The newest change to the Cryptic Launcher broke something, to where I could login, but the patcher just sat there. I know they were having problems with
LAUNCHER ISSUES - Game Breaker - Game WILL NOT patch
If you find you are getting 'stuck' at patching after you log in, you will need to use/try this:

Evidently it is 'sort-of' a known issue, but well it only hit me today with the newest patcher/launcher.
So I'm putting it here as a 'bug' for today's patch.
I was able to login normally last night & the day before, so it's something that broke today. :P
Ticket #719525 <- from CO, but ya'll share a database.
Also this error is present in the STO launcher as well for me, but the test5 worked to resolve it.

#5 is an older version, you might want to try #8 from this thread.

I went ahead and gave #8 a try, and got unable to authenticate.
But #5 works. *shrug*
I'm running XP SP3 with a direct connection to my router from my pc, so it's not a wireless issue
AMD Athon II x3
4 gig ram
Radeon HD4650
Gigabyte motherboard with current drivers handling audio & lan
Plenty of hd space (with more coming)
Not sure if a dxdiag would make a difference as everything was working -yesterday- lol.
So it's looking like a software bit.

Do you have a program installed called Forceware network access manager?

Nope nothing by NVIDIA is on my pc, and I double checked to see if there was anything but the ATI stuff in the Task Manager, nor do I have any uninstall files for NVIDA/Forceware etc.
I'm not running a firewall, and I've got my router configured to not block the ports STO & CO use.
I get good/decent ping times to San Jose, CA and I get better than average scores for my ISP on SpeedTest.net
So I have a decent, if not great connection to the net. (Considering I live in El Paso TX....)
I'm not sure why 8 won't work, I'm thankful that 5 does though.
More system information (I chopped a ton of crud out of the dxdiag that's realy not relevent to the game.
You can either glom through it or skip past
