1.36 gigs is a lot to take in all at once, even on a high speed connection it can take a while to download.
What exactly is this new gigantic download? Is it active or passive content that will be dormant until the new update in December?
I know you have a lot of content to push out for the new version coming in December but can you try to limit the size to 300 megs or offer a way to download content on demand / in chunks? I have no need for Titans or dreads models / textures right away, I will NEVER see one in highsec on TQ.
Also, I just want to point out that I already downloaded this from Singularity.... whatever it is. How about checking against that to make sure I'm not downloading the same thing for TQ....
I wish there was a checksum to compare downloads from singularity and TQ so we dont have to download content twice..... |

For what it is worth, I maintain a torrent to help those with poor connections.
EVE Online Windows Installer via BitTorrent
When I was between moves, I played EVE tethered to my mobile phone with a 1 GiB/month data plan. Game-play is fine, but I had to download every update via another connection.
When playing on SiSi, you can copy your main EVE folder to start, but SiSi is a test center, so it will get stuff that doesn't make it to TQ. |

1.36GB is not very large for a game IMO.
Have you seen console games lately...I downloaded the demo of dragon Age Inuisition and its around 50 Gigabyte.
for a 6 hours demo
Also sunset overdrive (was free on xbox live on saturday for 24 hours)...22 Gigabyte if I remember correctly.
Time to upgrade that old smokesignal-modem ;)

They changed all textures from old pgs system (where you had "colored" diffuse texture, normal map, and pgs texture with specular map, mask,submask and lights) to the new one with "bleached" diffuse (ambient?) texture, and new pgr texture with reflection map (I guess) instead of specular map. Also each texture have medium and low versions and those also were updated. |

You left the most important part, the part you can derive context and meaning from, out of my post, what the hell?!

There's a difference between a complete game (or a complete demo) and a patch though.

I have downloaded the new SISI updates and in my view I wouldn't care if it was 10 times bigger. These improvements to the visuals are worth it. Thanks CCP for the great eye candy and the new content.

Nope.
I invite anyone, including CCP, to verify my torrent against the offline-installer.
Actually it would be a lot easier if CCP just made a torrent available to begin with, and made the launcher & repair.exe more robust, and friendly to incomplete transfers. |

I'm not really someone who needs to have the best graphics available, but the new PBR looks great.
I'm actually pretty excited for more DirectX11 features, high resolution textures, PhysX, tessellation... all that cool looking stuff.
EVE is going to become an ever better looking game. |

I like to check:
http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php
Noting when the server version changes; that means there is a new release. It also shows you what that release version number is.
I try to update my torrent thread the following day. Subscribe to receive notifications of my updates.
If memory serves (can't check at the moment), the release version also shows at the top-left of the character selection screen. |
