[Kinda solved] Stuck at patching, request support

Hello,
I'm hoping someone from support will read this.

For the past 2 months, whenever I try to launch the game on my desktop PC, I'm stuck at the pre-launch patching. I rarely get over 3% and even that takes long. My internet connection - apart from STO - is perfectly fine. I can even patch and play STO on my laptop via the same connection!

I did that tracert-thingy and it gave me this.

Thanks.

    Me too.... Glad to see that I'm not the only one. I even tried to do a clean load, by erasing the game on disc, run a defrag and debug and tried to download the whole game again.

    Nothing happened.

    Support isn't even available... They must have crashed the game bigtime.

    I seem to have (sort of) solved the problem.

    It seems to be an issue with the realtime protection of Windows Defender and/or any other protection software running on your computer indeed.

    I disabled my normal protectionware and made sure that the Windows Defender realtime protection is disabled too.

    I'm now patching at a normal, steady rate. No stops, no hiccups whatsoever.

    While I'm happy that the game is patching, I'm absolutely appalled that the launcher/updater can't cooperate with Windows Defender! I'm still deciding whether I think it's hilariously bad or simply outrageous tbh.
