[Stuck in downloading bin.pigg]

I just changed the manifests to use https instead of http, see if that solves the issue for you. It is not ideal for downloads that don't need to be secured because the https handshake makes the download start slower, but it'll help if you have anything in the route that is intercepting unencrypted http and messing with it.

Also just an added FYI, My Dell laptop client is also updating now.  Looks like the http vs https really was the culprit.  I do understand your dilemma though, coz I as a dev, I would prefer the plain http protocol for downloading stuff as it is faster.  This looks like an ISP thing on my end though. 

 

Thanks Faultline. You rock!

Both links point to the same place and are working; do you have a firewall/antivirus that may be blocking Island Rum?

 

Nope... no firewall/antivirus here.

 

The http url example I gave above came from the manifest my client is trying to load.  It does not load for me ( probably why it is stuck in bin.pigg - trying to load that via http).  However if I try to access that resource via https, it will resolve and allow me to download that file directly (There a lot of files to go through that manifest list so doing that one by one manually might not be the smartest thing lol). 

 

Although if you say both links work for you... and only one works for me, this may be an ISP routing/caching thing that I may not have any control over...

sounding like you might not be alone.

 

HC folks will jump on it. It might be something simple.

 

Hopefully its just a simple configuration on my end... cross fingers

and yet others are having problems as well.

 

 

Thank you for highlighting this... wasn't really sure where to ask for help on this one.

Update failed twice while using the Homecoming launcher.

Third time was the charm.

 

I've never had the Homecoming launcher fail to update the first time before.

Definitely tried more than 3 times and still no chicken dinner for me 😪

Need a little help...

Upon updating my Macbook pro client, Island Rum is stuck at at downloading bin.pigg

 

been like that for hours now.

 

Same scenario with my Dell xps laptop...  Tequila is stuck in downloading bin.pigg

 

Investigating further, I checked out the Manifest file https://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml and it loaded fine.

 

the items in the filelist timed out i.e.

http://cdn-na1.homecomingservers.com/hc/assets/20210426_4294/patch/bin.pigg

 

however if you hcange protocol to https, it will resolve properly.\ i.e.

https://cdn-na1.homecomingservers.com/hc/assets/20210426_4294/patch/bin.pigg

 

 

I'm not really sure how everything is put together here... But any help/clarification/directions would be greatly appreciated.

 

maybe if the manifest wasn't published correctly? like http vs https... just a guess
