[FatalDelay]

I am running AutoPatcher from a network share to update a large number of systems and the initial verification process takes probably 5 minutes or more - depending on the speed of the PC. Is there a way to disable that completely or at least the functions that aren't absolutely necessary? Thanks.

there's a couple of things that you can do to decrease the detection time:
- copy to the local machine;
- remove the .rti files

the last option decreases the loading time a lot, but comes with an issue: you never will know if you have downloaded everything as was supposed to
