This is what happens with every update. People get insane update times, they cant get into game. The timers are going up instead of down and are showing ridicolous time remaining. Update gets stuck at certain times. As i recall same thing was happening one year ago.

"kirbincho: 1:00

FizurpOG: Mine is stuck at 70%

Bountyhunters197: 100%

pokeman8: mine is too

pokeman8: stuck at 70

EDWKAZK121uhsd: mine to

kirbincho: Always stuck at 70%

superhornt: 544:50 at 70%

acerblade: 60:35

acerblade: 303:18

EDWKAZK121uhsd: omg 500:78

RiseToReckon: yay 512:03"

And so on, so on, many more people reporting this issue.

2 minutes ago mine update showed 1456:28 and was stuck at 70%. Right now its 1597:06 remaining and still stuck at 70%
During that there is not a single attempt from SK update to access network, no bandwitch usage. Its not even trying to update, the line is flat.

Also to people who are going to answer "lol,i i updated no problems", please also post on which continent you are playing.

One solution is to not to close the browser after the update. Just click the "play now" button a few minutes after the reboot and the client will open. It will say that you are not using the latest version and will start downloading in a seperate window. That way the timer won't go up to ridiculous numbers and it will patch relatively fast.

After patch, just restart the client so you won't have any problems logging on.

I think the problem is with Kongregate.

I don't see in what way this is new. Doesn't matter what your client is regardless.

This happens also with

This happens also with official standalone client. The only diffrence is that if you restart kongregate update it goes up to 70% (just as it says, resolving update) while official standalone client will start updating again from 0%

Certain people have more congested ISPs.
My internet always downloads the patches just fine and I'm running off Satellite/Mobile internet in Australia.

@stuck

Probably not the same thing, but I often get 'stuck' at 60-70% on the 'verification' phase. It's probably actually doing stuff in the background, but I just don't see anything happening so I go AFK or browse other sites for a bit `.`

What's a cheese to do?

When I see that the update is going crazy, I just close the update, wait a minute or two, and try again. That usually works for me. I also heard that it's a good idea to wait a little bit after the update arrives. Many people are downloading the new client, at the same time. So I would assume that causes those weird figures.

I think kong has a bad client managment, meaning that everyone get only one port for downloading, while if you have the client/steam version you have one port per person.

If you wait for steam to update your client, it goes super quick because steam has an excellent CDN.

What I do when incoming update: Leave my SK client running

Do not click anything until half an hour after reboot passes
Click login
They will ask you to update client, game closes and updater launches
This updater is a lot faster, and downloads in about 10minutes (for me)
Afterwards they will say "incorrect password", I close the game and restart the game from Kong launcher
