OK - so i've not installed the map pak (pekkas) in a while - i was doing same things different day for a while so saw no need... since i knew where what i was hunting was.
Got the new version (2.3) today and figured what the heck - install it - ya JUST downloaded a new patch yesterday... can't hurt....
go to log in - yeap - it goes "full scan" on me...
you KNOW what that means if you install pekkas.. yeap - game decides to install EVERY POS MAP AE HAS every time... 20.1MB download...
i'd be PISSED if this happened all the time on dial up...
wtf could they have changed between yesterday (hell this morning at 3am) and now...??!?!?
it just figures that i've not installed cause i was avoiding 20mb downloads... and when i figure its safe.... BOOOM another full scan.
I don't understand why they can't make a "choice" to download a FULL scan ... and a FULL scan sans maps... and a i'm not looking for a scan at all options.
the AUTO scan should be to ignore maps... and let the user decide to download a full FULL scan if they want to... after all i have a hard time accepting that newbies that never heard of a mappak would need the "default" maps... and the initiated woudln't need em because someone was nice enough to make new and improved maps. And NO one likes a 20mb download.....
bleh - just irritating watching it download maps that *I DON"T WANT*
and it does it EVERY time some idiot decides to patch....
it just seems like it would be SO easy to NOT include maps in a mandatory download... and add an option to scan EVERY file.
grrr
yes... i know witching... but hell - this game could use some "not peeve people" options....(other than the OTHER games comming out......)
J/Tharg!
EDIT - the "some idiot decides to patch" line was rough - sorry for that... just ... i guess wearing my own patience out for a game nearly a year old - that i like... and can't seem to get its crud together....
