    Aw TRIBBLE! I haven't downloaded anything for Tribble server through the game launcher since putting together a new PC. So I have 12GB worth of stuff to download. :'(

    Edit 2: Wow. Tribble downloaded already. All 12GB of it. :o LOL "on demand patching" was on. Forgot to turn that off.

    Most of the game doesn't re-download when you install a test shard. A majority of the data is simply copied from the existing install.

    Ahh. Gotcha.

    You guys made me want to check out stuff on Tribble. Shame on you. ;)

    Okay, I'm seeing the "Equip Rifle" bug here. Needs some TLC there.

    I was able to use the calendar event entry for "Hearts and Minds" to transwarp a TOS character from the 23rd Century sector block to the 25th Century one. Once there I wasn't able to interact with any of the planets I tried to visit.

    From comments on Twitter, they're sticking strictly to species seen in TOS, not including TAS or TMP.

    Well i had access but because my settings had reverted to default, it means i had to restert the client to get the graphics capability, however in the process it updated again which was strange, as i logged it said "Version mismatch" and then kicked me out, in addition the AOY loading screen was replaced by new dawn.

    Just ran a force verification on the tribble build it is downloading again. i am guessing the launcher re-downloaded an older version by default and the force verification is likely forcing it to re-download the correct version.

    if i leave od on half the content is missing and everytime you load a new map it needs to be downloaded which is annoying to me. so yes it was the first thing i do everytime i install the cryptic launcher.

    Patching done.

    No mismatch problem.

    Still can't Equip Phaser Rifle (though the BOX is no longer open), can't beam up and can't Drop the Mission.

    Guess I'll have to delete this toon and start again.

    11:31am EDT

    Did a Force Verify and another patch came down the line...

    VERSION MISMATCH...

    Here we go again.

    11:33am EDT...

    Another 4152MB patch...
    (thank goodness T/W doesn't limit my DL'ing)

    And the verdict is...

    11:52am EDT patch done (again)...
    <chuckle>

    Nope, still can't get beyond the Rifle Box.

    Going to definitely delete this toon and start again.

    12:25pm EDT.

    Stuck on Rifle again with second toon.

    This happened to me after a crash. I did a verify and it was all messed up, so I turned verify off and put "on demand" patching to ON. It downloaded TOS again and I was able to get back in.

    It seems the TOS stuff only takes hold with the "on demand" patching activated.

    I got the "version mismatch" and restarted it. I've turned on Force Verify for the moment, I'll wait to see what happens with that. So far, it's downloading...something....not sure just what because I'm not seeing a listing for what version.

    I guess if this doesn't work I'll try using the On Demand Patching...if I can't get in then, who knows?

  • hivercidehivercide Member Posts: 67 Arc User
    Another 2130MB of patching happening for me as well, but I can't say if it's part of the previous attempt or a fresh patch for today.

    Can we get rid of the flim grain please that effect is horriable

    I agree, at least have an option to turn the grain off like Alien Isolation.
  • djmarr1964djmarr1964 Member Posts: 232 Arc User
    i hope it is a fresh patch so we can get by the rifle stage of the TOS mission

    It seems that the Cryptic Dev's usual work day finishes sometime between 5pm and 7pm PDT.

    So I would guess (and we have seen in the past) that it will be uploaded to TRIBBLE during those hours.

    I'm guessing around 9pm my time (EDT) which would be around 6pm Their time.
    (though it could hit sooner)

    any patch likely won't be hitting today
    No idea. We experienced an unexpected issue with the build we were planning on patching, so it's almost certainly going to be later than I originally expected.
