. . . . . Awesome! Just played Sphere of Influence for the first time last night! That was fun! Just wish the rest of the NPC's had full VO's like Worf did. Many only had partial VO's that matched their dialog with an extra paragraph or two of unspoken dialog. Some had no speech in their dialog and then out of the blue Worf would have full VO dialog as a response or parley, throwing the feeling way off. So awesome to have Michael Dorn though doing VO's again! Huzzah! Looking forward to Season 8, for sure!

Prepatching is a good idea. While it may not be a "new" idea, I can't remember this game ever doing this before and I've been playing for over two years. So, kudos to the team for this.
I can log in just fine, play till my hearts content and still have to patch when i close the game...what gives? A response would be great... but this among other things will likely go ignored like many other things that go wrong and Craptic chooses to ignore.
They probably just havent announced it yet, but usually when this happens the launcher is doing a pre patch, they have done this in the past a week or two prior to a big content update, usually seasons. I think they will tell you its working as intended. In any case just leave it up and let it do its thing!
yeah, but this time it constantly trying to download a patch with no success, it happened before, they had corrupted file on server, they acknowledged and fixed it quite deftly
no this time however
Now release it already! I wanna complain about all the bugs and how they might have been found if you hadn't rushed the release to make moar moneyz moar quickly
"So my fun is wrong?"
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
not sure if its just me or if anyone out there is seeing this.
for the last 3 days every time i log on or log off my launcher updates.
is any one out there seeing this as well?
Seriously, every single time I enter the game (or after I leave), the launcher feels the need to download and patch ca 5-8%, then goes to 100%. Obviously you guys forget a 'Done' flag.

My launcher/STO is just updating itself with a 5576MB patch........
Same here!!! I gather it'll take another good 10 hrs or so for the patch to download!! Only 21% done as of yet.
What I don't understand is why are some of the others getting a patch file of approx 2GB or so, while the rest are getting an update of 5576MB?? Strange!!
Is the launcher supposed to do this? Mine started on 11/05/13 and now it is patching when I log off. If there is a way to fix this where it does not how? Did I change an option inadvertently? I assume it isn't supposed to do this without fail.
Thank you all in advance.

Every time you exit, you'll still get a pre-patch pop up as it's checking to see if you have the latest pre-patch version. If you do, it should close out fairly quickly.
If there is nothing new to pre-patch, it would close after a few moments, as you described, and not go from 0-100% again. The few "MBs" you are seeing is the client reading the data and looking to see if it's up to date.
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
After exiting game log in automatically logs in, so far it's only caused one instance of the game to bring up the game stopped working please report to cryptic. However this is likely to cause a memory leak and either cause a memory dump on the computers or crash the game as the launcher is trying to re-launch the game at either exit of the game or log off.
No formalized Tribble Test Weekend, however the current plan is to provide a new, free Tribble as reward at S8 launch
Cheers,
Brandon =/\=
so does this mean everyone will get the tribble like last time, if so there is not much of an incentive to go on tribble without some reward other then to check out the new stuff but certainly not enough to warrant spending very long there.
It does not bother me too much as I have spent well over the 1hr testing already, I just enjoy seeing what`s new but I can see it bothering a lot of people as it did last time when a lot of players spent well over 1hr testing over the tribble weekend and then you gave the reward to everyone.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Allowed to patch, however still continues to load the patch again, likely patch will not take effect till Nov. 12 otherwise the patch continues to reload itself until the next update or taken out of exit game shut down process.
Pre-patching for Season 8 has been enabled! Upon logging out of Holodeck, the launcher will pop up again and start the pre-patch download.
Cheers,

It seems the Season 8 pre-patching (unlike how this done on, say, STEAM itself: in one foul swoop), is done in many small chunks, delivered each time when you start/leave the launcher. It wasn't clear from your words that this is what is happening.
Well, either that, of the launcher is stuck in a perpetual patch download loop.

Thank you for the time...
Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
That should just be the game verifying files.

THe game is pre-patching.
