Greetings folks, had a question which might be a slightly dumb one but either I cant search properly or it's advanced stupidity kicking in.
Question: Is there a better way to update EQ across multiple systems other than sharing/copying the whole blasted EQ folder across? (To avoid doing a 750 MB update on four systems at home and two laptops in separate locations, or copying a 10 gig EQ folder each time which takes years to copy without USB3)
Usually I patch on one comp on the network and then progressively copy the whole EQ folder (or whatever other game) onto the other computers that I use. Takes ages and I was wondering if there was a better to do it.
Since EQ patches updates files across a number of folders, is there a simple way to just find just the updated files and copy them across to the corresponding folders on another system?
Amazingly enough looking at the recently updated files netted me 150 mb of updated files in easily identifiable files.. but the download was 750 mb. Searching by date nets a whole lots of more files updated in a variety of folders... but manually searching and copying files and then finding the right folder on another system to dump the in is about as slow as copying the whole folder. And I never can seem to find all the blasted updated files coz the updated files seems to always been a few 100 mb less than what I downloaded.
Was wondering if someone had a better way of updating EQ across different systems after patches?
Cheers in advance and sorry if the solution is very obvious.
