Topic: why make thing MORE complicated?

once again i can not play because of stupid over complications of updates?
why not just release new patches for download, get rid of the FS LAUNCHER!
i am now uninstalling (what could have been a GREAT game) for good.
maybe the servers are always empty because they cant get the launcher to work so they give in.

this is not meant to offend anyone, but why make it more complicated that it should be?

The servers were empty before the launcher. I used to have problems with it to, then i tried running as administrator and have not had any more problems.

Re: why make thing MORE complicated?

Bye.

The launcher may be more complicated than it needs to be, however getting it to do what it is designed to do is usually as easy as clicking a button.  Why you had the problems you did is beyond myself and everyone else who has seen the threads.

The launcher is there because releasing patches individually is impractical and hamsters damn difficult to install.  How would we be able to tell new comers they are out of date? We'd have to write an .exe for every minipatch. Some of these matches are tiny, not even 5 meg. What a waste of time and effort.

Perhaps you will make it back some time later.  Good luck if you do attemt to try again in the future.

Servers are empty basically because most people who play 2142 don't care for mods.  Or never hear of them.  FS had a ton of bugs at release (which could have been handled by a launcher) which put alot of people off.

Re: why make thing MORE complicated?

People assuming that THEIR problem is the reason the mod is not populated is really F-ing lame. How self centered can you be?

If you could do better, please be my guest take your FS-free time and make a mod, and consistently update it.


Goodbye.

Re: why make thing MORE complicated?

Well, the launcher is a good thing.

But a solution for those people who can't update because the launcher doesn't find the right link in the regestry would be nice...
(a simple requester to set the path ?).

A temporary solution:

Re: why make thing MORE complicated?

Maybe I was lucky... but I installed the launcher and patched up then played. I never ran into a single problem with this mod. I don't understand what the issue is?
