Download Problems

Unread postby RedZombie » 26 Jan 11, 8:02 am

Thought I'd give LOTRO a go as a bit of casual fun; but am having problems with the downloader. I've managed to get about half of the 6GB so far, but basically now if I leave it downloading, the whole computer freezes >.<

Are there any other sources to download the install software?

Where'd my reply go? Bah.
I used what Mekon used back when I installed it.
You should probably use this: http://games.on.net/file/37035/The_Lord ... _Free2Play
That's from when the game went free to play and is probably closer to the current version. You'll still have some patching to do but it should be much, much less. :)

If it actually downloads I'll be happy -.- everytime the current one freezes I have to reboot, so I'm spending more time rebooting than actually downloading!

Ah, whoops. Getting dyslexic - thought the one I linked was from end of 2010, not 2009... :dodgy:

Yeah, Mythor's link is the go.

Just a quick question..

Is that client listed above the hi-res or lo-res client?

I have the game and have been playing 'pre-moria', but I only have the lo-res client.

If hi-res, I may spend the time downloading it..

Cheers,

The one I linked is the high res one. As per the filename. ;)
I don't know if it'd be worth downloading and patching that whole thing up, however. I'm fairly sure there's a way to get the low-res version to update to the high-res one? Poke around in the launcher a bit? :)
