When does the season one patch go live??

I don't want to keep downloading a preload patch that dissappears.

I downloaded the preload yesterday and.....
I just checked the preload patch and it says its only 312mb in the folder.

What happened to the other 1.2GB?

or is the preload only for executing the patch???

    Now the 25th..maybe the 30th after that.

    Honestly, don't know. They tell us one date, then change it as a oops. You can play all the new stuff, save that which you need to buy at the c-store, on tribble.

    I can wait for the new stuff. lol

    I just want it to stop prompting me to preload , if I download it once that should be it.

    I have a download limit, so I was hoping that the patch wouldn't disappear.

    It would be good if someone from Cryptic could explain what this patching proccess is doing, so you know if the prepatch worked or not.

    I don't understand why the Folder isn't the size its supposed to be .

    Does anyone know if those 16mb patches delete the preload, it seems to prompt for the preload after downloading those.

    Cheers

    Ok here goes....this cane frustrating but on the main sto web site they posted that it will be anywhere between the 18 and 31 march. They want to get as many bugs fixed as possible. Ok for your second question. The pre load patch is there to make downloading the season 1 update faster. It will be given in chunks to you. That way when those files are needed for the update they don't require down loading. Hope I was clear enough for you if not let me know I can explain it a bit better as I am using a blackberry to write this .....lol. Damn crackberry.

    for those who don't know how to keep that pre-patch, go to the star trek online installation folder and navigate your way to the Live folder within that. In that folder there will be one called prepatch, simply rename that prepatch2 or move it to another location if you wish and then return it to normal once the patch goes live.

    Once you have done that simply close the prepatcher window that comes up after the game is closed and you will only have to download it prepatch once.

    You might have been looking at the proposed release for The Cure. It still says ~the 25th.

    They have given the dates 18th-30th. This basically means that you can expect it within those two dates or indeed on one of those dates. Very unlikely they will give a patch on the first date and the closer you get to the latter date the more likely it is you will get it. I believe we will see the patch on 24th next wednesday (random guess :p)

    personally i think that all of these pre-patches are secretly the season 1, but just in chunks and the 31st there's going to a tiny lil patch that will combine all of these pre-patches together and then POW you have the new update =o
    it's like magic!!!
    and elephants!
    magical elephants!!!
