Blacklight: Retribution's Latest Patch Takes Forever To Download

Blacklight: Retribution recently had an update. I'm not sure when they released it but, when I tried to patch my copy of the game, the launcher was downloading the update at an extremely slow speed. I left it downloading for 30 minutes but the amount of data it was able to download was only 0.03%.


I didn't know what the actual download speed was but 0.03% in 30 minutes is beyond slow. I cancelled it and tried again but the result was the same. My launcher's patch progress bar wasn't moving and I didn't think it would. So, I cancelled it again and closed my launcher.

I went to the official forum to see what's going on with this ridiculously slow patch and I wasn't the only one who experienced it. Unfortunately, the developers of Blacklight: Retribution didn't release a manual patch for this particular update which kinda sucks because a manual patch would have been very helpful.

In any case, I followed one of the suggestions posted in the forum and that is to uninstall, re-download the latest full release and re-install Blacklight: Retribution. Since my copy of the game runs in STEAM, I simply uninstalled and re-installed the game.

Re-installing Blacklight: Retribution took many hours but it was still faster than trying to patch it through the launcher. Having to uninstall, re-download and re-install the game to make it work was kinda extreme but it was the only way I could patch or update my copy of Blacklight: Retribution.

Anyway, if you are having problems patching your copy of Blacklight: Retribution then why not try re-installing it using the latest full release. It may take a while but, at least, it will not take forever. LOL!

  5. Re-installs are the best ways to fix update problems, but they can be the most painful if you've got a lot of data already. I'd rather not update my Skyrim rather than re-install it!

  8. If there will be a torrent download, I think it can be much more faster. I experience the same thing with some of the FPS games I am playing.

  9. Reinstalling is always the better way :) Hope I am as patient as others who will really wait hours or even days just to download a game...

  10. 0.03% in 30 minutes?!?! That's just crazy!

    I'm not really familiar with the game, but I hope that you didn't lose any of your saved progress there. I've seen it happen to my brother. Not fun at all.
