in Tribble - Bug Reports
That message in the title pops up whenever I try to launch tribble. This is the first time I've seen this and I've tried a few different things to fix it but to no avail thus far. Help plz!

    Last week: Tribble kept crashing to desktop during loading of the program...never saw any windows related alerts or errors.

    Even as the build on Tribble kept crashing, Holodeck was coming up just fine. STO Tribble did not work until a new Patch downloaded on Tuesday, March 27. That fixed that issue for me.

    They did not announced what changed with that patch...so it must be something they are working on. I know this does not help you at all. But it does help isolate it a bit... were you able to access Tribble last weekend?

    Just signed off Holodeck...still working. And signed on to Tribble after seeing this post in the Forums. Tribble is still working on my computer.

    Only weird thing I saw was: Windows asking me for security permission to allow STO access to the network/past the firewall. Tribble does not seem to know it already has permission. LOL!

    I had the same problem, but I solved starting game client on Steam.

    I have the same problem launching through Arc.

    However if I launch the patcher straight from the Star Trek Online Directory I have no problems (apart from a seperate win app control request)

    Hello for some odd reason i can no longer gain access to the Tribble servers, when i had just been on it about two weeks ago. This is the Message i keep getting when i log attempt to engage from the STO Patch Screen.
    This is the Message that pops up.

    "Unable to start game client: The operation identifier is not valid."

    Reported this same error in both the other Tribble forums as well. Second week now and still no access to the Tribble server. And yes, I have tried accessing using the game clients in both the x64 and x86 subdirectories for the Livetest server. I have completely deleted and reinstalled my Star Trek directories and ARC. Force Verified. absolutely nothing works. I don't think they care whether people have access to the server to be honest.

    The trouble is in ARC. try starting your game directly fromn the Start Trek Online directory You can copy the file to your desktop.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online.exe

    ***FIXED with the last ARC patch. You can again use ARC when accessing Tribble 4/17/2018. ***

    No, no it hasn't been fixed. I only use Arc for launching STO and I am still getting the error.

    When Selecting Tribble make sure you put a checkmark in STO Launcher Options at “use 32Bit Client”
