MrBackup Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troo Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 sounding like you might not be alone. HC folks will jump on it. It might be something simple.

City Council Faultline Posted April 27, 2021 City Council Share Posted April 27, 2021 Both links point to the same place and are working; do you have a firewall/antivirus that may be blocking Island Rum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 14 minutes ago, Troo said: sounding like you might not be alone.

City Council Faultline Posted April 27, 2021 City Council Share Posted April 27, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Number Six Posted April 28, 2021 City Council Share Posted April 28, 2021 You're not the only one, someone else I helped on discord had trouble with one specific file (stage3e.pigg) stalling out over http, no matter if they tried to download it from the North America mirrors or the EU one. They could get it over https so I chalked it up to a malfunctioning ISP caching proxy or security scanner. Fortunately it was only the one file and they were able to get it manually over https. The new launcher does fail back to https, but for a stuck transfer like that it may take quite some time for it to give up on the http version. May have to flip the defaults for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
