We have a door? What happened to the curtain?
Why am I always the last to be informed?

Well, more of a maze than a door ...

Turns on the lights, turns down the heat, pulls up the blinds, opens a window or three to let the mosquitoes in, turns on the jukebox (filled with classic rock only), turns on the Neon outside, pulls the stools from the bar and turns them over setting them on the floor, switches to install DVD 6, puts on the 100" TV, readies some controllers, checks the inventory (alcohol free beer, water, cola, coffee, tea, milk and warm choco, peanuts, chips, salty sticks, toasties, kroketten, bitterballen and frikandellen);

Turns on Dolly, the automated waitress/concierge.

Goes into waiting mode for the rabble to move in and for the game to be installed fully. After that I will be unavailable.

GTA 5 is installed and downloading a 5 GB patch at speeds between 19KB/sec and 2.3MB/sec. Going to take another 2.5 hours at minimum.

Edit, make that 11 hours as the download slows to under 10KB/sec.

It was a slow morning there, so it will probably be a slow day here.

I've done a stupid thing, I've stopped the updater. Now upon trying to restart it, I always immediately get that it cannot connect to the Rockstar servers. Fixing the game didn't help. Downloading the newest updater from Rockstar didn't help, so I've followed the only avenue open to me: uninstall and sit through another hour and 45 minutes for the reinstall. Sigh.

After that I'll probably best just leave the updater on the right monitor and sometimes click Retry.

If set at service speed I don't see why not.

It seems LA's most famous kitty has returned to ghost status.

The Rockstar Social Club Updater application would start and immediately throw an error that it couldn't connect to the server. Prior to me stopping that app, it would at least connect to the server at speeds between 0.1 and 12KB/sec.

I already know that the game in its installed volume is only 60GB, you need to download the last 5GB from the server, then patch that immediately with another 5GB patch and patch that with a 350MB patch.

So all in all it'll be tomorrow before I've got a chance in hell to be able to play it. If at least the Updater can keep a connection to the server, which it cannot. I've had to Pause and Resume the download 4 times already during typing this.

I wonder if it has anything to do with what happened last week after the outage?
