my client happily downloads from the url i added and extracts the files into the cache but then after that it still goes and downloads direct from my server
Are you sure the files get extracted? If the cache files are present, Unreal will NEVER download from the server. But without logs I can't say much. (Tip: take a look at your client log while downloading)
Thanks for your help Hyper, all seems to be working well now i suspect i messed up a setting somewhere in the client so i reinstalled it
ive also dropped Outpost5 from the server list it was causeing the server to hang, ive also edited Lapetus to go to Nyleve when it ends and renamed it LapetusV2 if you want it you can get it here....
