    And that is the way the DOFFs work on the Fleet Starbase when you buy the whites from the Vendor there to dump in Fleet Projects. Why would they change THAT on Tribble?

    The question is, why did they change it from what it was on Tribble? I'm not talking about the live server and don't care what it does there. Why are you so worried about it? The post was for the devs.

    Good to see the Nexus mission added to Roms on Tribble. I spent some serious time looking for it. Through all of the Story Arcs. Because I have 'misplaced' a mission before. I thought it was something I did wrong this time.

    A couple of comments:

    1. We got another unannounced Tribble patch. I'm not sure when the new build was pushed to Tribble, but when I attempted to log on tonight, I got a patch of over 1 GB. (I don't remember exactly, but it may have been closer to 1.5 GB). The latest release notes are for

    Version: ST.85.20180314a.2
    SVN build number: 220700

    The actual latest build is

    Version: ST.85.20180314a.6
    SVN build number: 220955

    2. All the DLLs in the Playtest directory have been moved to Playtest\x64 and Playtest\x86. On Holodeck, most of the DLLs are still in the Live directory.

    3. I'm still seeing the following bugs:

    4. Cryptic has been tweaking the graphics again. A diff of my gameprefs.pref files shows the following difference in graphics settings:

    65a66
    > PrefEntry GfxSettings.ShadowResolution 2
    69c70
    < PrefEntry GfxSettings.SSAO 0
    ---
    > PrefEntry GfxSettings.SsaoLevel 2

    The in-game "Graphics" tab shows changes as well. "Screen-space ambient occlusion" is no longer a simple On/Off option; it now has "High" and "Low" settings. They've also added back the "Low" setting for "Shadows". I have no idea what any of these new settings does yet.

    5. I'm stilling seeing flickering and incorrectly lit objects. Since someone is clearly working on the graphics, can we actually get this fixed before the new release hits Holodeck?

    There are a number of DLLs in the Live directory that I can no longer find under the Playtest directory. I presume these are no longer needed? Or have you move them to another location? See the directory listings below.

    I also noticed, that all of the reward packs, like the crates on the console at drozana, special weapons packs, console packs, starships, have all slightly changed, to include another shell, before getting to the stuff. I.e You click on a weapon pack, and select random beam weapon, instead of giving you a beam weapon, it gives you yet another box to click on. When you click on the Dil expertise box, instead of auto opening, like they use to, it grants a box to inventory that needs to be clicked on.

    I’m not complaining about extra work, just noticing a difference since this patch, and was wondering if this was an intended affect, or a “feature” that was accidentally introduced.

    Anyone else getting "Unable to start game client: The operation identifier is not valid." when launching tribble? Version ST.85.20180314a.8 ..

    Yup - Tried to log in and got "Unable to start game client: The operation identifier is not valid."

    Actually they can do whatever they want on either server. My question is, since it wasn't affecting gameplay on Tribble, and it made it easier for a limited number of players who might not play the server constantly to build and enjoy the features offered to a fleet while testing options and their beta test patches the ability to build the fleet holdings, why change it? Valid question.
    As I have said before, my question and request was to the devs, not to someone who doesn't care one way or the other, but wants to criticize others in a forum designed to ask such questions or make such comments to those making the alterations.

    Have a great game and enjoy yourself.

    Stardate 95845.15 (1652 hours EDT) Yes sir, same here. Looks like another weekend not being able to play the server, not likely to get fixed until Monday.

    Stardate 95853.15 1500 hours still get the error message "Unable to start game client: The operation identifier is not valid." in the launcher when "ENGAGE" button is clicked.

    Attempting to open the GameClient.exe filews in both the x64 and x86 nsubdirectories results in the following error message in a pop-up window:

    Unable to find required game data files. If this problem persists, reinstalling the application may fix the situation.

    maybe this will help the devs find the problem with the launcher not opening the game.

    You do know that when they say that Fleet Provisions no longer have an EC value they also mean the ones you buy from your Replicator (Mining, Spire, etc.). So now if you happen to be real 'lucky' and 'win' a stack of Mine Provisions from a Lockbox and can't possibly use them for anything, all you have left now is to push them out the airlock.

    Been unable to log into the server since last Friday and looks today like they have not been able to find out why. Still get the same error message a week after initially reporting it.
    Looks like lifetime members paid for nothing here.

    I have had problems trying to launch Tribble from the Arc Launcher for a couple of weeks. BUT, I Have never been able to launch from GameClient.exe, the launcher I have been using for Tribble is
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online.exe
    Directly from the folder This opens the only patcher I can use to access Tribble at the moment

    Yeah, it appears to be a problem with the ARC system. Using the executable directly from files allows access to the server.

    Are you kidding me? You decided to issue BOXES of doffs for fleet holding projects? So now we have to open one box at a time for one doff? When we need hundreds at a time to complete some projects?

    Thanks a lot for making a fleet build so much easier.

    **4/9/2018 Fixed, and thanks to the Devs. This makes building holdings SO much easier.**
