OK so, when i hit the STO icon the launcher pops up and everything is normal. I log in and then when i hit "Engage", the game "starts" with the back screen with the big white letters saying CRYPTIC. This screen stays here FOEVER, my mouse is showing the little hourglass animation, and eventually a message pops up and says "Falal Error: Unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to Patch Server: The connection was idle for too long" <that is quoted EXACTLY how it says in my window. I disabled On-Demand patching the day it came out and it always worked better. I tried turning the on demand back on. I already run as admin because that used to cause chat problems for me. I have verified all files multiple times, restarted my computer, and im out of options... WTF am i supposed to do when i cant even get into the game?? HELP ME! Obviously i cannot submit a bug report. a laggy, buggy, game may be one thing, but hell i cant even get on the game to play it! :mad:

EDIT: Figures out to be that one of my Firewalls (gosh how annoying) randomly blocked the game from coonecting to the internet... gave it new permissions and abra kadabra it works!
