Patch updates

/cast Resurrection on the dead website

UPDATE – The patch is mirrored here and working.

The patch I mirrored is the full version working on every client, so not the smaller patch that only updates from the most recent one. I’ll update the pages (included this one) shortly with all the latest checksums. Below there’s still the old post, so the information may not be valid.


Basically there are only two patches for the last update. One patch to bring the last public version 1.2.4(4222) to the new 1.3.0. And it is the 60Mb patch that most of the users who played till now need. Then there’s a second patch that will update ANY version of the game, release CD included, but it weighs 112Mb.

The patch currently on my site only update from release CD to 1.2.1. The test patch doesn’t work *at all* since as you connect with it the client will automatically revert to the previous official version (1.2.4) and then download the 60Mb patch.

So I have an hole from 1.2.1 to 1.2.4. There aren’t patches available for this transition and this makes the two patches on my site useless. If you try to connect with the 1.2.1 client you will still start to download the 110Mb cumulative patch, so the same as if you have freshly installed the game.

Now I’m *swamped* as everyone else. I wasn’t able to extract the .torrent file because the old way doesn’t seem to work anymore. I’m trying to get the bigger file that will patch any version but this means it will take A LOT of time to download it here and time to upload it to my website. I do not think I’ll host here the smaller 60Mb patch because I prefer a single file that can patch any version.

So for now nothing. As I’m able to get the cumulative patch I’ll upload it and make it available.

UPDATE: I’m having some luck. The download of the patch is going rather well.
Do NOT spread the url like I do :)

– There are already reports of relevant nerfs to the rogues due to a change in the mechanic of the combat. I’ll explain later but it’s basically a side-effect to the changes to the warriors. We have to see if Blizzard is happy of the result or if they’ll have to fix it later.
