I can log into the game, after the loader sits for 30 mins checking I have the latest patch. Then once I am at character selection, I click on the captain I wish to play as, hit play, and get taken to the game log in screen and told that there has been a login time-out. This happens for hours upon end, until I give up in boredom.
It's not the same problem as others here have, as it doesn't actually crash, but it has been a rather frustrating few days.
My sympathies go out to the everyone who is unable to play this game as well, as it is a trying time.
I've often thought,... If you had enough detailed information about history, you could actually predict the future.
When the Rodney King verdict was announced one sunny morning years ago, I remember saying to a co-worker, "There's gonna be some riot's in LA tonight".
I didn't have this problem when Season 8 launched, I only ran into the problem since the latest patch. Quite annoying really, but hopefully they'll have a fix soon.
I noted you were in a RP Fleet...

As one of those who experienced the crash of 10-03-13 and survived the numerous rants and rages against the unfairness of the situation by irate forum members, I have now decided to spend my down time reading the humorous posts of the newbies, demanding remuneration like a gaggle of Ferengis.
Voice of experience: No, you will not get anything because of downtime. Why? Because of the fine print when you sign up to play this game. Unfair? Possibly, but in the grand scheme of things, THIS IS JUST A GAME. The programmers are aware of the problem. Can it be solved by waving a Feinberger over the server, no. Expect to be down for a week at the least, prepare for longer. But most importantly, RELAX. It will be fixed.
I too am having issues with the start up and have tried everything to find away around it and so far it still crashes after the criptic loading page I'm hoping that they fix the problem today I missed out on a lot of stuff yesturday, and I'm hoping to logg in later and actualy get to play

Good luck on that. Still no fix in this patch. Per Brandon team is till working on it. Looks like each day new players are being affected in someway.
Me too buddy, me too.

Damnit you!, Now I've got his voice stuck in my head. :P

I'm not saying all of you are asking for handouts, it's the ones that think the deserve it because of the Crash. I'm not looking for any handouts. I Earn for what I get
BTW, asking for say the lobi or lost dil we "Could have" gotten isn't asking for a handout.. You must not understand what a handout is. A handout is asking for something you are NOT entitled to and could NOT have gotten yourself. We COULD have gotten the lobi and dil but have been prevented from doing so, so don't go bashing on us for asking for what we COULD have gotten "if" we had been able to log on.

Every time I try to run the game today, I get to the login screen on the launcher, but immediately after I log in, the launcher itself crashes. I haven't changed any settings and it was working just fine as of yesterday. Anyone else having launcher issues?
welcome to the club, join the [Season 8] Holodeck Crashes on Startup strand, Many of us ^, have been having this issue since S8 was released.. myself included.

Same problem here, ever since season 8 started on Tuesday. Cryptic knows about it and we are "top priority" ... which means what, exactly? To me it should mean: stop all other maintenance, look at the code on Monday, look at the code on Tuesday, compare, look for the changes, figure out which change is the bug, fix it. For a "top priority" problem, it takes four days to do that and still not have a fix?
If we get just a "You can log in now" and leave it at that I'll likely delete STO from the PC (Yes even as a LTS) and simply never play again.
You might as well delete STO now, then. They won't be giving out free anything. At best they will extend the events by a few days, and I am not holding my breath on that, either.

That, or delete the game and move on. You'll be happier. Yeah, you'll deprive this poster of some of his entertainment, but I'm sure he'll survive.

People who say things like this have obviously never been slapped in the face. You gotta love the internet. :P
Well.. to be honest.. no.. was more of liked.. Clawed... (Was a girl, she had long nails.. it stung), Nevr stand up to crazy women.. just be smart.. run away. :P. And hey, it "Could" happen, mind I agree we'll likely get nothing.. and as annoyed as I am about all this I'll likely continue playing.. after taking a few weeks off after this fiasco. Which is more or less what I've been doing, I reinstalled SWTOR and am resubbing to it til this is fixed. I love both games.. sadly Space in SWTOR Sucks and Ground in STO sucks'ish (I've played worse), Its too bad we cant have STO's Space Combat and SWTOR's combat all in one game. (But not Cross-Genre, SW meets ST would be bizarre)
Edit: And yes, I'd like to get my Tribble too.. I collect them on Kheldryn.. and he breeds them (well.. used to) have a bank full of the silly things.

i am starting to get ticked off, 4 days of this and they STILL can't figure out how to stop the crashes? you know i am a patient guy but i spent time and money on the game which i enjoy and i still can't play season 8? my patience is starting to run thin.....
1. day. everything worked fine and dandy. managed to login from the getgo.
Now, then... ...Something has been messed up pretty well. I just cannot get past the LoR Loadscreen anymore.

Also, it isn't that hard to at least want the Solanae Tribble event extended.
Anyways, I am going to buy a PWE Prepaid Card to put in so that I have the Zen around when they do finally fix the game for us and we can play again.
(Hopefully by the time I come home from work today..and leaving now.)
Anyway, since we won't be able to play over the weekend, i went ahead and started downloading path of exile. Gotta play something in my free time. :P
