Launcher Not Responding

What is going on with the patch server? I have not been able to get the launcher to load past the connection 1 and 2 try stage to log in for the last 4 hours.

Has anyone seen any information on this from the developers?

Thanks

    I'm having the same issue... again. I'm not sure, but this log in problem seems to come after an update. My usual 'fix' of powering down my router/modem isn't working. Heck I even tried replacing the STO*.exe launcher that was suggested in another forum. No luck. Any thoughts. Hello, Cryptic Tech Support, it's me, Gamer, are you there?

    I'm also having this issue. The autoupdate says it's trying to update the launcher, then an error message pops up saying it's unable to establish a connection to the Patch Server.

    Pages and pages of this problem and no word from anyone at Cryptic or Perfect World. Good to know that paying for a Gold membership is absolutely worthless, won't be repeating that mistake again.

    There are a few responses in this thread by the PR guy. Needless to say, he knows about as much as the rest of us.

    Comforting to know that the issue is not isolated to me alone. I shall simply have to wait for the developers to resolve the issue. It says in a big red box on the home page, that they are aware and working to resolve the issue.

    I've the same issue but not any message. The system says my internet connection doesn't work. IT's not true because if it was how could I post a message right now.
    Cryptic should answer why there is so much lags, why there is so much "server is not responding" why now launcher is off. Too many technical problems from Cryptic... They should remind we pay for the game.

    you guys that got it working again are lucky. I have had the problem for over a week now and still no fix or much response from tech support. I wish they had a number to call in to as i would gladly sit on hold to get a chance to talk to a real person about the issue.

    Patch Server still unreachable for me. Not even restarting all hardware involved worked.

    The problem seems to be localized and I apparently happen to be unlucky enough to be in one of the locations affected.

    Haven't been able to play STO for a day now. Please assist.

    The thread you have linked has been closed because the problem it's resolved ( LOL )....it's a pity that that problem is still affecting very much gamers...(RESISTENCE IS FUTILE! ) so it's not resolved!:mad: i just wanna know if it will be fixed for Italian players or if I can simply leave the game...

    this is not a question..... i have figures out why the update launcher will not load on star trek online some peoples computers and they time out!!! it recently happened to my friend and it took us 3 days to figure out but what he did was log into his account from another computer and account guard asked for an authentication code from email which was used... but then the original computer/browser was deleted from the account so my m8 had to log in to the account guard and re accept their computer/browser

    go to

    http://sto.perfectworld.com/

    login then click on my account



    The Account Guard tools are on the secure portion of the website, and require a second login. To get there:

    Click "Create/Manage Subscriptions"

    Log in to the secure site
    Click on "Main Menu" in the upper right of the box.
    Click on "Manage Account Guard"

    if at any point it asks you for a password that has been emailed to you you have done it

    you should see that your computer id has been added to the list so you can now play!!

    cmon thats gotta be worth a few dlithium!!!!
