    I've got the exact same error as FauxGrey... this has happened to me several times over the last year. Cryptic, when you put out a patch, please also post a 100% clean, working copy of the launcher so we can download that if unable to patch. It wouldn't be that hard to do and would hopefully fix this situation.

    Im in Spain, same problem. I logged in this morning no issues, logged out, minimized the client and put my PC to sleep. Now, i come back from work, logged in, version mismatch and now cant update.

    I dont think i'll bother uninstall/reinstall etc as it hasnt worked for the other posters here. It cant be a problem with ISPs because we posters are from well over 10 diff ISPs and all have the same issue. I read it could be a IP address problem. Going to unplug router for 5 mins and reset PC. Doubt it will fix anything.

    Im sorry to hear that some people are playing fine. If its not a global problem the devs are less likely to fix it any time soon.

    Are you using MTN as your ISP?
    I don't think it matters as all South-African traffic is linked through the same hub anyway.

    I've just read that they had the same problem earlier this year with one of the global network hubs being unable to send traffic to Cryptic, resulting in a percentage of people being unable to connect.

    But that can't be the case, as ping and traceroute works perfectly.

    I guess we just wait this one out until it's fixed, due to a lack of a solution.

    Edit: Just found this: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=6729411&postcount=303

    Why don't they mention these posts on the home page instead of only having the season blogs?

    I am having the launcher problem, the update block that appears at the top left when you first open the launcher fails upon:
    "Tried connecting 2 times."
    "The patchclient got a message while it was in a state with no response function."


    To make sure the automated response person understands this... I cannot open the launcher to verify files.

    My logfile shows as everyone's does:

    121121 19:16:45 4 [1] ESC : The patchclientlib is returning error code : 33\nThe patchclient got a message while it was in a state with no response function
    121121 19:16:45 5 [1]: Launcher PCL Error The patchclient got a message while it was in a state with no response function

    I can confirm that I can ping and do traceroute to the update servers. (Been following instructions from old threads all day.) And I have replaced my launcher with the one available in that updated thread for download, still no effect. I still cannot connect.

    I am not in a "restricted country" as I reside in South-Africa and I've been playing the game for quite some time now, but this morning, poof, cannot connect.

    I have done everything suggested in threads, including uninstalling the game, cleaning registry and temp files, and reinstalling. Still the problem remains.

    Cryptic, my game was working fine when I opened it yesterday, my computer had never even been shut down between me closing and opening the game again. The problem resides somewhere within your (terribly laggy) servers.

    If it helps, my IP address resides in the 41.122.142.XX range.

    I'll be catching up on some Call of duty while my post receives another automated and unhelpful response.

    Thanks.

    Edit: This started before the shard maintenance earlier today.

    This is exactly my problem, and my guess is that whoever has this problem, are the ones still unable to connect to the game.

    Is there a way to disable patchclientlib and patchclient? This seems to be locking up the launcher, but I cannot find any files named as such in my STO folder.

    This just occured to me while attempting a few more ideas. Those who are getting the patchclient error, are you using Windows XP?

    Fix the damn patch server! I can't patch this game and play it if the launcher won't update and launch! I need and want an updated and working launcher. This is ridiculous. :mad:

    Still having this issue...I'm just curious,is it the cryptic patch server's fault,launcher's fault or the ISP's fault?

    It happened a few times for me,it was solved by using a new launcher.

    Please for the one who can patch/have a good launcher...please upload it for us...:)

    It's not limited to OS, as I am using winDOHs 7, 32 Bit.

    The launcher still wont launch, even though it has been reported that (the people who CAN get into the game.) their games aren't disconnecting them anymore. So the people who can start the game are happy.

    I've tried bypassing the launcher and just running the gameclient, "connection to login server timeout."

    Getting the updated launc.... Nevermind, as I type this, my launcher opened.

    Nothing has changed, I'm still using my old launcher, my guess is that whatever network block was in effect has been removed. Game now patching after shard maintenance, we'll see how this goes on my 32k connection.

    Same thing here, started late last night, and its 5:41pm now. My buddy, a veteran of over 4 years, says it is NOT the launcher, it always does this when a new season is released and it will be fixed, just wait for them to do so, most likely monday as tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I'm so livid words cannot explain...if they always have this problem...figure out a way to end it already!

    Seven here. I opened up my firewall while the "Updating the Launcher" thing was up and it IS actually downloading something but it gets to a certain point and stops.

    Will downloading the latest launcher fix my problem of crashing after I hit engage, and get to the starfleet logo screen? I'm in worse than a virtual tyken's rift, I'm caught in a field of tholian webs that collapse every time I try to launch the game. :(
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    I am downloading the new Launcher and installing as I am writing this post I hope this works.

    Downloaded the Launcher installer from the MediaFire Link and it didn't work at all. I still can't connect to STO frick what is going on with the servers.
