When was the actual S9 patch information to go out? Cause I've been dling a 7000kb bugger for three hours now... Last I'd seen the prepatch was was only 2000 some kb.
-grumbles- Pisses me off that I haven't had time to play at all today cause of this patch, as it wouldn't let me cancel and play.
SMALLER MANAGEABLE BITES CRYPTIC!!!
A Trill, a Gorn, a Jem'Hadar, Bejoran and a Voth walk into a bar, and the Bartender asks "What is this a Joke?"
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.
Prepatching works like normal patching, it grabs everything you need to bring you in line with the target build, except it goes into a temp folder instead of into your live buiild. In the case of a new season, that can be a lot, and can change significantly as they continue to squash bugs right up until the new season goes live. It can't really be split up, you have to download it all. You can cancel it by quitting the launcher.
I'm not sure how it would be preventing you from playing though. Prepatching happens when you quit the game. The launcher will run again after you log out and begin downloading. As I said, you can stop it by quitting the launcher if you want to log back in. I'd really advise you to let it run though. It's going to be a lot harder to download that stuff tomorrow when everybody's trying to do it at once. I logged in today and right back out just to get the prepatch.

Nope, it is behaving like a normal patch. I logged in and Boom Update!
