I have just sat here watching my download go at a snails pace for the last 2 hours 15 kbs to be exact the last 100mb... only for it to crash at the end and restart the entire download process again to say im just alittle pissed off is an understatement what a disaster !!!!

    connecting, disconnecting, connecting, disconnecting can you just keep the connections stable for like 2 seconds and be alittle more generous with the download bandwidth for godsake man you guys must have hamsters running a tread mill to operate your bloody servers what an absolute nightmare!

    Forward ports 56274 and 52138 TCP/UDP. If you're not sure how to forward ports, check out 'portforward.com'. My download speed has gone from 10-30 KB/s to 250-300. Spread the word.

    Dunno if that'll help with the crash, though.

    I know that this can be frustrating and we're truly sorry for the inconvenience.

    Try closing the client and opening it back up again. Also, you may enable Turbo Mode in the Beamdog settings to enable P2P, which should increase the download speed.

    3kb/s and constant disconnects hahahaah omg they really need to upload this game to mediafire so people like me can get the files faster then simply authenticate the game through the beamdog client simple solution to this.

    I hear you, sister! How they could fail to have an adequate platform to distribute their game is beyond me!

    Thanks you're a life saver! I was getting 20kb/s, now it's up to 220 and climbing!


    EDIT - 550KB/Sec, I want to have your baby, Marszie! I'm actually going to be able to play tonight!

    Take it as the opening of a Black Friday sale. There's limits regarding what the shop owners can do to control human mass.

    But in this case, there isn't even a sale.

    I think a lot of the problem stemmed from the fact that just about everyone who preordered tried to log in and activate their games exactly at 1pm when the release went live, and the servers have been trying to recover ever since.

    And the thing is - Overhaul isn't that big. They can't respond to such demands, because it's not the usual traffic they handle and because if they did, it would've been for a very small time window.

    It's a thing to blame a big-ass mall for not having easy ways of access, it's another thing to sue a small grocery for not having enough parking space for a thousand cars, just because they baked a very tasty cake that very day.
