i have no idea where i would post something like this so sorry if its in the wrong one, the organization of these boards sucks, where can you dicuss general game stuff? well anyways i think that its very important that the devs include all of the previous publishes with the new expansion. the download time when you reinstall is ridiculous. i would save over an hour every time i reinstall if i didnt have to download those damned updates.

It is a pain, but there is a way around it...
Copy all of the hotfix and patch .tre files out of your SWG install directory and onto a CD. When you reinstall, copy them back in. The all you have to do is run the program, it may download one or two files, do a full scan to make sure everything is good, and BLAMO! Fully updated without 2 gigs worth of downloads!

Isn't the new expansion a download
Be cool for the people with Dial-up access to be able to request a CD at a small fee inorder to install, + have most of the past patchs included just incase you have to re-install the game or your pc at anytime. Last time I had to reinstall over DSL not long ago it still took just over one hour without JTL.

I think it probably will - I believe JTL had all the publishes upto its launch included on the cd? This means when I have to re-install, I install SWG, then install JTL and voila - much less to download

If you bought SWG, does it have all the recent publishes on it..up to date?

I just burn my SWG folder onto a DVD+RW every now and then.... if I need to reinstall, not much patching for me.
