My best understanding of the situation is that they will likely strive for things like that when the negotiations allow them to go legitimate, thus seeking the manpower required to manage things like this. So, don't dismay, but keep expectations real.

From what I've read here and there on the forums, I'm wondering if it's maybe time to trim Tequila down to Live only in transition to HC Launcher only.

Sounds like someone needs a bigger server hamster.

Yup on all fronts. Long term Data on HDD and quick access content on SSDs for sure. Storage has quite a varied range of lifetimes, so it's also good to have an offline clone for each drive TBH. Every drive I have has an HDD of the same capacity that only gets connected for updating content (even the 12 Tb archive drive). This way the odds of data loss is low as the offline drives will see so little use that they'll be usable as the "smaller" replacement drives in the future. For reference, I just recycled the PC I built for dad with most the tech designed around the Y2K era. between the SSD (2012) and the HDDs, they'd all seen about 10-20k hours of use Each and only one reported that it was starting to show its age. I sanitized and scrapped them anyway because of how much uptime they'd had. Well, that and I Really don't need drives that small anymore.

That reminds me, I wonder when those 20-30 Tb drives release?

Heh, that RAM group is a tad low. Even on XP x86 the game loved to use 1.5 Gb. Now a days, you want 4 Gb for Win10 OS and whatever more for the apps you're using. Keep in mind that the requirements have gone Up since that most likely.

Ah, didn't realize it was in the group post.

Try this for reference:

Perhaps adjust the title to something like: History of "The Talks": A consolidation of what has been shared by the HC Devs

IDK the tech behind it, but I know that the drivers work differently than before for graphics since the game was built, so perhaps it's something related to that. 76 isn't Horrible if you're air cooling, but it's also not harmful. The card may be bumping its clock to handle the textures. IDK, lots of guessing TBH.

Aside from how it compresses (saving space by identifying patterns), I didn't figure it was smart enough to do that, but I guess I misread what was stated. I can just imagine the fun it'll be to create something to keep the links intact for the duplicate files though. X.X

I'd assume the dupes are really just the avatars? How does it know things are duped for sure?

I didn't Mean to do it I swear! 😛

So...."Are we there yet?" :p

Yup, those were the problem children alright.

There's still some in the queue it said and I hadn't read here yet before grabbing, but hit this quickly before just shutting them all down. It looks like we were somehow grabbing the same files too as I had the 117 sitting for a day, but it attempted to redownload it today. There was an error in the application.

I've got one I 'know' is running and one I'm thinking isn't really doing anything as it's an instance that I wasn't able to tell to stop when done. I'm trying not to force them in the event they actually finish, but IDK.

Um, so it Says there's 8 reuploaded and only 1 active, but...yeah. The i7 has one and the iMini has 4, one of which I managed to set to end when done, but I figured the others would finish and just complain about not having more to grab eventually.

iMini has some matching results. I've told the current instances to wrap up, but so far they're all in that weird "I'm frozen but not" state, so I can't really tell them to safely stop yet.
