As the title says, I get to the Cryptic loading screen, the bar reaches to about 75% loading then just closes. No error messages, just closes. I tried loading the game from the Arc launcher, then un-installed the game, then loading it from Steam, this time on my SSD drive. Both times, the game just closes, with no error message. I also tried adding this line..
-d3d11enable 0 -d3d9

That did nothing as well. Been on a huge Star Trek kick and have been wanting to play this game, and don't understand the issue. I don't get any of this with MMO's ranging from EverQuest to WoW, and stand alone games like Divinity Orginal Sin 2. Thank you in advance for the help.

    Bring up the Launcher, click on Options, then enable 'Start in Safe Mode' then retry. This is your best bet. It sounds like the latest 'Win 10' update is the issue, as some other players have reported, so this may not be something fixed until Microsoft releases the fix.

    Thanks for the reply, I just tried this and it closes at the same point. I tried to load the game in Admin mode when it was under the Arc launcher. I have no idea why this is happening, as every other game loads fine.

    if you're on steam > right click game > properties > local files > click verify integrity let run till it completes.
    if you're back to arc > options > force verify > save > log in to launcher as usual, let it complete. once either is done, try loading the game. or, you can go the added stop of STO Launcher > options > uncheck ondemand be aware that doing this downloads all the game files. so depending on your internet speed, it may take awhile. don't try until you're sure the game lets you in though.
