Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, November 14th, at 7AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to last for 2 hours. The test server, launcher and access to manage your account may also be unavailable during some portions of the maintenance.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team


UPDATE (11/14 @ 8:50am): We're going to extend our maintenance window by 45 minutes. Our goal is to have you back in-game by 9:45am PDT (55 minutes from now).

    Resolved an issue where weapons were incorrectly applying debuffs to their owners when they returned weapon power to their owners.

    Sweet mercy thank you for fixing that. I don't think the STF queues could have taken much more. :P

    i couldn't help but notice two things:

    first, every time the map changes, it has to "reload material files"

    why?


    second, where did all the 4.5+ star foundry missions go? also included in this, all the spotlight missions have vanished except for Purity VI

    Soo.. Anything in the pipeline about the HORRENDOUS lag in the Sphere? I'm not turning graphics down for an entire season, half-graphics makes my eyes hurt. And I don't have the money to buy a new computer with a better graphics card right now.

    So, why try and make your financial burdens our problem, then?! 'Half-graphics' make our eyes hurt too; so, please, Cryptic, disregard the above request and just keep graphics in the Sphere as high as they are.

    This should be removed because it's really annoying.

    ^^ Agreed. Seems to be some sort of debug status line they've forgotten to take out.

    How about an ETA on a fix for those of us who have the bug that crashes the game at the character selection screen?

    Thank you for putting in a fix for the buffing of our targets, getting hit by crippling fire from a gate was not fun! Doesn't help the borg always chase me, then again im usually the only romulan on a pug team (racist borg).

    Yes I get to the character screen and the game crash I uninstall and reinstall the game in hopes that it would fix the issue and that didn't work. So I am starting to get a little worried that I won't be able to play the new season.

    This sad & panicked Lifetime subscriber/Fleet Admiral gets a crash after Cryptic loading screen, same as 10/3's update/patch. I was locked outta the game until the following Thursday's patch when that last occurred. I apologize, I cannot type anymore, due to the STO-withdrawal tears in my eyes.
    Thank you. Have a lovely day.

    18897741 is my Ticket ID.
    Does that help any? Frustrated.
    STO is my only addiction. PLEASE don't make me find another (illegal or otherwise).
    :-)
    Query: Including all the system requirements on the STO download page, precisely what gaming laptop(s) do you guys suggest I use to play STO? I understand if legal agreements prohibit plugging brands, but COME ON please. Tell me. I'll get it.
    Thank you for a quick, honest, & helpful response. Have a lovely day.

    Yes the game is still crashing in the Dyson sphere,but its also crashing everywhere else too.
    Its been a total disaster and a nightmare.
    Cryptic, Are all bugs going to be cleared as well as crashes everywhere on the maps????
    Me as well as many players,have put alot of real money into this game,and i would like some assurance that these game problems are being sorted out,not just some things,but the whole game.A half baked job will not solve these problems.
    As far as i remember,the same or similar problems happened with season 7.
    Why has this happened again with season 8????
    Are lessons being learned from this,regarding when season 9 is with us next year,or will there be more bugs and crashes to iron out????
    Not many will agree with me i know,but what the heck,its very frustrating.
    I know cryptic likes making their money,but that will not happen if this game keeps crashing all the time. Crashes= LESS MONEY FOR CRYPTIC.
    Is it perhaps better to take the game offline for a week or 2,to completely sort it out in full??

    this comes up with every major content release. injecting a massive amount of new code into a set of old code is always going to break something somewhere.

    and take the game down for two weeks? if crypptic did that, they might as well as shut the game down. no MMO has ever taken its servers offline for 2 weeks.... willingly, and survived long.

    Nah!
    I was sure that You are going to delete S8.
    Why don't Cryptic just ask people how they like Sphere stuff?
    OH YES You already know-when LOR was released everyone wanted to play and laggs apeared!
    Now there are almost no probs(only had one crash) and i doubt that this is becouse of server stability!

    You do know you can read the patch notes instead of asking other people to do it for you right?

    here is the link to the release notes. That is where you can see what is being fixed.
    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118

    Although the crashes for some people seem to be a major issue, there are many many many players who havent had ANY issues with crashing. I have played a total of 12 hours since season 8 was released and it has not crashed on me once. Also Cryptic isnt going to make less money because you say so. If it was crashing for a majority of players then obviously it would be a major issue, but right now its crashing for a small but loud minority.

    You guys and you endgame gameplay!

    I would just love to be able to complete the Marooned objective in the Coliseum set of missions.

    I dont know if its the tactical path or something else, but after I escape the arena with Slamek and heal him with herbs, we go to find firewood.

    I pick up the last piece of firewood and after a short loading screen I find myself in the pitch black, miles away in a small room with no way out.

    I just want to complete the missions!

    Lol yes i know how to read. It literally tells you to go to the release notes when you launch the player to start the game. Its PATHETIC that people do not know how to check release/patch notes.

    Resolved an issue where weapons were incorrectly applying debuffs to their owners when they returned weapon power to their owners.

    Just to be sure about this, does that also include consoles such as the plasmonic leech or are you just talking about weapons in specific?

    Also please add the non-rewarding of dyson commendation to known issues ;)

    I always do read release notes,and it would be a good assurance if all problems were fixed no matter what they are. Fixing just some things and not all is a half baked job as i mentioned before.That will not do.

    NO. Fixing what they can now and working on the rest of the issues is not a half baked job. It means some of the problems are taking longer to fix than others.

    Please add the ability to shoot from Voth weapons from Operative Stealth Module as a known issue too. It doesn't break the cloak.
