Hey guys
I played in beta aight, and downloaded the 7 day trial yesterday coz I wanted to have another go at PlanetSide before I consider buying it. I've spent the first day of my trial attempting to PATCH PlanetSide.
Im on 512kb DSL and the download speed is pathetic. Sometimes it will download for a bit, then stop entirely for about an hour, causing me to restart the program in an attempt to spark the download again. Sometimes I start it up and it just sits there doing nothing, but even when it does finally download something, it does it incredibly slow.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
I live in Australia, and while that could be a factor. I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever patching back in beta, and judging by the official chatrooms, the game may have been
more popular back then, meaning server load probably isn't the problem. I pinged the IPs I found in the client.ini and got 200 ping to them.
Heeeeeeeelp.
