HnH and Wifi Tethering

[NukaCola]

Hello ,

I have been playing Haven and Hearth for a few months now, on and off, and I have really enjoyed the game so far! I'm still learning the ropes of the game, but the learning curb is nice. Recently I have moved, and have been using my cellphone as a wifi hotspot to play online games. I do have a data cap (5gb?) and share a plan with family members, so I'm trying to be careful about how much data I use when I play.

My question is, how much data does this game use? Another game I play, Latale, does not take up much UNLESS it has a patch or update. I currently use Ender's Client to play HnH, and every time I launch it there appears to be an update. I am concerned that this "update every launch" will quickly eat up my data, and want to get some thoughts and opinions from other players before trying it out. Does anyone else use mobile tethering to play? I miss playing this game and would like to get back into it!

Thanks for reading~

I'm actually doing the same thing. It doesn't use much data at all.

2000Th post yay

enders doesn't update that often, it only checks for updates.
in any case you can disable the updating by editing your run.bat

I heard somewhere that haven uses about 2mb per hour, though I haven't checked it myself.
if you're out exploring then it will use more than if you're standing afk in a house.

the only issue would be packet loss from the wifi so try not to get into combat.

Gratz Arcanist!


Welcome NukaCola! (diehardFOfanboi here)
I'm on 5GB Volumen / 3 G with an USB Stick aswell - and the traffic used for HnH is very low (and even with used up volume and at GPRS speed i'm able to do most stuff at HnH - it only loads slower) - the assumption for about 2MB/hour average seems right

Ender client only checks for updates when running the updater.jar manually (and even works fast when no volume) - if you're creating a run.bat for starting HnH it doesn't run updater.jar nor checks for updates -> http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 27&t=35224

Thank you everyone for your quick replies, I appreciate them! Based on what I've seen here, I think it will be okay to run HnH without going over my data limit (Now time to wander aimlessly through the world!...and hopefully learn something along the way...)

P.S.: Congrats Arcanist on your 2000th post! Awesome!!
