    If you could please send us DxDiag and HijackThis logs, that will help us to diagnose the problem. It'll be helpful to us if you tell us some of your computer's information, and PLEASE include any screenshots of any bugs or errors that you get.

    To create a dxdiag log, go to Start, click on Run (or Search if using Windows 7 or Vista), then type in dxdiag and press Enter on your keyboard.

    Click on Save All Information, then attach the text file to this ticket (If on a 64bit system, look for and click on the Save 64bit Dxdiag button beside the Save All Information button).

    To create the HijackThis log, go to http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html or http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis then download and install the program.

    Click Do a system scan and save a log file, then attach the text file to your reply.

    Please do not copy and then paste the text of these logs into your ticket.

    We'll take look at these log files and give you feedback on your issue.

    With all due respect Darth Panda this seems like an issue on Cryptic's side with STO as I logged in earlier this morning to STO fine, but later in the day, the STO launcher launces and allows me to enter my login password - authenticates fine; THHEN at the point it would display the Holodeck and Tribble buttons; it crashes and launches the Cryptic error reporting tool.

    HOWEVER

    I can launch and fully patch and log into Champions Online just fine - which is why I believe the problem has nothing to do with my PC setup and more to do with some sort of glitch or mis-configuartion at Cryptic's end since BOTH GAMES use the exact same launching and patching tech.

    So, it mught be a good idea to communicate this to Cryptic.

    This part is important. I only play STO. Would have never thought to list all games.
    Thanks!

    If you are still having issues logging in, I found this worked as well:

    On the main page where you login, click on the Options link on top. Then select Show All Games
    Restart the launcher

    Worked for me ;)

    The cryptic login solution did NOT work for me...

    I was able to login in 3 hours ago...now I get a "Crypticerror:Oops!" WTF is an OOPS error? seriously? couldn't design a better error explanation other than Oops? Oops is "Oops, we promised KDF game content and then dropped the ball"

    Then you must be one of the lucky ones. :eek:

    Submitted a ticket to PW support. Took me a few tries to realize I had a PW account from back in the day.
    Let's see what happens.

    I am experiencing the same issue. I restarted my computer and the game still does not launch. I am getting an error report box. First time in two years that the server has been up and I haven't been able to launch! I guess that's not a bad track record, but it's still pretty frustrating.

    This did not resolve the issue for me. I am still receiving the error report window and the launcher is crashing.

    This trick seems to work, no idea why though. Thank you to the original poster who found this, you are a stress /annoyance saver! Two thumbs up! :)

    This resolved the issue. Before you hit Engage from the launcher, click the "Options" link at the top right of the window. From there, put a check in the box that says, "Show All Games". You should be prompted to restart the launcher. Close the launcher, restart it, and you should be able to log in as normal.

    A mod should get this thread set so that the solution is the top post.
