Patch server real slow/freezing?

dracounguis

What's wrong with the patch sever? I tried it before today's maintainence was done and it froze at 1% and now trying it again and it stops at 14.3MB (1%) and it's been sitting there like that for over 10mins.

Same thing happened last patch day. Took me 3hrs to get the damn game patched!

Yeah it happened to me too..So patched the next day and finished in 10 mins..

xraiderv1

seeing that today myself.

The patch servers have been slow/malfunctioning for several days now. At one point yesterday (there's a thread on it here) they crapped out entirely leaving some people with on-demand patching turned on, myself included, stuck on loading screens.

I ran a trace route and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Can we maybe get an "we're aware of the problem and are working on it."?​​

experiencing the same problem. while glad to know I am not alone, please be "aware of the problem and work on it". Thank you!

Same problem here. Got a 7.9 gig sized patch and I've been going at it since the servers went back up and I'm 11% of the way. Inter

I've been trying to get into the game all day. It's downloaded 3003kb after 8 hours. My connection typically downloads at 20+MB a second on my current wireless connection.(motherboard ethernet port blew, used to download 20+GB a second with t hat)

This is extreme not right man..This is the slowest patch download ever!!! Plus I am forced to use a VPN only for STO which sucks!!!

For those of you who have problems it is perhaps interesting to know that the patches are downloaded from a different set of servers than the game servers. Depending on your geographical location you may see different IP-addresses than me since I suspect the patch servers are mirrored by Level3 and hosted close to the users.

$ host level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com
level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com is an alias for level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com.c.footprint.net.
level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com.c.footprint.net has address 8.254.223.126
level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com.c.footprint.net has address 8.254.178.254
level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com.c.footprint.net has address 8.254.212.254

Game is hosted on dozens of servers on the 208.95.184.0/22 network. From my location, the latency to the patch servers is only half of that to the game servers (~60ms vs. ~120ms) confirming that these are widely geographically separated networks. If you find yourself having communication problems to both of these networks you might want to investigate potential problems with your own equipment rather than assuming that both server networks are experiencing failures at the same time.

I gotta disagree.. Because everything else and other MMO's work just fine..Its only STO that has issues..Yesterday it connected fine, miraculously, today it cont even get the launcher..

STO wont die because of quality but may die because of the number of people who cant get into the game..Sad but true..
