Not with the D/L speed I'm getting... I consider myself lucky if I get to play 1.1 today.

It took longer for the download to start than it did to download for me weirdly. But I'm in now!

 

[Bulldog1954]

Its taken an hour so far I may not have time to play today.

The "patch" is 2.5 gigabytes in size. Yikes! Looking at the patch notes makes me wonder what in that could have required something of this size. or is it just sloppy programming?

New shaders, new visual effects, modified sounds? Just guessing, but those are typically bulky things.

There's also the possibility that this upgrade includes whole files rather than just patches. Or maybe they just bulked it up on a lark.

I found that turning off 'auto detect' in your LAN settings speeds things up a lot. I have to turn it back on afterwards

I'm liking 1.1 a lot, especially the new route planner.

Need to dig out some change notes to see what other major things they've done.
