After logging in to the launcher, and clicking Launch, I see the Cryptic Splash screen (for a long time) and then the game crashes with the following message;
"Fatal Error: Unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to the Patch Server; The connection was idle for too long".
Same thing happened to Tribble the weeks leading up to S8
Don't worry, you have a different error than us.
You will find a fix and get back in the game.
I just won't be able to tell you until it's too late...
... I have no interest in laser-toting dinosaurs or a one-episode (Voyager) species. And the forums ain't cuttin' it.
While the Entertainment Committee will be sleeping tonight, creative inspiration is not available yet, thus the issue can't be resolved in tonight's dreams. We apologize, but we at least wanted to continue keeping you in the loop.
We appreciate your continued patience, and please know that we want to get you back laughing ASAP. It's our top priority, and the Committee that is able to work on a creative amusement solution is working as hard as possible to do so.
This is the latest update for now, and we will post to the thread as more creative
idea's become available...

Heres a scary thought imagine the devs cant fix the crashing issue till jan effectively making us miss out on the Christmas event :eek:

I've been having trouble with this game since the patch on Nov. 6th...have been trying to complete "The Other Side" mission only to encounter numerous crashes. Basically I can't target "The Guardian" because my graphic's for that npc are missing but everything else it present, I have tried the repair tool 3-4 times and reinstalled 2 times already.
Now I get a fatal error serializereadopen: invalid signature on file ./localdata/bin/dynsequences.Bin WTF did this game suddenly hit a black hole?

So how many of us "lepers" (who can't log-in to STO, ever since season 8 launched 7 days ago) are interested in buying 15% bonus Zen cards before the offer expires in 3 hours? Not me. That's an insult to our injury. Had I been able to log-in, I would have jumped at the chance. Please take note, PWE. Leaving us in limbo for 7 days is hurting us ... and now you too. Fix the game launcher bug!
I have fresh coffee & breakfast sandwiches for the Cryptic crew, as they show for work this morning. Enjoy, then please fix this issue today (not Thursday)!

So I had started a fleet a month ago yesterday.
I don't "random invite", and cringed, the few times
I've posted a recruiting message in zone chats.
A recruiter, I am not.
And after the latest crash, I am seriously considering making it a private fleet.
But, as I am a Persistent Officer, I have updated the sites fleet log today.
Just thought I'd share:
Whereas I can log in to the game with my severely underpowered laptop,
I can't actually play using it.
For example, it takes 15 seconds for the "Inventory" window to open,
3 seconds for each single letter to appear in body of a fleet mail.
(Typing the word "Sucks" takes 15+ seconds to actually appear).
For these reasons,...
It would be best to send me an out-of-game email if you would still like to join.
If it takes more than an hour to send a fleet invite, (ui on the laptop),
I'll load STO on a friend's pc (20 miles away), to get it done if necessary.
Quite frankly, if and when I'm able to get in again, the first text I want to see is...
[Mission] Accolade complete: Persistent Officer
[System] [ItemReceived] You received a new title choice: Persistent Officer
[System] [ItemReceived] You received a new Emote: Knowingly Nod
As of...11/18/2013
"The Fix" is still "Top Priority" at STO
Meanwhile, The U.S.S. Deceiver, still stranded in Battle Group Omega, awaits a tow.

Looks like Branflakes is out of their morning meetings. So far, we still got no fix but they are just getting started this morning so let's hope good news comes later today and they rush a fix out before the end of business or do a little overtime to get it out.
Hehe, yes Sir,
I'm tempted to go in the game with the laptop, and type into text chat,
Hey, you guys in the game are missing out on a really cool accolade!
(But that would take about 45 minutes...that's alot of letters.)
