What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Fatal load error when trying to start the game

After downloading the update today 6/5, I click engage and it goes to the CRYPTIC screen and the round circle timer thing keeps going. Then it crashes to desktop and I get "Fatal error: unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to patch server: the connection was idle for too long." message and then the screen to submit a ticket pops up and then disappears. Has happened numerous times. What the hell?

    The Error Message means your STO Client can't establish a connection through the Internet to the STO Patch Server... You can try turning off 'On-Demand' patching in the Option Menu of the Launcher...

    You could also look at this thread, then post some network diagnostic information taken when the problem occurs... http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=225155

    After two days it seems to be fixed. I can play the game now.
