Same here. I've just changed steam to not auto update, but its still go to finish this update before I can play. Not amused with steam.

well not really suprised by this... i can imagine their office right now.. trying to cope with thousands of people hitting their servers..

or some glitch

and they're being balled at by the management

Frustrating, I was already logged in and on a mission. Completely expected at headstart though. Shows how many pre-orders they sold.

I would have assumed Steam just opens the STO client for this stuff?

All I would suggest using steam for is getting the key.

I thought so too? I was sure that is how it worked with Champions Online...guess I was wrong!

You can bypass steam and use the launcher in the directory I believe

JGBR · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:03

How?

Clairvoyant · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:06

its up im in

Cozman · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:07

would appear Steam is redownloading the whole thing again ... all 10 gigs ?

maybe the Steam version beta and retail are different with different keys which may explain why we cant log in and we have to re register a new key with the final version ? ... im just guessing of course

I just did this and it now wants to download a 10GB patch! :eek:

Crixus00 · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:09

I think Steam has ****ed us

Just checked my C:/ steam/ steamapps/ common folder and clicked on properties and it says 228mb!

Have I got to dl the whole thing again??

2StepSteve · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:11

Damn only just got paid today... so I can't preorder this anymore and get in on the 4 day advance head start? Been looking on steam but no trace of the 4 day head start.

Edit: Hmm no I see it! Can I still do it?

Moley · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:12

In now, just going through start mission.

JGBR · 29 Jan 2010 at 19:14
