    Jesus christ man, its a beta. This is expected in all beta's. Instead of ranting here, why not create a help ticket. there is aprobably a easy fix.

    This is getting old real fast and you obviously are parroting the phrase without knowing what it means. "its beta" does not excuse poor design and bad planning, and being as almost EVERY COMPANY uses open beta to showcase and get their game out there, you would hope that it would be at least playable. "It's Beta" is a lame and very weak excuse for a poor product.

    I guess not being able to get in the game at all is a part of being in beta, too?

    Jesus christ man, beta is suppose to be PLAYABLE so it can be TESTED. Saying that its beta so its suppose to be unplayable, doesnt make sense. Stop being an apologist and allow yourself to have some dignity and self respect, we shouldnt have to put up with crappy rushed software. We are paying for this, so we expect, ney, DEMAND a quality product, not this late alpha quality thing we have.

    For the OP, on the launcher, go to options and check verify. It should force it to verify all the files and should keep you from having to reload the client all over again

    Technically, you are not paying for it yet. All you have paid for is the pre order and a beta key. And where are you people coming from about beta supposed to be 100% playable. Thats just ********, this is not the first game i have beta tested so i know how they work. Yes this one is having more problems then some but there is no need for all of you to jump on the bandwagon QQing about every little thing thats not perfect. Did you play any other big MMO's in beta? I played WoW since beta, and that was alot worse then this.

    If you people have such huge problems with the game, stop playing. Simple as. At least then people like me wont have to read the constant ******** rants on here about the same thing in 20 different threads. Use the search function, it makes it easier for the devs to read the problems if they are all together, and nor spread out in childish little rants.

    Yes I have played betas before. you can't play this beta though because ITS UNPLAYUABLE!!!!

    If you have such huge problems with us wanting things working then why don't you stop playing because we're going to get them fixed. So please stop QQ'ing at the people who are trying to improve things. Go back to WoW then, its almost dead anyways, Crapaclysm should finish it off soon enough anyways.

    And since I have a non refundable digital deluxe edition then I am paying for the beta.

    To be fair, considering release is around the corner, I'd say there is reason to be alarmed.

    I don't think a help ticket will help, Maybe if i have the source so i can fix the problem. :-)
    And all betas sorry i play a longtime and did some serious beta work . Never seen this before.

    Yes maybe i do that and go back 2 play starfleet command runs beter than this and cost less 2 me at least i can stop my pre and transfer the life back 2 my bank account. If this is the way operators talk and scare u out of the game be my guest. I wonder how support is, get a wrong taste in my mouth of reading this.... With US and go wow. (btw never seen that game).

    So for me it is back 2 EVE and starfleet command

    I think you should check your copy of STO or download it from somewhere else sounds like some of the files in your client are corrupt.

    I have had no issues with the client so far, except from crashes that used to occur when you ended up as your ground avatar in space.

    This is an issue you need to report, i for one have not had a problem with the client, and my only trouble with logging in is when the server has been taken down for maintenance.

    You sir are mis-informed, the beta has been playable, and played and most of all "beta tested" by lots of people successfully. Just because one person has an issue does no make the game UNPLAYABLE.

    Also you have not payed for beta, you have payed to access the game when it starts and as a BONUS for pre-ordering, you have been allowed in to open beta.

    Beta's for those of you who like to make the rest of us believe you have done some testing, are subject to errors and servers being down for extended periods of time. If you can not get on to "play", then that is not the games fault, as its being updated or patched and that is something you have to expect when you are supposed to be "testing", just because you can't get on at your timeslot in your part of the world, doesn't mean everyone else is having the same issue. A lot of the community has managed to get on and help test the game fully.

    Well i pre-order it at one of your friends in sales. And i got a email that i could download the betaversion at starttrek online. So thats the only link i got. I will be strange if the version what is on the server is corrupt.

    Yeah i seen that even as ship into ground then a crash will follow and for me its then complete new install
    because of the loader who says friendly no 32bit application

    You people are the reason most companies use closed betas, morons like you completely destroy the beta process.

    Was the files you downloaded in a zip file?
    If yes, did you use the unzip function that is built into windows?
    If yes, try to download 7z and unzip it with that and re-install the game.

    The windows unziper produces corrupted files sometimes (specialy with large files) and the "no 32bit aplication" error that you get is a good indication that the file is corrupt.

    Or it could be that he downloaded a 64bit files perhaps? Raise a support ticket man, its the quickest and easiest thing to do. Also did you use the md5hash checksum to obtain weather the files are as they should be intended?

    They use closed betas to beta test but not stress test. Stress test is one of the last things they do. Sounds like to me they could have had a couple extra closed beta sessions with maybe some extra people in there, perhaps the game would be in better shape.

    The OP is frustrated and has every right to express his concerns. This close to launch we should be having a stable client.

    Guys, i 100% agree with you, the game should be in a better state this close to launch, no one is denying that fact. My point is that there is no need to Make new threads about ongoing issues, use the search function to find similar threads. This is a logistical nightmare for the Devs to go through 40 threads about the same issue, when they could read the same thread with 40 of the same problem.
