Wintersday kitten Yeah!
It must be the patch and the large amount of people trying to connect. After that if you have massive lag, find a ridiculous number of bugs or can’t leave the overflow server it should be normal.

Why fix the Necromancer for free when we can charge $$$ for the Revenant

Turn autoplay on, turn the volume up really loud and unless you disabled the in-game music, you can take a nap and be woken up when it’s ready. Or you could go make a sandwich and a coffee.

I’m getting the exact same message as the player who started this thread.

Edit: It looks like this issue has been resolved.

.. better patch testing when prime time? lol

This is really my one complaint thus far with this game. I really wish AN would choose better times for implementing patches and doing maintenance. Surely they can find a time when few people play.

Was downloading before the error of doom. Tho it seems this patch is of a ridiculous size.
It was at 1% with @115MB downloaded. Said there was 5300 files to download. This looked a lot like the full download of the game when I first installed it.
