I know this topic has probably been beaten to death...but here is yet another request for the release of a manual patch AND WHY.

I operate an Internet cafe with 30 computers. I have three options when a large patch is released 1) stay up all night watching 1 computer patch at a time, 2) patch one computer and spend 30 min/hard drive and all night cloning them so my computers are not down for patching during the day when I have customers, or 3) Uninstall the game because it is too much hassle to maintain.

If I can download a manual patch I can share it over the network and patch all the computers rather quickly.

SO PLEASE offer manual patches in the future...games that don't offer manual patches often get uninstalled after a few attempts to ask the developers to release manual patches.

Understand? No manual patches in the future...game gets uninstalled on 30 PCs.

Thank you for understanding the needs of your customers,

Concerned Internet Cafe owner.

Given that having Hawken preinstalled in internet cafes is a great way to get new players, I think they should have a vested interest in helping you.  It might help if you didn't make your post sound like an ultimatum though.  Just try to talk it out.

Also, keep in mind this is the open beta, not the full release.  Things still need to be worked out.

I'm not sure if it's available with Ghost (or whatever you use for drive cloning) or not, but if you use FOG you can clone a disk and store the image on a server, then push it out to whatever computers you want to on the same network simultaneously.  We used it all the time at the school I used to work at, it allowed labs with 20+ computer to be finished in about 30 minutes from unboxing to login.
