    If memory serves, the issue is in the .net part of the launcher.

    Try launching the client, rather than the launcher.

    Im just bugtracing right now... I dont use Linux myself, but I have a fair deal of expirience with it.

    If we can launch the game without the launcher, we know where to look... then we know where to start.

    You need to find the game exe file in your mounts....

    Not sure what it would be on linux, but on a Win, it should be "%program files%\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe" i belive...

    You probably have it in your /usr or /bin (or /etc?)

    Doesn't the games exe just starts the launcher ?
    But i also got a friend with a windows pc i can at least test it with the client

    No... the launcher and the client are seperate enteties... The launcher simply provides patch access/evaluation as well as directed login.

    The game client is usually launched through the launcher, but it is not required, if your client is up to date.

    But... come to think of it, The launcher IS powered by IE... You might want to investigate if you can sucessfully install IE9 or later?

    I will be offline for the next 8'ish hours... sleep is a b*tch, but nessacary.

    Try my suggestions, and hope someone else can help you... If not, I will look into this thread tomorrow again...

    was skimming through the old forums, and found this:

    Post #2 is mine... Seems it solved the issue back then.

    Ok, so that issue is removed from the checklist...

    There is a file... MS*somethingsomething*.dll that the launcher initiates... It's apprearently not nessacary on the windows, but it might just be in Ubuntu...

    Ill see what I can figure out

    I am writing this on my phone while I wait for windows to boot after another unsuccessful try to get STO to run on my Linux install. And windows is so slow in comparison, so very slow.

    Anyway the only reason I have a windows partition is for this game, and sadly the old xp is going to have to go soon. Its just too old and creaky, and really? taking space just for a game? but I love this game.. but windows must go.... arrgh

    I hope, following the lead of companies like valve/steam and blizzard, even EA, that cryptic start looking at the potential of Linux and ubuntu etc.

    right windows nearly booted..... and time for some STO :)

    oh and Internet Explorer? seriously?

    This needs to be resolved. 20 million + people and growing a day use Ubuntu. I play STO on a old XP computer that I resuscitated for that purpose alone - a concept obscene to a Linux user.

    Free to play and open source should work beautifully together.

    Im upgrading to the latest Ubuntu version 13.04 today (54/7) [ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade ] and on a laptop and desktop. ( new users go here ( [ http://www.ubuntu.com/ ]) I will post on this issue every day until it is resolved or I can say for sure it is un-resolvable.

    Also I am uninstalling wine and all the previous tweaks I attempted to resolve this before the Ubuntu upgrade. Evidentially this issue was resolved in the past with other Linux versions - Ill try to read up on those as well.
