Two days ago steam update the game with 6.8 gigs.
Now when i started the steam starter it showed another 6.67 patching being done?
Is this new expansion 12 gigs?

Whether you think you are right or wrong, either way you are RIGHT.

I only had a ~6gb patch after closing STO last Friday evening to do some party. When I returned the patch was done and no additional were implemented the past few days then. Funy thought to get home later after work and see another 6gigs!

read carefully: the top line is the patching of the files on your PC. the bottom line is the download of files from cryptic.
you are not downloading 3 or 6 gigs multiple times.
Anyway....mine is bigger than yours

Yes, I'm already patched and waiting for the login server to be up.
Patch: 1375 of 3378
Downloaded 995 (40%)
It would seem my pc is downloading something.
just started my patching too and I got the same...my already patched pre-patch files where deleted in the first second so i know they weren't switched with the old active files because it takes longer as one second to move them and now its downloading the 6.6GB patch again
Why in the hell is there a pre-patch when it doesn'twork?
You are only giving false hope to someone who only has 360KB/s download speed

before anyone jumps in with: b-b-b-b-but tribble was locked. you could have still updated without loging in.

I was about to post pretty much the same thing.
I got the pre-patch starting last week. I even updated Tribble. Load up the launcher today and start downloading the patch. I figure it's cool as there were probably some minor fixes being added and that at least SOME patching would be required.
Well, I've downloaded over a gig so far and have patched roughly 30% of 6 plus gigs.
Why in the world do I bother downloading all this TRIBBLE multiple times in order to be prepared for launch day, only to not have any of it matter? This has happened to me EVERY single update/season since Legacy of Romulus.
So, here I am, having downloaded a 6 gig patch twice last week and now I get to do it a third time. And yeah, I know that I'm not actually downloading 6 gigs, the patch is 6 gigs and the actual download is smaller. Even so, I've done everything that's been suggested to make "patch day" go easier, only to have none of it matter.
Thank the stars that I don't have a download cap, because if I did, I'd probably be in serious danger of going over after all this seemingly useless downloading. :mad:
And the really stupid thing is, I keep downloading the pre-patch and updating Tribble in the apparently vain hopes that "This time, it'll work." Luckily I know I'm insane so I guess it fits.

Dont forget to go to options on the patch client and click force verfi once its got todays patch

Rias Gremory - Leader; Frontier Marauders - I.K.S. B'ullwinkle
it is possible to patch 1500 GB of data with 1KB of data. it just depends on what is being changed.

I turned that feature off the day it hit the game.

Yes, I know that, I even stated as much in my prior post.
It doesn't change the fact that I have so far this morning DOWNLOADED 2 gigs worth of data and have only PATCHED about 45% of 6+ gigs.
I don't have the fasted internet connection, so I do everything I can to avoid having to download huge patches the DAY an update hits. Which is why I download the pre-patch, which is why I update Tribble. The problem is, the game/patcher/launcher doesn't realize I've done ANY of this and decides to re-download the patch. Meaning that all the time I spent being prepared is wasted. All in the hopes that it actually won't be.
If I had only 1 single complaint about the game, this would be it.
I can live with imperfect models and uniform options that clip.
I can live with having to lower my graphic settings in order to play and the lag that is seemingly ever-present while doing events in certain circumstances. (such as the Crystalline Catastrophe and the Undine space battlezone)
I can live with out-right bugs that 'ruin' the game experience until they get fixed, if fixed quickly. Honestly, I can't think of a single bug that prevents me from playing at least some part of the game, although I do know that some people have bugs that do.
What I can't stand having to live with is doing all this downloading to prepare for new seasons/expansions only to have to sit and wait while it downloads the whole thing again on the day of the update.
Make the updater actually 'see' that the blasted update has already been downloaded! Is that asking too much?

a few days ago the auto-patcher stopped showing up, and I breathed a sigh of relief knowing it's ready for patch day.
I get up today to find only 500MB was actually patched. WHY DID THE AUTO-PATCHER STOP, THEN?
