Thomas Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 When the game is complete I would love to get it as a standard stand alone game. I refuse to load steam onto my PC to much bloat and wasted resources, and well Desura just kind of sucks. I wouldn't mind keeping an eye out and update manually as needed rather than have some other program run every time I want to play.(yes i know both have "offline" modes, but they still startup).

Desura is currently offering a standalone zip file download that only requires an account, but not the client. (Pretty much what this whole thread is about) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlogue Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Have you thought about removing them from your windows startup settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megathron Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 The Desura Client starts downloading, and after a few Megabytes it says : Remaining Time : unknown. So ive looked and Desura lods nothing at all, even after a restart of Desura the download does not resume... If i try to download the game with the link in the description "standalone" it says 404 not found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Desura is probably validating the new version and changing the links or something. Wait a while and they should work again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megathron Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Validating is since about an hour complete already I will try it tomorrow again. Edited February 11, 2013 by Megathron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megathron Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well im not "Megatron", i am Megat"H"ron ^^ It was a joke bro My nick is named after a EvE Online closerange blaster spaceship. But lets stop useless comments ^^ Im happy to know im playing this game in 18 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If we stopped the useless comments, the forum would be a much quieter place I like to think of them as the fuel that powers the useful posts. But then, I would say that It could have been worse, Gorlom could have mistyped your name. There's nothing worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I know the names are different that is why I said "similar". (In the new Transformers prime Megatron is named after a Prime called Megatronus. So that is why a slightly different name could still be after someone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoxic Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Not tried this for a while - last time was on Desura but want to avoid that now so am trying to download the standalone version. Is the Alpha download the same as the premium only download only ones free and one not (or am i only seeing the free downlad link because i have already purchased?) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Alpha and premium alpha are the same thing, but desura separates them for some reason I'm not entirely sure of. You see one as available to download because you are logged in and have bought it. If you logg out the page will want you to buy both versions.

skulder Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 How I am happy to know its will be standalone. Im so sick of steam and origin. Don't like the idea of running 3rd party software. Bought CSS, Isaac and others and had to download everything from piratebay anyways. Getting random steam errors drops me off the game. Slow load. Was checking news for some time now in here, but never saw this. Now, I'm of to checkout to do some shopping. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelandr Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Soo, I only just found /noticed this post, I've downloaded the premium alpha version 18 thru dasura already. do I need to download it standalone again to have the beta version? This has prob already been asked somewhere else and I will find it when I look in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelandr Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 @ Sathra Thankyou! I see its current version now. @ Russonc - Im not having any issues downloading the standalone version. Ive just downloaded it onto my laptop with out any issues. Do you normally have issues downloading big files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russonc Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 @Freelandr Not usually, I have issues with this game through the Desura update... But I am happy to say that 4th try was the charm (it gets closer each time I try it...) ... Thanks for asking (and I didn't have an issue in the past with the standalone version either...just thought I'd slog through the update to see what happened...) all good now..

Freelandr Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah I only used desura until i downloaded the standalone and then deleted it and copied the standalone onto the PC and then added the hotfix to it. I also found loading the game seemed to take longer in desura, it was fine once running, but startup seemed to take about 20% longer. plus dont have the Gb of cached files eating space on the hdd that I didnt need to.
