    It always crashes at about 75% of the loading screen. I've pretty much tried every option in the launcher, but always with the same result.

    If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably some issue with older hardware/software. My computer is also pretty old (going on what, 8 or 9 years, now?).

    Uninstalled, prayed, begged, & offered sexual favors. Nonetheless, I cannot log on. Crashes just after cryptic loading bar screen, like many others, it seems. Me sad.
    Thank you. Have a lovely day.

    Is this just happening selectively or is it the majority of sto users effected...,? Do they plan to fix it?

    I understand people are having patching problems and a bit of us cannot even get past the loading screen.

    Since I don't see a "TRIBBLE, okay we'll bring the game down to fix it immediately!" can I assume that a fair bit of us are getting through and playing?


    *not sure why this ended up in federation gameplay, was pretty sure I posted this in discussion

    Count me in the number experiencing this. I am also on an old computer that barely meets minimum specs, running XP 64-bit of all things. Still, while I've always had to run on minimum graphics, it has always run flawlessly. I rarely ever crash and have none of the 'usual problems' that everyone seems to have. Until today. Hits 75% of loading bar and crashes to desktop.

    Another reason I think this is resource or memory related. I played from my office at lunch after the patch. That computer is a new build with plenty of horsepower. It had no problems with the new patch.

    so, it's a ram issue perhaps?

    Since the people who can't seem to get into the game's posts seem to number around 100, and there's several hundred thousand, if not million, players playing the game, I'm going to assume that the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority are in the game and playing regularly. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Dunno, it probably has to be more than that. If it were just running out of RAM it would hang, start swapping out to virtual memory, etc. This is just a hard crash. Maybe one of the updated files won't play nice with older video drivers or something.

    For the first time ever with STO, my patcher is stuck at about 112.5MB / 178.

    Ugh, started and stopped 3 times now ;(

    Try it 12 times over 8hours nothing beyond load screen and since we seem to be the minority they aren't concerned about fixing it!

    After the update today, I have been unable to log on to my STO account. I have no problems logging onto my NeverWinter account, so, I can't see what the issue is.

    How do you start up in safe mode? I've tried running the .exe with the usual switches and nothing seems to help.

    I launched the launcher in XP Compatability Mode SP2, and it appears to be working! The game is patching! If I can get in game, I'll let you guys know.

    Sure! First, navigate to where the launcher is. Then, right click it and go to Properties. In Properties, select the Compatibility tab. Enable Compatibility mode, and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 2)' from the dropdown list.

    It worked for me, so it's bound to work for at least some other people.
    No, it's not just older computers. I built mine last year, and is still pretty up to date.

    The team is continuing to investigate and I will absolutely post info once I have it. From initial investigations, this is looking to be an issue surrounding RAM. Thanks for your continued patience as we continue to investigate.

    Cheers,
