[QUOTE="Lily Inverse, post: 257847, member: 4594"] It IS true when you don't have any patches applied. I was referring mainly to modem users who waited a few weeks to get the game. This situation will only get worse as time goes on, too. Nope. It said, and I wish I'd saved the actual transcript, "45.042 MB to download" Well, yes. But even if you're right on the size now, it's only going to get nastier and nastier. In a few months I don't think the game will be even remotely patchable by modem users using YOUR figures. Like I said, putting the patches in an easily accessible location on the web site would satisfy me on this point. I downloaded the monster file above four times via the patcher, and each time it was corrupt. I went to get it in the two pieces and applied the patch, and it went smoothly. After this, [b]I[/b] will not have any further troubles. It's the late adopters who worry me. Infogrames is ticking me off about a lot of points like this, actually. I know I've got an issue not covered by their "automated support" but for some reason I need to waste twenty minutes in long-distance phone calls (not cheap) to get to talk to a real, live person when I know the issue is going to take quite a long time to solve just by talking with them. This is just bad Customer Service. [/QUOTE]
