What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

On-demand patch failed, now Account Server doesn't respond

While I was heading for a mission map (the first ground map of the Breen arc missions) I entered a map transition and then the patch server failed for some on-demand craziness. 30 seconds with 0 bytes patching usually spells out a (rare case of) failed attempt. So I closed the game and attempted to reload it, normally, from the launcher. The game then froze at the Cryptic logo. Afterwards, I ran the game client's executable itself, where it loaded right up to the normal login screen without issue.

But attempting to log in, the Account Server doesn't seem to respond to any logins whatsoever. I can, however, log in to other Cryptic games just fine, and there clearly are people still logged in to STO that aren't having any unusual issues whatsoever.


Is it something that screwed up when the on-demand patching failed? Or do I have to call my ISP for some dumb decision on their end?


In summary:
- Entered 'Cold Call' mission, moved to ground map
- On-demand patching failed to initiate
- Closed game client, intending to relog and restart the patch
- Account Server in-game (not Launcher) times out on any login attempts, valid or invalid



EDIT: Setting a proxy server in the launcher seems to have alleviated the problem at present.
