"2.6gig of data in total that was patched/changed, but only around 1.6gig downloaded. Always look at the "received" part rather than the "patched" part of the launcher window "
The download when I turned off on demand was 2.3 gigs with a total patch of 3.095 gigs.
When I first did the patch it was small like that. But, then I realized I had not turned off the patching on demand option. After turning that option off, I got the full patch all at one time.
The value depends on whether or not you have Patch On Demand activated or not. Some people prefer to patch each Map as they zone into it to save hard drive space. Others want the maps already in their computer to get faster zoning so they have larger patches.
I wasn't aware of the patch on demand thing, so I disabled it a few minutes ago. Started as a 2.9 GB patch now, but it;s going quickly. Over 33% done in only a couple minutes.
2239, wow turning off patch on demand does make a difference. Hey if it makes for quicker load times, I can afford to give up that kind of hard drive real estate.

Heck I just Download all to save from all the crashing issue I had when I zoned into a new Map .....lol
Normally I'm just patching on demand to get into game quicker. But since the server isn't up yet
I'll patch the whole shabang. Not sure what I'll do to pass the time until the server's up though,
but sure enough it won't be those 10h repeating stuff.
You can keep your Justin Biebers and your jars of dirt, thank you very much. :rolleyes:
I'm getting a bit fed up of waiting now, would be nice if a dev took a minute just to give us an update...in the mean time i think i'll forget about STO and play blops.

LOL i love that scene
Taking bets on us melting the server by the time they get back
Over/under is 12 minutes on my sheet.
This helps me pass the time.
Mine was only 668 megs and nothing more to D/L...
c'mon give us access. PLEASE
its a bit teasing letting us patch but not log in.
To all that say you have waited so long you will survive waiting another hour or two.
I know, you are right and shut up.
Please let me get my last 152MB

Sad thing is it is catchy and kinda entertaining. "Kinda," I have to stress "kinda" as the operating adverb in that first sentence.
To be honest I find this a far more entertaining way to spend ten hours waiting for Tribble to come on.
Must be working now, 'cause you all got real quiet.
i could watch that for 20 hours
