    I think what bothers me the most is that Cryptic keeps ignoring the problem. They work on new ships and new content while overlooking the main problem. Their servers. Which have become somewhat of a joke among players. I think it's because shiny new ships attract new players. Server stability doesn't. It would just make the people who already play the game happier. Which they don't need because, let's be honest, who's going to leave and stop spending money because of "Server not responding" messages? I love the game and am not going anywhere. But I spent an hour rubber-banding across Ker'rat last night. And that makes me pissy.

        Getting .1MB every 3-5 seconds here

        Same here. :( At this rate, it will take another 4.5 hours or so to download the patch. After 6 hours since the patch started, I'm calling it the day -- a very disappointing day, at that.

        Patching speeds continue to improve for STO, and more players are getting in-game. Thanks for your continued patience.

        A lot of us are having this same issue, not much you can do but wait I'm afraid, the devs know about it though

        Alright.. This current patch is clearly being distributed in two stages. First part was about 440 meg and it patched quickly, but then when I hit 88.2% and about 70 meg into the next patch it slows down, and I don't mean slows down a little.. I mean slows down to dialup speeds with long lags of nothing being receieved... So I restart it... This time it's telling me it has 80 meg of 138 meg needed to patch and it won't make it further than 2 meg of data transfer before it starts slowing to a crawl again.

        Seems the cluprit is indeed the shaderCache.hogg file.

        The .hogg files seems to like causing problems, seem to remember one causing problems during LoR launch too...

        It is their servers, possibly struggling to match the amount of people downloading the patch at the same time

        Stuck at 88 too, if I were in a time travelling Delorean that would mean something, as it is I am annoyed.
