....Carrying around 4 CDs so I can update a box is a bit ridiculous......

.....an unhappy and soon to be former Autopatcher user....

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. Show some appreciation for a product that the developers don't require you to purchase. Geez

Why would you need to carry around 4 CDs? Ever thought of placing all 4 on one CD? Shocking, I know.

Developers: Keep up the good work !!

what is the problem with download a full version, update it then compile it again to make a full version or just burn that merged version or copy it in any media?

by the way: pt-br update is already uploaded to sign. but it's party time for now...

OK, I complained about this before, I think it's ridiculous that a full version has not released since November, enough patches and updates have been released since then to justify a full update. Carrying around 4 CDs so I can update a box is a bit ridiculous. There are enough mirrors and torrent seeds available that taxing someones bandwidth isn't a big deal. The difference between downloading a 80Mb and 300+Mb file is not a big deal to most of us either, broadband is widely available and if your complaining that you don't have broadband and need smaller downloads, then just use Windows Update or find someone who does...

The bandwidth issue is not to do with the people downloading, it's the mirrors.

The mirrors chew up a hell of a lot of bandwidth as it is, having lazy people download the full release because they can't be arsed to click 4 links instead of one only makes the situation worse. That extra 200+ mb per month adds up very quickly when you shift tens of thousands of downloads.

these figures are from the Torrent tracker so aren't entirely representative of the HTTP mirrors (More people use the HTTP mirrors...) but should get the point across.

For the XP release alone, 27276 people have downloaded the update files. Assuming a 200mb filesize difference, that's roughly 5455200 mb in wasted data transfer saved. Average that over the 3 months (being generous as the Feb releases are new) that's still 1363800 mb per month saved, so 1331.84 gb or 1.3 terrabytes a month PER MIRROR. Bandwidth is not free.

@cwarnke, if i'm not mistaken, the defaults switch must always come last!

Thanks that was the problem.

and the second problem was that I can't use "..\winxp.ini".

it must look like this!

install.cmd

start /wait autopatcher\Autopatcher.exe /noeula /nochecks /noreboot /nonags /nolog /unattend:t2 /defaults:Winxp.ini

Well fellas, I'll to bring it to ya. Congrats on that new AP version programming... and cheers to us who will be bale to use it.

I'm still having a lil' trouble as to get it to work, provided I dl'ed from the link that Gandolas gave us with Shareazaa and it ended up (in my dl's folder) as a an *.wmv file. :blink:

Anyone can please help me out here?

hi. there's an small issue regarding AP PT-BR update. i've changed 2 modules at Stand Alone (Winrar and Foxit). Winrar was with a bad detection and Foxit had an update to build 1414. not a big deal, in fact, but update installer removes booth modules and doesn't replace it by the new version. it will not damage or do any mess in your machine, just that 2 modules will not be installed (will be removed, in fact). there's more than one solution for that:

- you may go to Foxit Website and manually download the installer (Foxit Reader 2.0 (.exe)). go to Winrar Website and do the same. booth are pretty tiny;

- you may go to AP install folder, modules, stand_alone before update and copy all files to some place and replace it latter. you may stay with a older version of foxit, but that's all

MD5 for PT-BR is c1ae2b85495b20031ce56bbace66289f

emule link, to those that with it:

ed2k://|file|AutoPatcher_XP_Feb2007_PortugueseBrazil_Update.exe|55448374|F73072836C1AEAA559CCA30038DE8800|/

can take some time until sources appear

torrent mirrors:

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3625528

please fell free to mirror it in any place that you wish

best regards

You download from which link? The links I posted are the ones resulting from hashing the files I created, so, you shouldn't have gotten any .wmv file.

From this link, which was at this thread's 1st post (made by 'Blazing Angel). ==> ed2k://|file|AutoPatcher_XP_Feb2007_Portuguese_Full.exe|360436637|EAC39859FC1406C9547B8A4D2E6D9DB8|/

Anyway... what I did was to copy-paste it into Shareazaa, search for it and then dl' it. :blink:

Will try to copy-paste it to uTorrent and see how it goes.

the ed2k P2P network won't work with uTorrent.

^^ Try this time with eMule (and not with Shareazaa).

Thanks for the heads up. But generally Shareazaa makes dl's available from the eDonkey2K network along with the Gnutella and a few others. For that, all I need is a list file form these networks in *.met format. If anyone is kind to grant me one to ease up future dl's, I'll be more than thankful. ;)

Anyway for any member that concerns, Gandolas has already provided me other (temporary) solution. Even though it might take a lil' while longer to do it. :)

Do you think people here care if you are going to become a former Autopatcher user?

Do you think that the creators are going to stop Autopatcher because you are leaving?

The answer is simple....NO.

If you don't like it, dont use it, its very simple. Sometimes people download programs, install them, the system stops responding, and then quickly complaint that the program did this to my PC, the program did that to my PC. Some people do not have the knowledge to download and install programs. Also, NEVER download a program and install it on your main PC. Get yourself another PC to test.

The creators are spending a lot of their time to make Autopatcher, and people like you do not value their work.

Just needed to vent.

By the way. Keep up the good work Autopatcher team. (Y)

I love it when constructive critisism and my opinion turns into a flame war... I state my opinion and people just turn around and attack me... Goes to show that most people (like you) don't value others opinions.

And by the way... i'm not some ignorant end user, as you have assumed... I have been in IT for 16+ years and hold more certifications than my business cards can even hold...

It was hardly constructive criticism you gave, and I stand by my own opinion and think that anyone who boasts about being in IT for so long needs to experience a wider range of life.

As mentioned previously, why not compile your own full build (I do every month for my own Resource CD), all the tools and documentation are freely available on these forums, mind you you don't need to read that do you because you've been in IT for 16+ years and have more certificates than business cards can hold

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
