My launcher does a 0KB/5036KB with the patched being way less than the received AFTER I exit a game session and the launcher closes. BEFORE a session was 4713 MB patch, which is fully downloaded now. Trying to figure out the after now.
Yeahhh, this game has a 5000KB semi-patch before logging in at the mo and a post semi-patch of the 4713MB after I log off. Every time since the update. I'm just hoping it's resolved in time like many of the semi-patch/non-patch glitches that crop up in the game from time to time over the years.
Who knows, maybe it'll resolve with todays patch...
Patcher is meant to use the files from the prepatch to save you from dowloading it all on patch day, it's never worked for me and always tries to download it all again on patch day, I watch my router and can see the data coming down.
I do however keep my tribble install up to date, as the patcher can see those files and transfers them across to my holodeck install, and I'm all patched and ready to go after only having to download 107 MB today.
New ground weapons with new graphics, new emotes, new kit modules with new graphics, new space weapons with new graphics, 4 new ships with their textures, models, special animations (Like the spinning saucer section), regular animations, a new addition to the upgrading system, and a new mission that's one of the most advanced we've ever seen in the game, multiple weeks of bug fixes, some new imports to the foundry, and a few other things I don't think I have to mention.
You're welcome to go through the code yourself and figure out what it all is, if you must. Most of us already know, however.
Assimilating all the "8 gb patch" threads. Seriously, folks, search the forum before making a new thread... But don't necro.

There is a lot more than 3 ships and some bug fixes in the patch. There is for instance the entire Reengineering system, plus a whole lot more. You should really read the patch notes.
Yeesh, the patch seems to be applying pretty slow. I started the launcher around 1.5 hours ago, and it's only at 47%. And yeah, I'd downloaded the pre-patch.

There must have been some tweaks, but patching straight after maintenance is always slow due to demand on the patch server.
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
I downloaded the entire pre-patch. I'm purely guessing here but it seems as though the pre-patch is downloaded, it obviously does not apply to the game files. Therefore, the patch files are sitting on my hard drive in limbo. So, when I use the launcher, my PC connects to the server to determine where the patch files should be applied. This is relatively quick compared to doing so WHILE downloading if I had started downloading everything right now. The reason that I know this is that the GB amount will not change for a couple of minutes before showing that 3 of the 8.7GB was patched in about 1 second.
So, while your launcher may say that 8.7GB needs to be patched, that DOES NOT mean that 8.7GB needs to be downloaded if you already downloaded it.
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

It's patching sequentially for me. Each restart is downloading exactly from where it left off last time.
...wow... downloadspeed down to 65kb/s!
sorry cryptic, but your infrastructure is kinda meh
all other clients like steam, battle.net, uplay, origin and so on gives more than 10mb/s speed!
There's thousands of people downloading from the patch server and you expect it to handle 10Mb/s!?

Not to mention that the patch is downloading super slow, about 1/2 of my uncapped 60Mb line which normally gets 69+. They need to give some meth to the hamsters.

These are the voyages of the U.S.S. Pioneer...
last week I downlaoded a pre-patch of somewhat 8GB
so if i hadnt done that would I now dl 16GB?
ia any1 here who didnt do the pre patch and now downloading 16GB?
just bc the pre patch was 8GB and now im loading 8GB aswell im kinda confused if its working as intended
I do however keep my tribble install up to date, as the patcher can see those files and transfers them across to my holodeck install, and I'm all patched and ready to go after only having to download 107 MB today.
i have a 100mbit fiberchannel internet, but your client patches with 200-500kb^^
don't you have servers in europe anymore?
but the biggest part in any game are always textures!
i don't believe, that the reengineering system needs a few gig new code lines

Where are the patch notes?
Edit - Never mind, I found 'em.

Although that it the amount to be patched not downloaded, which is usually less.
As long as they don't do the usual shenanigans of 2-3 maintenances after I'm in with a chance of seeing whats what tomorrow for sure.
From the patch notes...
"Weapons and Bridge Officer Powers no longer automatically slot onto a player’s power tray."
Well it's about damn time although will stuff like the fireworks still get slotted?
Do we have to buy the sounds now?? Lol... Sound packs for your weapons?

i'm pretty sure that the other companies have more downloading customers at any given time, but they still can maintain good download speeds!
and my download speed for this patch is getting worse and worse^^
i don't expect 10mb/s but 20-50kb/s just sucks
