I used to play PS about a year ago...Back then I had 42 kb/s and I had no problem downloading patches

Now a year later I install PS again (yeah I'm coming back) and I start downloading the patches....12 hours o_O... ok, np, but after 12 hours I click "Play" and it gives me some error with planetside.exe. I restart the patcher and it starts downloading the SAME files...WTF? I already have those same files in the PS folder, anybody else had this problem? How do I fix this?

usually if it says 12 hours, it doesn't really mean it. I would just try it again.

I tried it about a dozen times...same thing, not change. It keeps downloading the same files

I checked the planetsideupdate.txt file in the PS directory, there are some errors with some files I think

These are the only files that are wrong version/size etc. but it doesn't download THEM it downloads everything from the begining :( And now when I start downloading them sometimes the download crashes...so I can't really trust it if I leave it one night to download, it might stop right when I turn off the monitor :(

Can you post like a suggestion on the official forums that they make the patches available to download from the official site? (Can't log on the forums, got some problems with it)

When I click play I get this:

I did full scans, reupdate etc. nothing helps...I even reinstalled the game
