The problem is you have forgotten to upload the 1.1.01 patch to gamersgate, you have only put the 1.1.02 on there so we cant update until you add the first patch.

Sorry but this never happened to me on steam, I have never had to download a 15 gb game 3 times because of bugs, they usually prefer to patch the game so we only have to download patch instead of the whole thing again.
Ya it sucks. Luckily I have unlimited dl's but I pity the people who are on a limit. And I have only had to dl twice. Hope the game is worth it! Tbh I much prefered lionheart - kings crusade to king arthur 1 but it was still fun and I expect KA2 to be fun too
It's probably a mistake to buy KA2 on Gamersgate, given that that the devs are refusing to release patches for the original KA on anything but Steam. Leaving everyone else without the latest patches.
It's quite possible they'll drop support for KA2 on non-steam services too.

Well i can confirm that re-downloading the game brings you to the newest version 1.102. Thats now the second time i have had to re-download 17GB for the sake for a 30MB patch.
Lesson Learned, i will stick to Steam and not use Gamersgate again, no support from them, appalling handling of patches. At least i no longer mind paying a few £ more on steam, its worth it for the much betterservice. Hopefully no more patches, i dont want to have to download another 17GB as gamersgate dont understand how to upload a patch file correctly :laugh:

I don't think its a gamersgate problem honestly, I have bought over 50 games from them and neocore games are the only ones with that patch problem.
You can't blame Gamersgate for that they have nothing to do with it they are not the ones creating the patches nor deciding when they are released.
Talking of patches, does anybody knows if Dead Legion also was updated to version 1.1.02 and needs to be re-downloaded ?
It's not like Steam is immune to such problems either. Witcher 2, ~130MB of patches for everyone else, ~20GB of patches for steam, similar for CoH where the majority of the game had to be redownloaded every time that got patched etc.
It's (almost certainly) to do with how the patch distributions are handled. GG and most other systems use 'proper' patching (either extractive, direct file replacement from an archive andor formal patching where information is patched directly into files) while Steam generally uses a 'comparative' method which compares the new and old versions and downloads only the altered files. In the case of TW2 this included a 9.5GB archive which the other method just added/ removed a few MB of info from, but since Steam detected it simply as being 'changed' it redownloaded the whole 9.5GB. If GG is getting effectively just replacement download versions then- in the absence of a client to monitor installs- a full redownload is the only way they can distribute patches, short of making their own standalone 'direct' patches. Which they'd almost certainly be precluded from doing for legal and practical reasons.

Gamersgate has finally made available patch 1101, they have also put online the 1102 to 1103 patch.
