I already searched the Technical Center and the only mention about this feature is the ability to save patches, and how to import them to other installations, but there's no mention on how to stop the automatic process. With Download On Demand, there are two types of data that you have to update with a given patch. One of them is the data in Shared Resources. The way that the Shared Resources folder works is that all data is downloaded only once, ever. All your installations share the same Shared Resources folder, and a second install will never re-download a file that's already there unless it needs a different version of that file, say, because one install is TQ and the other is for Singularity. Shared Resources files are usually very large compared to the size of binaries. The second type of data are executables such as the launcher and the core EVE client. These files are pretty small. For these files, I'd expect that if the features to save patches and apply them to other installations are in the launcher, they should work in such a way that you can reapply the patch manually. If that's not working as you'd expect, please file a bug report and we'll look into it. I'll be sure to bring this thread to the attention of the team that is working on Download On Demand in the morning, to see if there's anything we can do to ensure that you're not re-downloading patches to binaries, or at least clarify the design intent.

CCP Darwin C C P C C P Alliance 1289	Posted - 2015.03.27 11:58:14 - [2] - Quote Following up: I spoke with the team working on Download On Demand to pass along feedback related to manually applying patches and to lagginess when resources load. Specifically in relation to stalls on resource loading, they're aware of the issues people have reported and have a couple changes in the works that may help. If you're experiencing that particular issue, I would wait a week or so, and if you don't see much improvement after that point, please submit a bug report.
