Public bug reported:
Installing Ryzom is not an intuitive or a human-friendly process.
The installer did not show the total progress, so I had no idea how long
will it actually take to finish. This is not acceptable to someone on a
notebook who might need to be going places and wants to know whenever he
had the time to finish the download or not. I did find out through
googling that it downloads to ~/.ryzom/data and I could keep track of
the file growing - but that is not human friendly.
After it downloaded, the installer dialog simply went away and nothing
was shown in it's place. I tried launching Ryzom because I had a
shortcut created for it in Unity - it said failed to unpack files -
echoing what the latest review for the app in USC is saying. Then it
said the error again.
... only after that did it say that it started patching and launched the
game.
