This morning I accidentally clicked on an exe launcher link and the client opened. I got the 'incompatible version' warning and realised my mistake after noticing it wanted to downloand a 6 meg patch.
When I closed it and opened the new launcher to allow the new-fangled patch process to complete - and it wanted to DL and patch 77 Meg,
I'd be very grateful is someone from CCP could provide some detail on the disparity of the sizes of the 'patches' ?
If 6Mb enough to get me into the game - why is the launcher wanting to pull down over 10 times the amount of data ?
Cheers I've done some really stupid **** in this game. |

Cheers You do realize that the 6 MB download is just the primer for the actual download, correct? That 77 MB download that you saw via the launcher is the actual patch being pulled and applied. |

In my experience, if you don't use the launcher to patch, you will end up downloading a 6 MB patch-downloader patch, which then downloads the full patch, which starts the launcher and downloads something else (the actual patch all over again?).
If you bypass the launcher for normal game logins, it's most efficient to still use the launcher for patching from the start since it'll end up running and patching anyway.
