    Same problem with me, I noticed that the patch code (the little white text where the loading bar is) isn't there before it crashes.

    Same error for me.
    Starting the gameclient.exe lets you login from the game but it gets stuck at "connecting to the account server" and then times out.

    Has anyone here gotten this problem and NOT applied the latest tribble patch before this issue showed up?
    Not sure when the last Tribble patch occurred so that's uncertain.

    Also, it seems to crash just as the launcher goes looking for the info to verify and/or patch.

    I was on Tribble less than twenty minutes ago, when I tried to get back onto Holodeck I got this error message and the Cryptic error reporter.
    I sent in an error report, report number is #11484446

    me as well. New tribble patch and now I cant login. Crashes as soon as I enter password.

    I'm having the SAME trouble! I'm a lifetime member but also have a f2p account. My lifetime account crashes every time I click engage but my f2p account is able to long in with no trouble. I've sent a ticket to the support team so hopefully something will get fixed soon.

    I don't even get that far.....I click login and as the launcher is loading it crashes.

    I played on Tribble about 10 hours ago and was able to log-in several times after that. I doubt this is the issue. Still, the crash happens on the patching screen, just after entering the password.

    *sigh*

    Hi Cpatains,

    I've passed this information along to the team and will update you with more information as soon as I have it.


    Cheers,

    I'd be willing to bet they're tribble patch borked our launcher. If they'd supply a link to the current holodeck launcher file, I bet that'd fix the issue. Unfortunately this got moved into the "self-help" section even though is a Cryptic issue.


    EDIT: Thank you Brandon!!! It's nice to know someone there is looking out for us - even us cranky old farts. :D

    Uploaded the files to my reply. Crashing on Patcher as well.

    Bypassing patcher and going to the gameclient.exe itself shows a timeout hitting login server.

    When bringing up the normal patcher, login screen appears as normal, enter login information and the next screen (patcher) immediately crashes showing no errors, just the submit bug report window (attached jpg)

    Running on:

    Windows 7 64bit
    i5 2500 cpu
    8gb ram
    gtx 460 oc

    no problems until this afternoon

    Same problem for me.
    (Installed Via Steam)

    Repo Steps:
    Launch Steam (if not running)
    Click on STO to bring up the launcher
    Log in to your account (for me i log in using Cryptic credentials)
    launcher logs in and goes tot he version check/patch engage screen and crashes.

    This to me seems like a problem when its checking for a version update.

    im also not getting a crash/debug error list, only the optin to submit.

    Only one possible problem with that theory: I completely uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled even into a different directory, just to be sure. Does the same thing.

    Yeah, I tried the same thing in hopes that it would work by bypassing the launcher. No go for me either. :(

    THANK YOU for posting here! This is very important to know. Now we know it's not the tribble patch.

    OK - now I'm frustrated. The extremely poor design of the support ticket system will not let me file a report of a problem.

    Cryptic - you have NO problem charging my credit card, so why can't I login to play?

    if its a cryptic issue, reinstalling wont change anything.

    I think if you could just point us to a clean copy of the launcher we'd be ok. Pretty sure your tribble update borked us.

    no... the game client doesnt crash but wont connect to the account server...more to it than the launcher IMO

    I am getting the crash immediately after logging in and before it even brings up the ability to select Holodeck, Tribble or Engage. Immediate crash after logging in and I don't use the Steam version. Had it installed since FEB09. Pretty strange considering had no issue last night.
