Client closes itself if the connection drops during patch download #292

Open ryzom-pipeline opened 7 years ago

Original report by Lennaïck (Bitbucket: lennaick, GitHub: lennaick).

My Internet connexion isn't very good, sometime I've a little drop (less than a minute) witch stop the download, after few minutes the client close itself without retry downloading the current patch, I am currently doing a +3GiB patch form an old client v3.0.0.7727 and I've to stay and wait for restarting the client.

Now I'am at 1652,9MiB left and I already restart the client 6 or 7 time.

I think it won't work :( There will be some missing files and you'll have problems. I suggest you to download a full static client that takes only 1.4 GB and then launch it to patch.

Btw what does it have to do with Ryzom Core ?

Nothing but ease to patch your client even with a bad connexion. I believe that people may take some break and when they came back they might face large patch to download.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Perhaps it's related to my server since you're downloading from it :p It's a really cheap server (around 15€ per month).

I've finish to download the patch, all is OK now.

My point was : Is it possible to perform a retry when local connexion drop instead of closing client ? I think it'll be smarter to show the client performing few retry to download the remaining patch then seeing the client stop download and close himself witch might be seen as a crash for many user.

BTW, I have took a screenshot during the download after having restart the client it show weird all at 0 MiB but still 1.6GiB to download (maybe this is already corrected but I'm not sure) Capture d’écran_2016-09-26_14-51-29.jpg

It needs to be implemented so, as always, any help is welcome :)
