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:

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!

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.
