Ok, I did some thinking and someone said they fixed this problem by doing a complete OS reinstall. And im just not buying that this is what is gonna fix the problem. Its saying that it is missing required files to complete a update or something to me so i am going to try a different method for getting the program. I found the bare bones installation file and the link for it is here:
star_trek_online_setup.exe - 1.82 MB.
I noticed that when I downloaded the beta client from a website offered from one of the file hosters it was a little under 7 GB. And then when the launcher did a patch it patched around 500-700 MB if I remember correctly. So that puts the size after the patch around 7.7 GB. However when I used the bare bones installer and patch all files from Cryptic from start to finish it is giving me a end file size of 10 GB. thats almost a 3 GB difference, and i am thinking thats where some of those missing files are coming from. I dunno if I am going anywhere with this, but I will know by this afternoon if it worked or not. Cross your fingers for me guys.

Getting this error btw.
100118 10:08:41 35 MasterControlProgram[1]: Shutting down: C:\src\Core\CrypticLauncher\StartingScreen.c(618)
Moron please. There are NO missing files. The downloader transfers compressed data, which when processed by the "patcher" (a.k.a. installer) uncompresses them so 7Gb -> 10Gb
It might be beneficial if Cryptic could post a list of video cards and sound cards supported and which file versions are current.
It's also likely judging from the error message and description of the problem that you might well need to default the program, ie reinstall.
**** you *******
You know people like you really need a attitude adjustment and maybe even some therapy. This guy was asking for help, You know HELP and you call him a Moron.
Tbh people like you make me want to stop using theses forums. I thought AoC forums where bad for all the backstabbing/b1tching and Ignorant people and the mods really wanna start kicking some butts off of these forums.
Why don't you try to help people and if you cant offer something constructive then go troll somewhere else.
What I do in situations where there just no hope I re-install but I have a Image of my OS and Drivers so doing re-installs is easy and all my kept files are on USB sticks or my Portable HD.
I would consider doing so if you re-install. Get a disc imager like Norton Ghost or similar (Theres a few free ones) Install your OS and drivers and Image the HD. Saves you loads of time in the long run. On average I reinstall every couple of months to keep everything tidy. Btw I use XP x64 pro. Vista X64 and Win 7 X64. All imaged but I only really replace Win 7 now.
Edit. Did you by any chance set the launcher to verify files or can you not even get that far?
Also If its any help. I download the client via a Torrent and it worked perfect for me. If you cant track down the torrent file on here then I can mail it you if you PM me you Email address.
EDIT: I upgraded sound, DX, and nvidia driver to beta. Still no help. I think I can find the torrent download, I will try that next i guess before reinstalling OS.
Can you please let us know what happens after you reinstall OS?
EDIT: I logged in after repeated tries and got error messages saying im not allowed on the server, and now its stuck on a retrieving list of characters screen.(just wait for it, it will load)
EDIT: Also after verifying the files once it allows me to boot the client up without being in safe mode. So my guess is that is was indeed maybe missing some files.
Glad I could help mate. See this is what happens when people try to help instead of resorting to petty name calling like some people do on these forums. Remind me of my 5 year old son and 11 year old daughter calling and point scoring. I question the human race as a whole at times. If only the our world was the same as the one or the vision of Gene Roddenberry god rest his soul.
Anyway if you are having problems logging in. Keep trying we are all the same but some things you can try. on the options screen where you choose Verify. Where it says server proxy. Set it to EU if in EU ofc or if set to EU at present try None. If in US then US ofc
