Hmmm... so how many times am I going to need to download this 2 gigabyte (2074 mb to be exact) pre-patch? Three times as of now. :rolleyes:

    How many series of tubes did it take to transfer all that?

    Was a dump truck involved?

    On a serious note, something's up with the patching. My client launcher seemed to randomly restart last night at random points.

    I'm in the same boat man, although it seems to have stopped the past couple of times I've logged in. That doesn't mean it's done. It'd be nice if I could stay in long enough to do something. 1 minute or less sever time is getting old fast.

    Actually, Tribble is less than 900 MB. It patches 11GB, but it doesn't need to download that much.

    What version of the launcher do you have (should show in the bottom of the window)?

    Like I said it's stopped repatching the same thing the past couple of times I've logged in, so maybe it's got it right. *edit* Still getting DC after a minute or 2.

    i've had this happen a few times myself, the first download was successful so i just quit the other ones, i didn't really fancy waiting for an hour to download what i've already got, if your first download was successful just do what i did

    Thanks for the reports, we are investigating now.

    Yeah, happened to me again today.

    After you download the patch go into the Live folder and copy the prepatch folder to a safe location. This way if it gets deleted again you can just restore from the copy instead of having to download the patch again.

    I have something strange happening with the same version of the launcher. Upon launching the game it downloads a 16mb patch and does something with PhysXloader.dll. Then after playing the launcher comes back up and says it is mirroring the same file.

    I noticed this too. After quitting the game the prepatcher launches and doesn't do much (cause I have already have the patch). When I run the launcher it then downloads a 16MB patch. This happens every time. If I run the launcher without entering the game it's up-to-date. Quit the game, re-run the launcher and there's a 16MB patch every time.

    Same here, which is why I haven't been logging on since the 2nd time it started downloading.

    Yeah, mines downloading again tonight and downloads when I log on.

    It's CL_2010_03_17_15_26 I'm having the same problems, downloading everytime I log off and back on, and I know I downloaded the full thing once.

    Also, when I don't download the huge patch over and over again, it makes it to where Xfire doesn't detect the game.

    Mine tried to download the patch three times. First time I got a launcher error about 2/3 of the way through. Then I would get 16mb patch when I longed in the next time only to have the launcher attempt to download the entire patch again. I did not have anymore errors but it still attempted to download two more times when I logged off. The third one must have took as I haven't had it attempt it since. At least not the last time I logged off last night nor this morning.

    I don't think it takes up space, I think it replaces the downloaded files, I could be wrong though.

    That is impossible since the patcher PATCHES 2 gig but only downloads about 180 megs. Lets try and stay in the realm of reality here ok? It does not download even 10% of 2.1 gig.

    5x now downloading this thing, tho it seems to be just a single file, Xin something something, and a coupla others i think related to DX. first 2x it was the full prepatch, but each time when logging in, there's a 16MB patch incoming too, and that's been 4x. what's going on here?

    No you are entirely wrong. I watched it download 2074 gig. It really does download that much.

    It has now tried FIVE times :rolleyes:

    I caught the launcher downloading a 2gb patch and restarted the launcher, it changed to a 16mb patch. I easily recreated it by logging into and closing the game. Closing the launcher while it is still checking the version and before it starts patching appears to not trigger the patch when you run the launcher again.

    Yes, you get a 2074 mb download on quit and a 16 mb download on start-up... like I said, "STO ate my internetz" :D
