Come on, i restarted my subscription about a week ago, and ive been able to play ONCE, for about an hour. and even that was a pain in the TRIBBLE.

Long story:

"Oh hooray, Crossfire is out, i should get it"
-Reactivated my subscription....
-Started the update, it got stuck and the patcher locked up.... restarted patcher multiple times, kept stopping and not getting anything new.
-Uninstalled game, redownloaded whole game
-Loaded up the launcher... oh great, a patch
STILL WOULDNT DOWNLOAD THE PATCH AND THE LAUNCHER KEPT LOCKING UP.
-Reinstalled the game 3 more times, each with same problem.
-Installed game on ANOTHER computer, SAME PROBLEM... ROAR.
-Went to a friends place, he managed to download the patch. Copied the entire game to my PC and played it HOORAY! IT WORKED!

Then the very next day (today)
-Loaded launcher.... patching.... OH LOOK. IT GOT STUCK AGAIN!
-Tried another 4 times, same thing, stuck at 1% in the bottom of the window, 2.0% in the title bar.
Picture of it stuck: http://files.potholestudios.com/sto/broken.jpg

Seriously guys, What the hell? i shouldnt have to go to a mates place every time you release a patch to grab a copy of his game.

This has only been happening since Crossfire has been released. Ive already gone through a week of my month, and have been able to play a grand total of about 60 minutes!

    You got to 1% I have not gotten it to go that far and I left it running for like 4 hours. Wont even let me click on patch for it to start patching. But not prompting me to do anything else either. And after 4 hours looking at the c store get pretty old. I just reinstalled after well I guess over 6 months at least. But its not doing anything at all. If you figure out anything let me know.

    Even getting in the game is taking forever

    i think ive worked something out. i drove to my GF's house (85KM away) she is on the same ISP, has the Same Modem, with the SAME SETTINGS as mine, and what do you know, my netbook downloads the patch fine.

    Have a strange feeling the datacenter is having issues with specific connections from specific places, but after googling around, its not just us, its happening to a crapload of people, americans, australians, canadians, seems to not matter what country your in you can get the issue.

    Try taking your PC to a mates place that has the net and try patching there, that seems to be the only option for me.

    I to am having this problem, although it seams to be a problem with the patch released within the last 48-74 hours. I resubed about a week ago, played the game just fine till Saturday night and all though Sunday, thought that seeing as there is a new patch every 24hours it would be straitened out by this afternoon. Still no success. have yet to try it form a new ISP location but i was hoping that it would be sorted out by now.
