Well it gave up straight away last night. Looks like a full patch on LoR is going to be my only option. That's fine as I didn't expect to get in on that day anyway, it's just a tad annoying it won't do it while I'm in the land of nod.
Prepatch, 7th try, went to ~80% over the course of 6-7 hours and then of course crashed. Back to 0.
Cryptic, how about you tell us if this POS is able to pick up after it crashed or if it really can only download the whole 5G in one session? Should we delete the prepatch folder if it crashed or just let it continue (if it continues at all and does not crash almost immediately on subsequent tries)? Seems that there are 7 .hogg files in there that are written simultaneously and 4 more that just sit there at 65kB.
Even better, put the 5G (or the individual files) on a server that can offer a bit more than 100kB/s download (or talk to your ISP if its throttling on their part; I'm in Europe FYI).
With that performance, the 21st will be 'interesting'. Better get out your asbestos hull platings
I keep getting a big patch as well 9883Mb and i do not know way it is patching after close the game is all ready fully patched is this a big nasty bug or some thing.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
I have now disabled on demand patching. Anr restarted the launcher. And surprisingli, the big patch is downloading at maximum speed. Fev minutes and it will be downloaded soon. Before that the launcher always started downlaoding patch in aprox. 3650 kB. And after exiting game, it started downloading big patch with slow speed and never finished downloading it. Maby the problem will be solved if you try the same way I did.
That's wierd. After launcher downloaded patch, I statred the game. And after exiting game, the launcher started downloading patch in size around 10Gb. Is this a joke? Guess I'll have to wait and see. Patch is downloading with maximum speed. So It vill be downloaded fast. But, what will happend after that, i don't know.
Steam is a online dgital purchase system for games. Anyway I do not have it therefore it is not likely that is the cause.
ok.
I was away from the computer for a bit, and when I got back not too long ago, I found that the launcher window was closed, so I assumed that it was done patching.
I re-logged into the launcher, it patched something small like 1000 kb , then i logged into the game, and logged out , to see if indeed I got the entire patch done (since I don't know how else to check), and it started to patch 5000 mb again...?!?!?
so is that an automatic thing? or does that mean that it didn't patch hundred percent?
Not weird at all, when you pre-patched before you only did the bare minimum due to having patch on demand enabled. Now you are downloading all of the pre-patch as per your settings.

Did the same as u did, and same result as u...ill just wait and see what will happen...maybe afterwards another 20gigs patch
The Cryptic should look at this problem. Becouse is irretating. Maby Tal Shiar doesn't want us to download the normal patch (if it's for romulan missions and toon).

Its probly starting to download the new expansion for Legacy of Romulus (LOR)
this new expansion has lots of features and I remember when it downloaded it for tribble (test server) it was way over 50gb, so if you disable the patching now, when it get released you will be hit with a 50gb++ patch you need to patch and dont forget you wont be the only one downloading so expect it to fail a couple of times or even the patch server going down because of all the people trying to patch

this has confused me indeed.

like everyone else its a false download at this time. cryptic should disable it and leave it disabled. everyone has to download a huge amount of gb data at launch anyway, so it really wouldn't matter one way or the other.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Great work, now it already fails when the Launcher tries to Update itself! Still two days until the Launch of LoR, and already now you kicked people out of the game due to technical issues! :mad:
pre-patching isnt working. i have no idea if the patch is ok, because i cant download it. i tried 6x and it crashed always around 50% (more or less). and it starts again from 0.
=> just make the patch available from torrent. would solve all the complaints.
there is a special thread, where tons of people complain about this in pc support. nobody, i mean NOBODY at cryptic took the time to write something in the thread. so: why does the forum exist?
if the patch doesnt work, at least write: it wont work. patch at 21th. would be more than we got till now from cryptic ppl... sorry but thats just sad.
Well now at least Cryptic sorted their hosting issues out so one gets good international speeds. Everytime i quit it patches 9883 MB of data, but it doesnt seem to actually save anything it downloads, the pre-patch folder contains the initial 5.8GB of stuffs.
So what is this 9883 MB of pre-patch phantom data it downloads everytime one quits STO?

they are not that daft to ignore feedback when it is in-front of them. if they act on it is another matter entirely.

just failed my 6th attempt too,50% thought hey this might work,the horror when it crashed again,just dont get it,i wouldnt mind if cryptic posted something but not one reply:mad:
i have been trying since they released the pre patch im now trying again but its taking me like 1 hour to patch 489 mb and i have 9833 mb to patch this sucks
Thing is i had this going on several times including the freezing, and then yesterday it patched again and suddenly it crashed. And now everytime it tries to patch again after i played the game after a short while it just dissapears. I really wonder what's going on.

Anyone else dealing with this annoyance?
And it still crashes almost instantly, same as before. And still starting at 0 every time.
Is there a place I can download the file directly and install manually?

Perhaps it's only people who use "steam" (whatever that is) that are having problems?

The patch you are denying is the LoR prepatch.
This happens to reduce the Server Load on patch day.
So keep it running over night or when you are up to other things.
ok.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Patching on game start over 3GBs
Patching on game exit over 5GBs
EVERY TIME :mad::mad::mad:
Downloaded last days over 50GBs of data
Its rediculous.
Did the same as u did, and same result as u...ill just wait and see what will happen...maybe afterwards another 20gigs patch

What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
