    Does Champion Online have similar sized patches on an ongoing basis?
    This may give an indication on whether STO go Free2Play or not... the patch sizes may keep the STO running costs quite high, perhaps harder to do F2P model as compared to Champion Online...

    I've just reinstalled STO from DVD, but I STILL had to download 3.7 GB worth of patches!

    Plus hundres of megabytes of patches once every 2 weeks or so...

    (Sorry to have a slight tangent to original post...)

    i had to patch 800mb and had to download 630mb

    no idea why it was so huge for me unless something got deleted or corrupted as i guess it should have been a much smaller one (say under 50mb)

    I think STO uses the most downloads out of any MMO i've played, which isn't good for people with small download limits.

    The release notes for tribble are in the tribble forums.

    If you ever want to know exactly WHAT is being patched, just hit X on the patcher. It shows every file being modified, even the stuff you're not supposed to see yet :p

    The "patched" value on the launcher tells you the total size of the EXISTING files that are being patched (NOT the patch itself). The "received" value is how large the patch actually is.

    They are two different values. Please learn to distinguish them.



    For the record, the latest Tribble patch was 79.5MB in size, and patched existing files that totaled 846MB in size.
