Same here, we are a group of five people from germany and we play every tuesday at the same time. But the download of a new patch takes for two or three of us ages and the other guys get it fast. It's a very strange behaviour we have here erevy time when a patch comes out. The guys with the slow download vary from patch to patch...

I'm in NA. Same issue. It took an hour for the new patch to download the other day.

no same issue with downlord. maybe it isn't as slow but slower than what I'm used to.

Yes, FAF updates--patches. Not client updates.

Using the legacy python client.

Downlords seems fine.

so the FAF server is the issue. we're having issues getting the FA patch.

Just to make this clear:
- New client releases are downloaded from Github. How fast they are depends on the mood of Github, which changes a lot.
- Game files, mods, maps, replays are downloaded from an entirely separate place, which is the FAF server.

Where did you download it from? The releases page? That's related to github then.

And what the hell is this? I feel like I'm back in school horrifying my mother with the dial-up phone bill.

Yeah, I like retro nostalgia but I prefer V90 to refer to bike engines, not download speeds.

Is there a way to manually download these precompiled updates? The individual .lua files? I go to github and I can only get the source code, but it downloads 1000x faster than through the client.

It's a shame the game can't hold more than 1 version at a time. For example, if it kept the current version plus the two most recent versions, it would be easy to watch recent replays.

Used to be updates were fast, but now if you live in North America, the updates can take a half an hour or more. Accidentally watch an old replay? A HOUR because you download old update then new update to go back.

What's going on?

edit: FYI this issue occurs using the python client.
