Any ideas guys?
Cheers,
Rick
i went through and deleted everything i could find related to STO from my firewall, registry, and certificates and still no luck i get the exact same error
any ideas?
IMHO errors like this are near to be a mistery for Cryptic developer too, I think this is due for some incoherent/inconsistent state of your pc due to ... a wong windows update? Or a shi**ty program like CCcleaner that remove some registry entry? Or ... a Criptyc update that gone wrong. I mean that the error can be caused by Criptyc software but also other "software library", for example like "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008" that loose some data due to some bad sector of your HD.
Sometimes this error are hidden, then verify all of your software, maybe others, like Office or windows media player can be affected by the same error.
Other times error will be introduced by new software, then try to remove ALL SW you installe after this error happens, and remember tha your antivirus and many SW will update by self, try to deactivate for some minutes.
Also let me say that a software is not just a couple of files copied to Hard drive, but is composed by many things, then is not a good idea to install on external HD and run from diferent PC, the software must be specifically "portable", and projected to be portabe (portable ... those made after often run bad). Microsoft DOT NET technology can create something like portable programs, but using old style of coding is better for backward compatibility but bad for portability.
You don't know how STO is made ... and, if the errors will cumulate at criptyc database server and a bad day you'll get your ship erased? Not good, isn't it?
My 2... or 4 cents
as for the external hardrive i really have no choice, my internet is limited to 10GB per month so i have to be able to upgrades things using others connections when needed
but still doesnt change the fact this error only happens on the 1 computer, everything works fine on my other
assuming something just got corrupted or something
