    How about in anticipation putting another couple of server racks in place for the patch? That would have been nice.

    My Patch finished but when I go into the game it says "retrieving list of characters" then fails to log in and requests that I re-log in so yah patching isn't the only issue it would seem. I still say that the system is dealing with way more people then anticipated (which is good for the game, but not for launch days).

    Same thing here now its finally patched. I get to retrieving characters and then it throws up a login failed error.

    For those with problems with patch, go to Steam, download the game and voila, wrked for me, took 23 minuts to download the entire game at 3.5mb/s, can't enter the game due to some error many people are having but patch solved and game all updated.

    Restarting seemed to work for me. Then again, I sort of expected a super slow patch since that's the nature of these things, so who knows.

    Edit: I seem to be getting Zeno's paradox. It does reduce the amount to be patched, but it's only faster up to about 50%. Then I've ended up restarting again.

    Every time I start a mission or advance on to the next part of the mission, the game has to patch... and I wait. Is this because I'm not a member? Many times during the patching it stops and the game just sits idle. I'd rather just patch the entire game and be good to go when the missions start/advance. Is this possible?

    When you first fire up the game, at the launcher click options and check "disable on-demand patching". Next time it patches it will grab all those files that it patches per-map in one go.

    What they really ought to do is make PvP and STF and other group event maps like that patch from the launcher automatically. It's always annoying to forget about that, and find that your team is partway through the match / STF / event by the time you get in.

    STO won't launch for me? Not sure if it's a patching issue, but alas as a new user I can't post, so I must resort to thread hijacking/resurections.

    I'm on version ST.35.20131029a.26 and it says the servers status is green/up, but the launcher just sits there with the grey(er) patch button. Everything else is working for me.

    Anything up?

    Downloading STO is horrible! It's been two days and it's fast as ********
    SWTOR, Age Of Conan, GW2 - all I downloaded a couple minutes. I do not understand!

    Lol, your post too......

    Both of your accounts have been flagged for the slowest downloads possible because you NECROPOST 6 month old threads.

    You may be asking how this is possible. Well the STO GM's use the Guardian of Forever to go backwards in time to impose the slow download penalty.

    This^^^

    Never resurrect a thread more than 30 days old. Can you not hear the small children crying?

    EDIT: Closed for necroing an old thread. Remember, if a thread has been inactive for 30 days, you should not post to it. Feel free to create a new thread on the subject if you would like to discuss further :) ~BranFlakes
