Just an observation about how to download the large beast (i.e., uncompressed version). I tried several options but could not get them working. They included:
- Using other links (didn't work for me).
- Using JDownloader (didn't work for me).
- Tried using the torrent and it died half way through [edited]
- Resetting modem (it's not my modem, so I can't reset it).
Finally, after a lot of trial and error, what did work for me was:
- Download the parts from Mega. I did this using a commercial VPN service that I have (Strong VPN). After downloading each part, I had to clear my cache for the last 24 hours, otherwise I would get through the next part and it would stop halfway telling me my HTML5 browser cache was full. Then, switch VPN locations (this is to get a different IP number, since I can't reboot the modem that is not mine to boot).
- Rinse and repeat.
- After all of the parts were downloaded, I did the same as above, and downloaded the Dark Mind patch.
- I used 7-ZIP to decompress the parts into a single folder.
- I used 7-ZIP to decompress the Dark Mind Patch directly into the Game folder. This caused 7-Zip to ask if I wanted to override the 1,400 files or so, and I said yes.
- Done.
I hope these suggestions and this step-by-step are helpful for those who are still having problems.
As always, a huge THANK YOU to Blue Cat for the enormous amount of work that went into this project. While many of the changes are under the hood and thus not visible, having made my own modest game, I am well aware of the enormity of the task and need for it in order to facilitate future growth.
