    i cant get in either. had a white loading screen, got to the login and then the launcher wouldnt load. now its just a white screen again
    *Me*Why don't you just step away from the weapons console. You and I both know that you couldn't hit that cube, even if it was right in front of us.
    *Junior Tactical Officer* But sir the cube IS right in front of us.
    *Me* EXACTLY! Its right in front of us and you still missed it! Just step away from the console.

    Ok so im playing happily testing out my D'deridex with the nukara space set when all of a sudden CTD now i cant launch the game because the launcher goes whit with a "Loading please wait".
    And it doesnt load up just a pretty white screen so idk since the failed pre patch last evening the launcher has been strange at time for me.

    And now its just not working

    I guess that explains the script errors and the very slow load of the STO launcher.

    It is possible to get around the launcher by going into your game files and in the test server sub folder, loading GameClient.exe, using this should load the game to the in game log in screen.

    The solution of exiting steam and run the program directly from the directory game works.

    It's not the Open Beta. This has been affecting me for almost a month now.

    Mine is trying to load. It brought up the window for the login info after a couple of minutes. When I hit the button to get into the game, the window stayed there a sec, then went all white so I'm assuming it's trying to load.

    I don't have the steam version, so I'm just going to let it sit there awhile, I'm sure it's just a lot of load going on. Didn't realize they shared the same login server, seems kind of... stupid to me.

    Guess whatever cuts costs.

    First happend to neverwinter (open beta) and now STO.I think their cheap internet connection just showed why is cheap.I did the mistake to quit STO to start neverwinter...bad idea :rolleyes:

    Just getting a white window, nothing happens at all :/ Been like that for 10 min now :(

    Really Cryptic?? Do you NEVER learn from previous instances, where this, or something very similar has happened to your Launcher??

    Better fix this before LoR launches, or there will be an angry mob :eek: :D

    But seriously, fix you Launcher ASAP Zulu.

    No the solution isnt running it without steam thats ridiculas. I am having a similiar issue as most of you i think. I click to boot the launcher and all it does is sit there doing nothing saying please wait loading and nothing happens.

    Well, I finally got to the login screen after quite some time, input my info, clicked log in, and now at a new white screen...

    Will update this post if anything happens...

    **EDIT**
    Just got into the Launcher proper, so it does seem to work, but albeit extremely slowly, and it's not exactly a blistering DL speed on Tribble either, so I have long wait to patch up it seems, wich makes me a sad panda :(
    **EDIT END**

    You can skip the launcher by loading the gameclient.exe up from your installation folder in the live sub folder or one of the test server sub folders if you want them instead. May still have issues connecting to the account server once in though.

    timeout connecting to account server......but it did partially work in circumventing the launcher.

    Ok not to get trolled but this seems like a case of no one seemed to care to bother to think that:

    "Hmmm open beta of neverwinter something that people might just be interested in... Lets take care of the server so that our other games won't suffer or so we won't have problems on launch day.."

    But wait that makes too much sense.. So I'll just go ahead and ask this question..is this what i'm should expect on LoR day? because if so i'll hold out on giving you my money for my Legacy Pack....I don't want to wait a day or a week or so before being able to log in and use it......


    Thanks and right when i thought you guys were on the right track.. -.-

    "Unable to establish connection to patch server". :(


    5th time in a row.

    Ok, looks like the patcher is actually trying to load and work now, been about 5-8 minutes. It's taking awhile, but it's actually trying to get something done. There must be tremendous load going on for it to be going so slow. I'm pretty surprised about this, because I would have thought STO had it's own dedicated login server.
