    NOPE.

    It got stuck at 88% for a few minutes so I closed the launcher and tried again. Now it's stuck at 61%.

    I'm convinced PWE doesn't want me to play.

    Tried again just for the hell of it...

    First it got stuck at 55%.

    Now it's stuck at 59%.

    PWE's piece of **** patcher is essentially NEGATIVE patching.

    It's always something. For once I'd like to JUST LOG IN. I swear they do this on purpose. Ever since Pay2Win went live it's been a struggle just to get into the game.

    And it would appear that I'm the only person who has had this problem. I must be stupid.

    It only counts from where you left off last time; so you are actually making progress despite how it looks.

    I am guessing it might be due to the high amount of people trying to get on the game, but is anyone else having a problem with the Launcher patching? At the rate mine's going I'll make it on sometime this weekend.

    I have been having the same issues. 527MB patch taking over 45-minutes today (still running). Also, today, I have downloaded and installed two games of 2.4 GB and 4.6 GB from another source in less than 30-minutes.

    Any chance of getting the patch server fixed???
    Update: 95 minutes and stuck at 60.8% for last 20-minutes with about 4-restarts of launcher

    120-minutes asnd stuck at 59.6% after launcher restart. Giving up until server fixed

    Finally: Net time for 527 MB patch - 3.75 hours!!!!

    the way I see it is the Free to Play platform lets you try a game out before you decide whether or not to subscribe or spend money on it. based on the the silly long patch times and launcher issues( see top of forums) its not looking good.

    Hi Captains!

    If patching has been slow for you, it should improve in the next few minutes. Thanks for your patience!

    Cheers,

    From a purely technical point of view, there is a few million of us probably trying to download this patch. Giving the servers only came online again an hour ago its understandable they will be under some strain.

    They have a patch every week, but not every week I download it at 5 kbps.

    Been stuck at 88% for nearly an hour here. Wish it took this long for PW to take my money, I find I have buyer's remorse at times like these.
