Hi,

I hope it is ok to post here.
So yesterday, after finally managing to download and install (upgrade) to patch version 0.5.1.2 I played the game for about and hour, everything seemed to work ok, I logged out via the log out button and logged out as normal.

Today, it seems to be trying to download and install patch version 0.5.1.3 and it is having massiv problems. It downloaded the 108MB and then patched it all, I launched the game , and it crashed at the ‘load char’ screen. After that it went through varying process of checking data integrity and finally repairing a corrupt .ini file.

After all this I am now actually in the game, but it seems to be having a very difficult time just patching and updating without errors.

I have a Windows 10 machine and GTX660 card, 8GB RAM and a separate SSD drive for games and Win 10.

I have recently patched other games without a problem and no other game crashes etc. If there is any information I can submit to help solve this problem please let me know!

The launcher is still very early in development and we are trying to work through these problems but it’s taking some time. Can you tell us which ini file it was the got corrupted and needed repairing and how you did that?

We appreciate you taking the time to help find and fix problems with us.
