    thats because you have activated "patch on demand" in the launcher options
    so instead of downloading everything at once, you download whatever you need for the current zone

    It's a system they use to reduce the size of launcher patching, since you only download the "Core" files. Then when you travel to modified areas, you download the relevant updated files.

    Essentially, it means you should basically be only downloading the files you need rather than the entire game, but it doesn't seem to save a whole heap of time... Just adds a bit of frustration when you have to wait 5 minutes for people during DDs after a patch.

    Yeah, turn it off, patch everything at once, enjoy shorter loading times.
    How Cryptic trolls the entire NWO playerbase: 9200 GS listed for CN, implying anyone who needs more has no skill.

    Yep. On Demand Patching is a good idea, but one that doesn't work in practice.
