How do you repair the game?

My game crashed anytime I went to ESD or Defera. Also, when I logged on to characters placed on these maps the game crashed. It turned out my gameclient wasn't working as it should; some files were corrupted. How did I find out? I just guessed. Nobody else was reporting these problems.

I have STO installed on a second computer, which I do not use regularly. On this system I did not have any problems. To fix things, I copied the 'Live' folder from one system to another. It seems everything is now working as it should.

Are there other options to repair the game client without deleting it completely and reinstall it?

BTW, I had on-demand patching set to off. Everytime the game crashed and I restarted it, it did a self-check, which did not solve anything.

    Having 'On-Demand Patching' unchecked is not enough by itself to force check all the installed files. You need to have the 'Force Verify' option checked to do this...
