How about a standalone 1.5?

[Messremb]

Hey, guys.
Don't think I don't love your hard work at this mod, but how about when Eriador will be properly reworked, you do the fanclub a HUGE present and lose the extra rubbish from the previous versions, don't add any useless chaff like Balrogs and pack it nice and useful in a single exe.
Like I said- huge fan, but 'till then I won't bother with this mod again. Just some constructive criticism to draw attention to the parts that ruins it for many- how many failed installs can happen with 4 patches?

[Irish99]

I for one have never had a failed install on any of them

me too !

Why don't you ask for patch 1.4b (1.3&1.4 plus bugfix) , that make more sense (1.0 +1.1+1.2+1.4b)
three weeks since 1.4 release and talk about 1.5 , it too much ...

[el Cid]

If you would pack everything together in one dl it would be 2.0 imo .

[Dava2710]

well I also think you could do just 1 instaler... It shouldn't be that huge right?

[HarneY]

I dont know how hard it is to pack it all together but i think we should give them a break seeing as 1.4 just came out

But i think seeing the changes from 1.0 is huge they should only release a 1.5 when eriador is reworked because the remaking of Arnor idea is pure genious.
Then they should pack in some bug fixes(personally the only ones I've noticed are Faramir no weapon and Imrahil portrait both with fixes avaliable)
Then smack it all in a big 1 exe and call it 2.0 because it reflects the changes better than 1.5 because they are significant

I see a lot of people (mostly new folks) struggling with the different TATW patches. The reason for this, is that they probably need to download everything from the get go. Personally I don't see what's that hard about clicking four times on an installer and just pointing it to the right folder destination. If this is what people prevents from playing TATW, then I call this a very very sad situation.....

Good luck finding someone to upload a 3-4gig file, not to mention if your download is corrupted you need to download it all over again. Too many downsides just to save yourself 4 mouseclicks.

[optimuslouis]

Yeah i think give the guys a break. And thanks again to them for this mod. the amount of work in there is huge, especially since it was UNPAID.

how many failed installs can happen with 4 patches?

Anywhere from 0 to 4 I'm guessing though I've never had install problems. Some commercial games have way more patches than that and tatw's install just like any other peace of software. There is very little room for error unless you count the human one.

Most people would also rather download a 300mb patch than 3+ gigs of the entire mod.

[HolyDevil]

i think its perfect as it is now...

as mentioned, i would rather download a 500 mb patch then the whole client all over again, only to find out its corrupted or w/e

and this mods patches are huge in size, its a lot of work, the last thing they would need is one more in their heads, leave it as it is... maybe once this mod reaches 2.0 they could split it again in 1-2 installers, but until then its perfect the way it is

Actually the entire mod is (Compresses, rar, max) 2.8 GB

I guess because most patches override already existing files. If you add one line to a text file you still had to upload it because otherwise nothing would change. Therefor a full version would take less time to download then a 1.0 + 1.1 + 1.2 + 1.3 +1.4 version (if you have no TATW already)
But most of you already know I think so why am I writing this

By half a minute. At least now there's two people saying the same thing.

[BlackViper]

I think more agree but its still big and I prefer patches because I have an 1.4 version right now

For version 2.0 a big version will be needed because otherwise newcomers had to download like 7 days

Company of heroes has like 10 patches to download with different download managers its a freaking pain in the ass and I know how it feels to be downloading things for over a day. (someone here ever tried to download the whole series of band of brothers?(legal) Its like 20 gb or more xD)

But hey its a bit to early to talk about patch 1.5 xD

[Maverock]

I've had some corrupted downloads with the downloading of the patches, this would indeed probably lower down if it goes out from 1 single file (2.0).

[Seleukos_I.]

How told you that 1.5 will contain reworked Eriador?

[Messremb]

By the blazes of hell, people! It won't be 2GB. From patch to patch have been things changed, reworked, modified etc, THE SAME THINGS. When you put only the final version of a thing and not the whole kebab.... do the math.

good idea, but like I said several times before, my problem is that I don't have an installer that can pack files of about 3 gb.
So, if someone knows an installer which can do that (and which I am able to understand ) then let me know, please.

We understand that it might be a lot of work, unfeasible and whatnot, all we ask is that you guys try. If it's not possible- no problem, we understand and the least we can do is be quiet and enjoy your work just as it is. You already took a lot of time from your lives to make this happen.
