How does one determine which version of the launcher one has? I'm not finding a version marked on the launcher app itself. Looking at file properties of the various icons for the Launcher and .exe I see version 1.8.1.0 for one of the Launcher files and that's all.
When I opened the launcher and clicked "Preload complete" I got a pop-up dialogue box stating that an update was available. For that pop-up I clicked to install, the app checked for new files, and presumably updated. I was away from the computer for the actual download of new files. I assume that download did take place because the launcher said "Preload complete" when I returned.
I installed the launcher using the link for option 1 in the email I received if that helps make more sense of this.
Edit: Now when I click "Preload complete" nothing opens, so I assume that the update worked.
I must say that this is confusingly implemented thus far. I received no email to the effect that I can start the second download. Nor that I had to click on the "pre-download completed" box to initiate the update.
Did you get an email about the first download then? I didn't... :-(
500 kb/s could have been alot worse I just hope you guys enjoy all the upload I will put your way ^^ its good that we can all download now and be fully ready come 28th
So I originally downloaded it from the direct torrent (hosted by Beamdog and mentioned by Mortes in another Preloading thread) and have had the "Pre-load Complete" message for a couple of days now.
I did check it yesterday and it said something about launcher updates so I just clicked ok.
Do I now have to download something else? I can't check anything as I'm not at home at the moment, but I would like to know so I can set it away downloading before I go to the gym later.

Yes apparently you can donwload 500MB of extra content since early this morning. Scroll back a few pages on this thread to get more details.
The first download was 1.3 Gb. We were supposed to get the second one (500Mb) on release day, but Overhaul decided to make it available earlier to try and avoid traffic issues on launch day.
Ah cool, I'll set it away when I get in tonight, hopefully it will go faster than the first segment. I had to resort to the torrent because it refused to go faster than 50 BITS per second
@tilly - You are most welcome - glad I didn't jinx it for you. Seems like most people are having a better time downloading this time around.
@Kristie83 - Aw stop - you'll make me blush. You too are also very welcome. How could I resist posting? Seemed like the obvious thing to do. I'm sure there were a couple of folks who spotted the download before me, and thanks to them too - I wouldn't have spotted it without them quite likely.

Just for the record I have 1.77 GB made up of 935 Files in 57 Folders.
