Strange Issue: Attempting to Patch after exit, No XFire Detection

I seem to be having a problem in STO. These issues appeared at approximately 1:30 PM GMT-7

First Issue: XFire is not detecting STO.

Is anyone else having this problem?

    yep same thing happened to me yesterday morning..
    after i exited the game..it started to auto patch...
    Started it straight away up again once it was done..and didnt notice any more lag issues...so i hope that patch has fixed the problem ..lol
    But when i did exti the game the second time...again it did start up the main window box as it was to download a patch..but it didnt..just opened checked and closed again by it self..

    I -think- this new patch after quitting might be a preload for Episode 4 or something. I've had that start up myself. They do this sort of thing with WoW too these days, let you preload the patch before it is actually activated to save you download time on the patches launch day.

    Otherwise I have no clue. :p

    Found a fix, you need to edit the Xfire game.ini and remove 2 ; I did each one and now it works for me

    Xfire game.ini (installed in your Xfire directory) can be opened with note pad etc


    XFire detected my installation, and would launch from XFire, but XFire In-Game did not work at all, and no time was being logged. I am on Win7 64bit. This is how I fixed it:

    I edited my xfire_games.ini file and changed this:

    Code:

    [6060_1]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Star Trek Online\InstallLocation
    LauncherExe=Star Trek Online.exe
    DetectExe=\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    ;PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ;ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    [6060_2]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\InstallPath
    LauncherExe=steam.exe
    DetectExe=SteamApps\*\star trek online\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    ;PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ;ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% -applaunch 9910 %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    [6060_3]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Star Trek Online\InstallLocation
    LauncherDirTruncAt=Star Trek Online
    LauncherExe=Star Trek Online.exe
    DetectExe=Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    ;PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ;ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    To this:

    Code:

    [6060_1]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Star Trek Online\InstallLocation
    LauncherExe=Star Trek Online.exe
    DetectExe=\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    [6060_2]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\InstallPath
    LauncherExe=steam.exe
    DetectExe=SteamApps\*\star trek online\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    ;PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ;ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% -applaunch 9910 %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    [6060_3]
    LongName=Star Trek Online
    ShortName=sto
    LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Star Trek Online\InstallLocation
    LauncherDirTruncAt=Star Trek Online
    LauncherExe=Star Trek Online.exe
    DetectExe=Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe
    PlayingDetectType=ByWindowSubstr
    ProcessWindowTitle=Star Trek Online
    Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
    InGameRenderer=D3D9
    InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|VALIDATE_USING_EXE_NAME|ENABLE_MOUSE
    DetectServer=False


    ( I took out the ; that comments out two of the lines in each section. I don't have a Steam installation of STO so I left that part alone. )
