Requesting a full installer
Wed, 04/06/2011 - 22:15
Browsing the forums it seems that many people are having issues installing Spiral Knights, the reoccurring theme seems to be the install idling at 0%. I am also experiencing this problem, I am not sure if it is my router or ISP causing the problem but i would like to play the game. A full installer would solve the problem for a lot of people, even if they had to reinstall whenever there was an update i think it would be preferable to not being able to try the game at all.
If you are one of the people with this problem then maybe you can back me up.

same here ;-;
I have the very same issue, man, I feel your pain. My internet completely decides to die on my every time I attempt to download it using the client/in-browser thing.
I'd love to see this resolved.
EDIT: I'm not sure if I was clear enough, but
I have the game installed, but upon startup, it wants to Download Data, and that's where the download stops and my internet goes down.

lets hope
It seems like it would be fairly simple to release a full downloadable installer, lets hope they pay attention to this forum.

A better option might be to find out why the downloader is broken in the first place?

Methinks it's just a bit moody, now. Just keep retrying!

The highest it has ever
The highest it has ever gotten for me was 9% and then it kills. Now it's always 1% or 2% and dead. It's a really big pain in the ass having to start my comp over and over again because of it messing with my comp performance.

I've the same problem. I'm trying in two different computers and both aren't working.
The download stops, or the count stops and don't go ahead.
They should post the full download patcher

Hopefully they'll just add a full installer. This seems to be affecting a lot of people.

if you hit these issues doing
if you hit these issues doing the initial install you'll also hit them while patching later since it uses the exact same method, so a full installer won't actually help much

The game is small
The game is small enough that i would be willing to download a patched installer every time. It is not a real solution but until the installer is fixed it would be a decent workaround.

you can request , you can beg
you can request , you can beg but none will help you with full instaler cause creators of the game even dont read forum , you cant write e-mail to them cause support email dont work so all what we all (all who cant download) can do is just waiting ;/;/;/

They want an installer that includes everything in the EXE, as opposed to letting Getdown retrieve the game after install. As others have noted, this is not a great solution, because you still won't be able to download the patches when we update the client. So, I am instead working with one of our remote developers who has also experienced this problem in order to figure out what's causing it.

As a follow-up, if you installed the game using the installer EXE/BIN/DMG (as opposed to the applet), you'll probably have to redownload/reinstall it to fix the issue.
