....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:

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

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
