repost from the technical forums because they barely ever get read.
After the last update my game now crashes every time I log in. I can get to the character selection screen (usually) but when I select a character and try to get in game it crashes. It says fatal error corrupted pigg file. There is a long string naming the file that seems to relate to Federation galaxy class. I let the game verify all the files thinking it would repair the corrupted one but no such luck. Any hope of a fix short of a re install?
as askray mentioned to me as i will recommend to you. find the specific pigg file in the error, delete it from the folder it belongs to and redownload it through the launcher. it should be okay after that.

I'm not all that technically minded, but if you have the name of the file could you try finding it in the directory, deleting it entirely and then verifying your files again? Perhaps then it will detect the missing file and re-download it.
Apart from that a full uninstall/re-install would be the safest thing to do.
EDIT: Ninja'd! Good to see I was on the right track though :P
easiest way to try and fix this is to check the option to 'force verify' on the launcher then input your password and login... might not fix it so the other option is to go into the .pigg file directory and delete one. This will force a different kind of verification process that might fix it. Last is the hamfisted approach... go into the .pigg file directory and delete em all. Note this will be a big d/l but not quite a full reinstall.
dunno bout arc client versions but the old client and steam versions are in \star trek online\star trek online\live\piggs\
