Tau Dawa Red Alert

Has anyone else figured out how to run the Tau Dawa Red Alerts on any kind of regular basis?
It seems that it is in a continual reset mode with no indication of when it will finish; once in a rare while you can run it.
At least the the Borg missions at Ker'rat shows a countdown to reset.
Edit: Sorry... Tau DEwa.

It appears that Cryptic is leaving it in (and not fixing it) as a reminder that there are bugs in the game...

As far as we know though, the devs simply don't know what's causing it yet. And without that knowledge, all the other steps of fixing and testing are useless (just like being unable to do mission 2 in a doff chain, until 1 is complete).
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
change the daily wrapper to do a mine trap mission or someting.
In case you haven't checked the Doff subforum recently, Bort has found out the reason why this has been happening, and is fixing it
And I might add he posted that reply on 2/23, about two weeks ago

Then they released the tholian red alerts and it reintroduced this bug back into the wild, now both borg and tholian red alerts are doing the same thing.
It seems they may have injected a piece of old code back in when they started the tholian RAs, should be simple enough to fix since they have already done so once... but no, sadly it seems this will continue to be ignored.
In a recent interview Stahl indicated they were looking at a new way to do red alerts coming in the may update, so for now we have to deal with a broken system and the STO populace that is starved for romulan marks as a result.

Oh well... Thanks again, folks.

That's the new J.J. Abrams effect that Cryptic is adding to space scenes in Red Alerts...
Just Kidding... I think that it is supposed to be a nebula but it is just way too bright. There have been planets like that on some missions, they look like bright yellow suns but they are really planets. That's my estimation anyways.

they lag me hard, too
ATI video card
When players accept the Tau Dewa daily or click on the Red Alert button, they are automatically added to the queue so that they automatically enter the encounter when the mission starts.
Right now the encounter AI start sequence seems to have a player detection process that's rigged such that if it detects too few players it aborts, which it should not do while the alert flag is set and kicks everyone out rather than simply waiting for more players before beginning the sequence. It's either not detecting players in the instance or the abort timeout is far too short.
Barring the use of a queue launch, it should run for a predetermined length and disregard player numbers entirely, starting the sequence whether players are present or not, then players can join or leave at any time while the red alert flag is up. If the red alert runs every hour then an hours time should be sufficient for players to complete the alert mission as well as objectives for the daily before the mission resets itself.
That's a big that's at least several months old. There's a big thread about it somewhere, but I don't have the energy to dig around for it. I think they're still working on it.
I find it quite hilarious that the Tau Dewa Red Alerts still haven't been fixed after all this time.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.
