Homefront

Post by THE_STIG »

We have installed homefront(yes it is the original), once the installation is finished it asks you to update now that would not be a problem if the update was 10mb but it is massive........5gb :shock: :shock:

How do you bypass this update process??

You don't.
Afaik, the game wont run without an i-net connection, and when you provide the connection, it gets instructed to update itself.

edit - spell and grams

Take your PC or console to a friends house who has fast uncapped ADSL and let it download there, or start the download before you go to bed and let it run overnight.

If you have a friend who already played it you might try copying his install folder, don't know if it'll work though.

Or maybe get the already downloaded update from their website from someone and apply it. The game will then see it has been updated and he can play.

My ISP has this "open time" windows between 1am and 6am for me to download as much as I can (line speed dependant obviously) without it eating my cap, so if I need to download something, I can do it then. :)
