Does a FCT fix the problem of large files freezing at the end of the download?

Hi Gavan,
If it is freezing at the end of the download, this indicates that it is having problems installing the asset. The only time a FCT will help is if you want a faster download, or if it freezes before the end of a download.

Thanks Shane,
Is there a remedy for this problem with CM installing assets?
I can download them using FTP and install them using CM okay so it's a bit confusing. Seems it can't but can install certain assets.
I'm still trying to bring the game up to date from when I installed it a month ago so the 5kb download rate combined with the install problem creates a right royal pain in the caboose!. Sessions would crash to desktop which I took to be a result of out of date content so it seems like this is a necessary task.
Trainz is the only game I have ever come across where installing and updating is made so difficult for the customer and if the FCT doesn't actually remedy the install problem then it is not helping.
It's a shame really because when I can actually play it's quite fun. Just that the maintenance to game time ratio is so poor.
cheers

I know what you mean about the install issue - I get it sometimes.
It may help if you turn off the 'Automatically install CDPs' option in the Content Manager settings, then commit the downloaded items manually (use the Open for Edit tab, the shortcut for Commit is Ctrl and M).

I got a lifetime FCT. It fixed the problem with downloads over 1meg stalling.
The file still downloads if you don't have an FCT and ends up in you cache file, but you have to copy the file out of your cache directory into another directory then install the CDP file yourself.
Hope that helps

There's one you may not have tried. If you have the KUID, see my blog for another method.
