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

    If the devs can't get us back on-line by the end of this week, I call on them to convert Tribble (the test server) to an equal yet alternate server, set it to season 7 and let us in! In fact, why not do that right now? Tribble is completely independent of Holodeck so they can purge it of season 8, restart a snapshot of season 7, and stop our complaining while they take their care to fix season 8's super-bug.

    Why can't they just roll back to season 7 until they can fix this error?

    That's right. Tribble should restart season 7. If the devs can't get a good number of us back on-line after 7 days now, all because of a game launcher crash-to-desktop super-bug, I call on them to convert Tribble (the test server) to an equal yet alternate server, set it to season 7, and let us in! I have no interest in laser-toting dinosaurs or a one-episode (Voyager) species. And the forums ain't cuttin' it. We want game.

    Tribble is completely independent of Holodeck. So purge it of season 8, restart a snapshot of season 7, and get us back into the game! Meanwhile, the devs can take their patient care to fix season 8's super-bug properly, without whining from us. Perhaps we won't be able to function as part of our fleet but, hey, no different from our present dilemma! We could claim rewards, buy Zen, and have fun! Is it possible to simply give us a new home, for now? It sure would beat the feeling of being stuck in a transporter regeneration cycle....

    twas The Weekend After Season 8

    Twas The Weekend After Season 8 Launch
    And All Through The Servers,
    Not A Leper 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 Lepers ..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 Lepers 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 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 Lepers Back In The Star Trek Universe Where We Belong!
    Or Damn Me If I Don?t Mean It?.i?ll Write Another Song!!
    :eek:

    Nolan here,

    Hey all with the Crash problem upon STO loadup or Character Select Screen ...

    TRY THIS, IT WORKED FOR 1 COMPUTER IN MY HOME THAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AS YOUR ALLs' ISSUE ALSO. MY CPU WOULD STALL ON A BLACK COLORED SCREEN AT STO CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN THEN CRASH...

    Step 1 :: Right click on your Star Trek Online Shortcut >> and properties > Open File Location >> find the 'localdata Folder' > enter it > and DELETE THE >> GamePrefs.pref FILE COMPLETELY.. Recycle the dam thing lol...

    Step 2 :: Then, Double click on yer STO shortcut, and watch the Patch Launcher small window Open in middle of screen ...

    Step 3 :: Click on the small word ' OPTIONS ' at top right...

    Step 4 :: Uncheck Fast Start (if checked) , Uncheck Force Verify, and CHECK >> SAFE MODE >> then hit SAVE...

    Step 5 :: Now type login username and password ...

    Step 6 :: With safe mode checked, you SHOULD getta small pop-up asking ' if you want to start STO with lowered graphics settings > Yes or No/Default settings... PICK YES TO LOWERED SETTINGS >> BUT DO NOT CHECK THAT LITTLE CHECKBOX AT BOTTOM (to remember your selection for 1 months time).

    Step 7 :: Your STO SHOULD now open in a SMALLER WINDOWED WINDOW , rather than Fullscreen... This CAN get you back in to a successfully launched/loaded Character Select Screen, but NOT GUARANTEED.

    Wish you all luck , and hope for the Devs to fix the Login and Character Select screen bugs ASAP , we're all routing for you ALL > Friends and Fleetmates...

    I'm starting to wonder if this is what Imperfect World Entertainment is doing to Cryptic behind the scenes.

    Hi there, I hear there is a party over hear .... :o

    Ticket : 131116-001469

    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...

    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...
