Ah, the target field. The whole "URL" thing was messing me up.
And yeah, I already tried the Force Verify thing and downloaded the 3 Gig patch. Still bupkis, which is why I was asking about the modifying the target line thing.
oh poodlesticks.. thanks for the info.. i cant seem to figure the url thing out.. i try to add it to the target field and i get an error message telling me location doesnt exist.. its nearly 2am so i may just be too tired to figure my thumbs from my elbows, think i may bail on it before i accidently format a hard drive or something lol
if this were to be true i may see my old science officer that "disappeared" when the old logins merged into the current... from when you could log in from either cryptic or perfect world accounts.

Nope, it's a perfectly clean launch day STO. Even the Pre-Order items are missing from the game. There isn't even a chat server, so no chatting. Emotes don't work either.

No, it started from 0 and very very slowly went up. Trust on that. You may think it works as normal in this case but it doesn't.
(yes, see the previous comment)
Working as normal for me. I've closed the launcher numerous times in the last two hours to get it's speed back up (don't ask me why, but large downloads always speed up if you close the launcher) and it's picked up where it left off each time. I guess you were just unlucky.
Also, make sure there's a space between what is written there and the -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com line you want to add to it, or you'll get an error message.

No chat? Damn.
I wonder what it would take to get at least chat functionality up & running. >:
It will be nice to go outside ESD and not see dozens ships of a half dozen different factions.
ohhhh my a true vanilla install... well, darnit! I was os looking forward to getting a tad bit of use outta my pre-order stuff again, but thats just fine really.
Hay, maybe you feds won't be such push overs in PvP now that you've had a few years to figure things out!
Though seriously, I do hope they can get the chat servers up for it.. Trifling difficult to talk ship to ship using sign language, signal flares and flags.

well first thing for me will be PVP, thou Cryptic please invest and bring forward that NEW PVP Engine that was being worked as DStahl said. PVP for me is a core part of the game.
P.S Its also now taking long to patch and im at 20%
"Omega Class will prevail she cannot be defeated!"
Well, I patched 3.2GB, then got the file can't be found error.
Now patching another 3.2GB (or maybe the same 3.2GB).

Which launcher am I right clicking on? The Arc launcher? There's nothing that says "URL" anywhere when I right click on it and go to properties.
The STO launcher, not ARC. I created a shortcut to it;
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Perfect World Entertainment\Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online.exe" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
You need to create a new shortcut for you launcher. Then right click. Than properties
Then add this in the box next to target -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
So when you are done what is in properties should look like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online.exe" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
Once you start it up the patch should be 10 GB. If it is 3.5 GB's than it won't work.
It will change for each computer but it will most likely be like that. Just create a shortcut then properties after the " hit space then put in -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
If you do it right after with no space between the " and the command it won't work.
They need to make this permanent just fix bugs and keep it stable no new content or anything. If they do that then i will consider getting subscription. Right now sto PvP is a joke. Holodeck could be for pvers and redshirt for pvpers. pvers would be happy because the devs wouldn't have to balance Holodeck for pvp. PvPers would be happy because we wouldn't have annoying pve gear messing with PvP balance.
Actually, there are quite a few things from the early days I wish they would bring back. Too many to list here but sometimes 'simpler' + 'cleaner' = 'better experience.'
Well, I patched 3.2GB, then got the file can't be found error.
Now patching another 3.2GB (or maybe the same 3.2GB).
That 3.2GB is the "wrong" patch. You want to do what has been said with the copy the short cut and add the -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com thing. (others in this thread have explained that far better than I could). Then you'll get the big patch.

That's a problem I'm running into. My Property tabs for my shortcut I have doesn't have a target field. There not an option I could find yet.
Got it to start downloading the 10GB but I will have to sleep now and do it in the morning (my timezone) Hopefully it stays around as I would love to experience STO as it was at launch. I didn't have STO back in 2010 but remember the launch and all the pictures graphics e.t.c

Copy shortcut to desktop, edit it there.

Thanks! Now I can edit it....but it's saying the target line is invalid.
Sorry...not a computer guy really.

... color me a sad panda ...
"Location of the game file here" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
So for me that is:
"D:\Games\Star Trek Online\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online.exe" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
For others something along the lines of:
"C:\Program Files\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online.exe" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com
And it should be formatted in this fashion
Game on! See you online
Falc
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online.exe" -patchserver patchserverrebirth.crypticstudios.com

Wait, is April 1 this setback sto Rebirth?:D
