failure to download
« on: April 29, 2014, 07:51:54 PM »
Hey all
just got back into playing Foc and found this great mod, however i cant seem to download it. have tried several mirrors and two different browsers, IE and firefox. this is not usually a problem because i have mused mod DB before. it terminates at around 33%. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using Desura? It keeps track of file differences, so it may be best for people experiencing download issues.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

It's kind of like Steam for mods. So it'll start downloading, and if the download fails it should be able to tell and resume from wherever you were when it failed. It's part of the same company that runs ModDB, so it's all integrated.

I'm pretty confident it knows how to download to the Steam directory properly. You'd just have to do the normal mod launching stuff once it's downloaded, since I don't think Desura can change your Steam launch options.
