Why my launcher doesnt have any updating??Did anyones here got a same with me?

A server is meant to handle only so many requests at a time and funnel out so much data. When it gets way too many, you get a "Denial of Service" style natural attack. Since Silkroad.exe is trying to connect to the server, but it's seriously overburden, you get what you have now - non-updating client.

With the way the networking code is, it will wait for a response, which will take a while, so until that response comes, no start button and no update.

what does it say on the left?

Restart yoru launcher a few times and it will update. Or just wait.

is it just me or is what SRO doing stupid?

1. you can't download all the files at once
2. if all downloads don't complete, you have to restart
3. with everyone ddosing the server, no one is ever going to complete and you're basically creating a deadlock where no one will ever be able to finish the download because someone else who didn't finish it also is trying to connect and stoppping your request.

Nah, some of the lucky folks finished updates already.

And those lucky bastards are probably getting an easy run on uncrowded servers for the event.
