire 1.9gb of game assets in it). I'll try it again at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tass Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sounds like you have one of the directories a level to high.. if you send me the UTS file I can try and troubleshoot for you.. you have my info It takes a few tries to get the hang of but then works well...

Moonie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Your the man tass. Never has Xenonauts been so painlessly updated. Here's hoping that Chris can get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 It used to be updated just via a zip file back in the day (prior to the Paypal Incident). I think only Gauddlike and Gazz from the forum regulars remember that though. Wow, crazy that was only a year ago. Times have changed a lot since then...

Gribbstar Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 So I just verified my Desura install and launcher now states v16 12 OCT. Is that in preparation for the patch exe? Just checking I'm good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tass Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If it is V16, then you can use my patch to get to V16.1 at least..
