It seems that they've managed to patch the game to death.

Again with this cogentco TRIBBLE. No way you could possibly anticipate something with a long-established history of problems, let alone checking it out remotely before a patch goes live.
:rolleyes:
My home ISP is Telefonica and my office is connected via COLT.
I've routed traffic to the netblock via the VPN to my office and now i'm playing, but after a hard day, go home to relax and ... more troubleshooting xD
Well my mobile phone works in patching but way to slow between 3-7 mb on 3g and I drops now and then to unreliable for online gaming nut it works the only thing I can think off is that it is using a blocked channel port or something as for example my phone can access piratebay and home broadband is blocked for example. I had same problem with POTBS by SOE MMO and it took them nearly a year to fix it and they shut my account down and I lost all my paid for stuff and subscription status so I know that this is not an easy fix as sony is a massive company with lots of money

This was happening since before the patch rolled out.
Create an account after install, verify email, open program and connect to California, once connected click on STO icon and that's it. Until PWE figures out its problem. Thiswill work for East Coast users, not sure if the international members are capable of using this.

Disable on demand patching in the launcher's settings and then download the full patch. After that just load the game and switch back to your regular connection, the issue is only with connecting to the launcher/patch servers.
This is what you get when you go with the lowest bidder.
Well, you know, as a fallback position, they could not act like they're completely mystified by this every time. You would think "cross your fingers and hope for the best" would lose it's appeal after it repeatedly blows up in your face like this.

I think its absolutely pathetic that Cryptic cant keep this game running. Release one patch to fix things that arent even broken, break 3 other things. And now it seems they've patched the game to death. My day off and all i wanted to do was play some STO. Pathetic

I've routed traffic to the netblock via the VPN to my office and now i'm playing, but after a hard day, go home to relax and ... more troubleshooting xD
This is what you get when you go with the lowest bidder.
We've had one: they don't know, and they don't know.
I think we all love a wooly hat, even those who dont actually admit it
This was happening since before the patch rolled out.
https://www.privatetunnel.com/index.php/client-download
Create an account after install, verify email, open program and connect to California, once connected click on STO icon and that's it. Until PWE figures out its problem. Thiswill work for East Coast users, not sure if the international members are capable of using this.
-Kudos
To be fair it is pretty funny watching some of the posts in here i had almost forgot what i was here for
Disable on demand patching in the launcher's settings and then download the full patch. After that just load the game and switch back to your regular connection, the issue is only with connecting to the launcher/patch servers.

I don't like wooly hats. Really. Don't look at me like that!
:cool:
Well, you know, as a fallback position, they could not act like they're completely mystified by this every time. You would think "cross your fingers and hope for the best" would lose it's appeal after it repeatedly blows up in your face like this.
The good news: They know exactly what the problem is.
The bad news: They're looking for a fix that doesn't cost any money.
At least our results agree

Seems not to be a geological problem but more a provider/DNS problem.
I encountered the same problems as you but using a VPN (I use personally FronzenWay), I managed to patch and launch the game
Have fun

I think its absolutely pathetic that Cryptic cant keep this game running. Release one patch to fix things that arent even broken, break 3 other things. And now it seems they've patched the game to death. My day off and all i wanted to do was play some STO. Pathetic
It worked!! thank you
Its's you!
