Patch going VERY slow

I logged in tol check on my DOffs before going to work, and the patcher was taking its sweet time patching. It's only 527MB, but going at the pace of a 2 gig update. I was playing last night and everything was fine. I haven't changed anything since then.

It's been half an hour and it's only at 22%. I don't get it.

    You might not be the only one to try and patch it up. Have you tried to stop and restart the patching? It should continue where it stopped.

    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    NOPE.

    It got stuck at 88% for a few minutes so I closed the launcher and tried again. Now it's stuck at 61%.

    I'm convinced PWE doesn't want me to play.

    Tried again just for the hell of it...

    First it got stuck at 55%.

    Now it's stuck at 59%.

    PWE's piece of **** patcher is essentially NEGATIVE patching.

    It's always something. For once I'd like to JUST LOG IN. I swear they do this on purpose. Ever since Pay2Win went live it's been a struggle just to get into the game.

    And it would appear that I'm the only person who has had this problem. I must be stupid.

    I doubt you're stupid, if it's going that slow I would suggest doing a restart, close every downloader (peer2peer, torrents, etc) and try it again.

    You might want to cook yourself a nice dinner while it's busy :D .

    As has happened so many times before. Today's patch (8/15/2013) has stalled at ~85%. Now I know its not my internet connection. But it might be the number of players trying to download the patch. Which begs the question: Is PWE gambling on the fact that most of us will quit playing soon? Otherwise it seems appropriate that the patch servers might be due for at least a modest upgrade. Which I'm sure PWE/Cryptic can afford.

    Been stuck at 53% for about 20 minutes now. Tried to restart launcher, nothing.

    Glad to see that 100mb connection working out well for me.

    A minute ago my speed jumped significantly and got me all the way to 87.7%... but now it dropped to almost complete halt. I'm getting 1 kb every 15-20 seconds or so.

    So, any news on when the patcher/launcher service is going to be repaired?

    Been stuck at 54% now for 25 minutes. Tried to restart launcher, nothing works..

    Suppose I could go take my money and open some lockboxes in another game.

    Peace!

    It'sd not 'negative patching' - it's always picking up from where it left off previously and then showing the percentage of that patch. That said, if it's stalling at all for a number of people it indicates a patch server issue of some type.

    A connection speedtest shows that the team of hamsters who take care of my internet are fit and healthy. Seeing as I've been stuck on 59% for 10 minutes now must mean that the STO hamster is either dead or should be.

    Yeah... everyone's rushing in to claim the stuff they're complaining about. :rolleyes:

    Joke aside, 87% here. Not too concerned, I don't freak out if the game's down for a few more minutes than normal.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    88...

    It seems to be going at .02 MB/s.

    Edit: On average, that is.

    Sometimes it goes at .05, sometimes it goes at .01.
