With the latest update all versions of windows server seem to be blocked from running the game. I had been running on 2008r2 which is just the Server version of windows 7. People have tested with newer versions as well with the same result. This makes no sense when even vista is still supported.

" Thank you for contacting us and I apologize for the issue. Unfortunately, we no longer support Windows Server. This was a decision made by the dev team, and therefore I am not able to provide troubleshooting steps for this issue."
So, apparently it's "Windows 10 or GTFO"

our currently supported OS's are listed on the main star trek page. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online
They are :
Windows® Vista, 7, 8 or 10
To date, I have not gotten any explanation as to what capabilities are missing in Server 2016. Microsoft themselves is so convinced that it is in every way as capable as 10 that they do not even have a licensing model for 10 in cloud GPU-enabled desktops. There's no need to do so, as 2016 already has licensing models for VDI and cloud desktops and does everything that 10 could hope to do.
Please, Chrian, tell us why the developers have made this decision. Give us a reason why Server is not supported when it can effectively (and quite exceptionally) run games with an astounding range of engines, graphics levels, and system requirements. End of support for Windows XP was an incredibly good idea. This allowed you to move beyond Dx9 and vastly improve the game. Give us the same rationale for force-blocking an OS used by people who play your game and is more than capable of playing your game. Help us here.

For others, it could just be that they work in IT and use Server as their base OS because they're more used to it; or for the extra features and flexibility it provides, etc.
