I've just spent over two hours trying to download and install the newest RO patches. Each time, it takes around twenty minutes to download and unpack the first set of files. Then it tries to get the second set of files - and fails. No option to retry, only cancel or exit. If you exit and try again, it starts downloading the first set of files all over from the beginning.

This sucks. I can't even log into the game. I haven't played in several days, and I was itching to check out the new Comodo upgrade they've implemented, and now I can't access any of it at all.

To top it all off, I just realised I've missed Witchblade. I was all set to tape it, kept reminding myself all day, and then in my distraction I forgot. It's the first bloody episode of the series, and I missed it.

Did I say how much this sucks?

Make sure you have *plenty* (800Mb+) of free hard disc space on your RO partition before attempting the patch. RO needs to temporarily uncompress the data.grf file in order to patch it, and 800Mb is about how much space the temporary files take up.

I spent a *long* time trying to figure that problem out - for a game that's supposed to be fully localised an error message of "800@*@&#*&^!(*^(*^$@!^*garbagegarbagegarbage" is hardly expository ><

I was thinking that it might be a space issue, but I've got over 3GB free in that partition. It's a bit of a puzzler. I eventually managed to download the files - it spontaneously decided to work, and I don't know why. At least the problem's gone now.
