I can't get the game to patch correctly...I keep getting error 36: a file was locked that could not be opened for writing...then it restarts and does it all over again...:eek: Please correct or tell me how I can correct....Thanks...
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
I think I must be the only one (or one of few) that had no probs patching at all. It was all done in about a minute and a half. But then again I do have a download speed of 76Mbs.
...as suggested by kawasakizx10rr in the thread about how slow it is, go into your .../cryptic/Star Trek Online/Live/Cache file, delete everything there and then try again. It changed my patcher from reporting 80meg/138 patched and crawling in the trasnfer. Instead it reported 10meg or 38 patched, and it transfered the needed files in about a minute.
I deleted all 3 hog files, no change what so ever, 1k every 3 second and speedtest tells me I run 19 ms and 14mb download speed, f u cryptic for your constant patches without a dedicated ggod server to handle them
Fictional conversation in a secret location.
The true handles have been disguised for anti flaming reasons.
Voice of reason:- Err boss we have a problem.
Cashy Man:- 10-1000, 11-1000, 12-1000, 13-1000. I'm a little busy at the moment but whats the problem.
Voice of reason:- Well the players are experiencing slow patching again.
Cashy Man:- Yes its happens now and then.
Voice of reason:- Well shouldn't we do something about it?
Cashy Man:- Our experts have looked into the last 3 or 4 times it has occured and made suggestions for sure.
But as a buisness we need to prioritise our resources to get the best return for our time and money.
Voice of reason:-Erm! yeah I am aware of all that but would it not benefit both us and the players to try to fix these issues.
Especially when we are releasing a new lock box or feature?
Cashy Man:- If we lived in a perfect world :-) yes but its not is it?
Our metrics have shown that we lose very few players to these issues and any we do lose are more than replaced by new or returning players interested to see the new shineys or feature.
Voice of reason:- Oh! OK! But we must be losing money on the day of slow patching.
Cashy Man:-You are correct some players will log out and try later or maybe the next day and many of these may have been tempted to spend and their cash would be in our accounts earning us more cash.
This may have been a considerable sum but a drop in the ocean of the cost of sorting out the problem of slow patching or lag or Disconnects once and for all.
Voice of reason:- Our player base must be pretty understanding about these things I guess.
Cashy Man:-Errm! How long have you been here again?
Voice of reason:- Not too long to be honest.
Cashy Man:- Well here is the low down.
We are blessed with an amazing player base in general and an amazing IP.
Believe me when I say.
If they cannot get patched and in game spending like crazy today.
Then they will tomorrow or the next day or the next.
Now was that all?
Voice of reason:- Erm! Yes I think so.
Cashy Man:- Cool. Now where was I. Oh yeah. 14-1000, 15-1000, 16-1000, 17-1000.
All the time you spent writing that you could've just watched a Trek DVD or two and then come back to play.
As it is, this one will just get merged with the other "slow patching" thread.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
will we be able to get tomorrow today's free ships if we can't enter the game right now?:D
Unfortunately not -- everything is on a schedule that was patched in last week. You still have over 20 hours to get in-game and claim them, though.
From what I can see, speeds have increased quite a bit and a large majority who were patching last time I posted are now in-game. Thanks for everyone's continued patience!
