I've really never had so many problems with a game. They lost my account info (I had preordered the game at Gamestop) and after verifying the account they said that they couldn't find anything but my merged PWE account. After that I had a bug that crashed the game whenever I tried to login, took me about four hours to finally find a fix, then I get on today after eating and play for about 30 minutes and the game crashes. Oh well it could be worse, I could've actually paid for the game and then had them essentially lose the information and then tell me that wont give me my account status back because I can't give them my old game code or credit card info from four years ago... oh wait they did that too.
Yes folks, I answered nine of twelve verification questions only to have them deny me because I couldn't give them info about a credit card I haven't had in four years.
I was playing the new mission and didn't get a chance to finish it but it wasn't due to the server just had to leave promptly.
I got to the space walk part and all i could see was black........ only seeing the structures as black outlined by orange. Is this one of the problems that are being experienced?
I tried adjusted my video settings but nothing.
I acutally finished it and as soon as I entered the other side it was normal again...
Hopefully you can answer or help me with what I need to do - thanks.
graphics issues have been popping up like this many times for me, once every 15min or so, i doint know why i put up with it
And yes, your Windoze has many, many open ports per default (for all those nasty RPC's that just keep getting exploited). Unless you specifically firewall your traffic (preferably at router level itself to begin with), checking whether your computer is turned on or off would be a trivial exercise.
Truth is, default Windoze Firewall configuration and most routers do not return pings at all, and running ping tests against home computers tends to yield inconclusive results. I'm not jumping to a conclusion based on inconclusive non-data. I'm saying that we are being openly lied to about the nature of this failure because the data explicitly contradicts the claims.
Star Trek Online Season 9 title:
The Rickroll Frontier
Basic summary of content:
New ship: Astley-class cruiser
Ship ability/console: Rickroll console - When this ability is activated it causes all enemy and friendly ships to self-destruct within ten seconds, even as "Never gonna give you up" is broadcast throughout all of the ships.
New sector: Rick sector
Sector features: All systems have at least one planet which is populated by nothing but clones of Rick Astley, all of whom will sing "Never gonna give you up" to anyone that beams down.
Guarding the planets are multiple Astley-class cruisers.
That's not their MO. If they intentionally shutter logins, as they have in the past, you'll get an explicitly visible message in the client indicating that they have done this.
The specific mode of failure we're observing is immediately visible at the exact moment of disconnection, before anyone at Cryptic could even be aware of what has happened. It is not a manually undertaken response. It does not match the failure profile for an intentional deactivation, or any claimed "network failure".
When this happens, the game servers (account servers are fine), all immediately cease to accept connection, explicitly refusing them. The physical servers themselves haven't even failed, they're still there. The game simply crashes.
I'm not suggesting the crash is due to them blocking anything, but asking if they can block people signing on AFTER a crash, so they can fix things....and would THAT give the appearance of the network being okay when pinged.
I see all these comments about 'I pinged it, it's fine' but these come after the fact. Did anyone ping it before it went down??? or at the exact moment for comparison???
SO who forgot to pay the internet bill? Did taco eat the bill when he had it wrapped around his taco? Did brandon break the bill with the livestream? *ponders the vast realities of possiblities*
I love that you all think it is cryptics fault you have bad internet and computers
There is nothing, even remotely, that was written for you to leap to such a ridiculous comment in this thread. You are broken as bad as the servers at the moment.
I just walked all the way to burger king walked all the way back while eating my meal had a smoke or 3, walked my dog, did my dished, made coffee, cooked more burgers, and the server still isn't up yet? damnit. ><

What was it I'm supposed to do after it completes?
I forget...
or is it

I see what you did there
Asking why tribble is working if the problem is network related is saying its cryptic's fault?
Do you have a reading comprehension failure within the dim recess of your brain?
I could post useless stuff for you LOL:D

Someone PLEASE tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do now??

Maybe it because tribble doesn't have the traffic load Holodeck is getting when the server pops up. Just a guess!

Sorry Brandon, I went to bed during the first server crash, but now I'm back :P
