Its not only that I'm sure, its more like making sure there a commonality that will accomidate every conceivable computer combination so that it works for everyone. That's the biggy I'd think.. and as I'm sure you know, there are so many combinations of systems put together.
I'm talking about the patch a month ago, not last week, are you too?
Totally Agree.
Cryptic has already confirmed the problem is on their end.
Some people have even re-formatted their hard drives.
When, (or if), they come up with a fix, I wonder how many are not going to be able
to get in because they've managed to TRIBBLE up their own perfectly good systems.
Last time... Cryptic has already confirmed the problem is on their end.
So, we should basically just sit back and wait for a fix, huh?
I've waited all weekend, since Friday morning, to be precise, so waiting a little bit longer, hopefully only until sometime tomorrow, probably won't bug me that much...

Cryptic definitely has a problem with half of STO gamers able to log in with no problem and the other half stuck with no way to log in. I don't see Cryptic fixing this problem. I think they rolled the dice and decided that if they can't fix it, that they probably aren't going to bother to fix it.
I'm not criticizing Cryptic but this failure is worse than the failure of the Obamacare website.
They have to fix it otherwise they run the risk of breach of contract lawsuits from the lifers as they bought a subscription based on the life of the game....
And to answer your question, the sto "agreement", is a no refund policy.
However, if you've paid with a credit card (I'd say anytime in the last month),
you should be able to call them (CC Company), and contest payment.
They are really very good about refunding bogus purchases.
(ie: A game that can't actually be played).
Same would apply if you've purchased a "Lifetime Membership" recently.
A few of those actions would probably do far more for getting the Fleets of Lepers back online than posting error codes here...you'd be speaking their native language.
I dont know about PWE but another game I used to play if you so much as hinted at contesting a charge you made they immediately banned your account and IP from there games permanently.
Im against us making a Leper fleet. The way Craptic handles things on here theres the real danger of us actually infecting or damaging something on the servers or the fleet holdings. Ill make a channel on chat named "Voice of the Lepers" (VotL or Vol) as soon as we get in game, which will be somewhere before New Year, but the New Year 2015 . It will be free to join for all the Lepers in here who enjoy the Leprous way of life in a Leprous way.
Admiral Deaftrav points the newcomers to the session being hosted outside the Cryptic city where the mobs numbering tens of thousands are gathered, huddled over campfires, dreaming of joining the city's celebrations of Season 8.
Finally seeing someone with a similar issue. Tried reloading, reinstalling, letting it check the files 3 times to make sure I had them all and nothing. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.
I'd be willing to bet that this won't be fixed in the short term. It's obvious that Cryptic doesn't even know what's wrong with the launcher. They know there's a problem but they don't know how to fix it.
possibilitiesare a thing of hope,sometimes it drives us toward something better
Deaftrav is badgered by many people who query up to the microphone screaming for a developer to come solve their problems when there's a search feature and a mob stating there's a major problem with the game
I am joining the mobs of people screaming WE WANNA PLAY STO DAMMIT!:D

You are just hoping nobody blew on the seat or that all the toilet paper is gone.
Still no luck, no matter what I try. I think my tears have shorted out my keyboard.

I just got in for the first time since launch. I set the launcher to safe mode. The game crashed when a load screen came up in a foundry mission: 26704127
A TIME TO SEARCH: ENTER MY FOUNDRY MISSION at the RISA SYSTEM Parallels: my second mission for Fed aligned Romulans.
Twas the weekend after Season 8 launch
And all through the servers,
Not all of us was gaming, not even a little farming.
The logins and passwords were typed in the game launcher with care,
In hopes that Star Trek soon would be there.
The gamers were nestled all snug in their chairs,
While visions of aliens danced in their heads.
And my hot busty first officer and I in my captains hat,
Had just settled in for a new Dyson map.
When out on my den there arose such a clatter,
My wife sprang from the next room to see what was the matter.
Away went the login window it flew like a flash,
an up popped a crashed ticket number, on the keyboard did I mash.
What could have gone wrong I could not know,
It could not be the tribble problem, for weeks they have known.
When, what to my computer monitor should appear,
But a forum full of complaints from Season 8 unlucky gamers ..Oh dear.
With a special post acknowledging our aches,
I knew in a moment it must be BranFlakes.
More rapid than eagles his fingers they typed,
And he posted, and shouted, and tweeted the hype.
"Now Forrest Gump! now, Rainman! now, Drooler and Cross Eyes!
On, Lazy! On, Loopy, on Drippy and Steve!
To the top of the stairs! to the end of the hall!
Now dash away! Dash away! To the servers ya?ll"
As nerds after the newest Ipad the Dev?s did fly,
When bugs they met, they patched some I wont lie.
But not yet for the login in crashers it seems,
Yet they fixed the clipping of skirts for Trill and Caitians, their egos beam!
And on the forums the unlucky gamers still wait,
They patch, reformat, install and update.
They type and they post, they read and they laugh,
They've tried almost everything, except maybe a ritual sacrificing of a calf?
They read from other topics about dinosaurs other captains shoot,
And they read of new reputations and new loot.
They hear of the new limited time tribble from mates,
And wonder if they will get to log in and claim it before its to late.
So as I get ready to call it a night, I try to stay merry!
While I hope the bug gets fixed tomorrow by the magic server fairy!
But I wont hold my breath, cause I don't look good in blue,
And even if there is no server maintenance, I'll try to login anyways like the rest of you.
And BranFlakes wherever you may be,
Keep them Dev?s at their desks working! even if they really have to pee!
Get us unlucky gamers back in the star trek universe where we belong!
Or damn me if I don't mean it?.I'll write another song!! :eek:
I dont know about PWE but another game I used to play if you so much as hinted at contesting a charge you made they immediately banned your account and IP from there games permanently.
Definitely something to think about. But I was just answering someones question about potential loss recovery.
(Not really a tone I want to set in this thread.),...
But say your kid talks you into coughing up $200 for a game.
The kid downloads it and can't play because of no fault of his own.
I'd basically give him till the last day I can make a claim on my cc to get it running,
and say, sorry kid, gotta do what you gotta do.
If the game co. wants to ban the ip for that, than it's probably not a co. you want to deal with anyways.
Wouldn't be for me anyways, I couldn't afford it.
Enough of that...
So let's tone it up a bit...anyone know any good Star Trek jokes?

Any idea what it might be?

I thought Obamacare was based on PWE......

Does anyone have a suggestion on what might work? I mean, is there anything I can do on my end or is this a bug?
