It's weekend night, Doffs throwin' a party,
Ship's a mess, 'cause they're gettin' all gnarly,
I see my crew, they're chillin' on Beta,
Can't say hi, I've no workin' data,
I'm tryin' hard, to launch my computer,
Changin' code, like a Roto-rooter,
I'd love to play, I crash to my desktop,
Makes me mad, Season 8 is a big flop,
I get a call, it's a friend from my homeroom,
Asks me out, I shout "YES!" like a sonic boom,
We cruise the mall, visit peeps who are all rad,
Feelin' good, weekend nights -- they ain't so bad!
The Question Of Whether Or Not We Are Alone In The Universe...
(And if we can stack more than 999 post in a thread), Has Been Answered.
Yes Folks! That's Right! It's time once again... "The Second annual (Last 500), Most Amusing Posts Award's!"
We have a special surprise for you tonight, Weird Al will be singing "The Who's, Behind Blue Eye's",
With lyrics like: "No-one knows what it's like, to be a le-per, to be dis-car-ded, from sea-son 8".
So with no further ado, The envelope please! (I'm happy to say the "envelope" is a little too thick to multi-quote all of the
Amusing entries, so they have been edited for content, and time allotted. The actual post # may have changed slightly, due to deletions, etc).
rabiddsaint post 514 "New universe on a new server. Call it 'Crash Universe' server. This is the place us degenerates that crash on load of season 8 can still play on the pre-season 8 version. We could be like the lepers of season 8 sector space but at least we could still shoot 'em up.
Season 8 players could still visit us, but only with the fear of contracting the 'crash' disease and not being able to return to season 8 space."
For inspiring the creation of the Fleet of Lepers, and Fleet of Discarded Lepers,
without which, we would not have a name for our home away from home.

Due to boredom, I updated my pc from xp professional to win 7 ultimate today. Installed all new drivers for everything. I spent all day redownloading STO and....nothing.
I didnt expect to get in,as others have tried this as well. But once the fix is done, at least me pc will be updated.
I guess I will go back to playing Mass Effect series until then.
Just like JennyLuve, I just deleted the ' piggs ' folder completely , and also the ' prepatch ' folder (to get rid of ALL Patch files , and then launched the game again , so it would Automatically re-download all PATCH FILES... and it did, and I could get into STO with all areas , including the new Season 8 areas/maps working... Hope this helps all. ~ Nolan

I couldn't find a JennyLuve in searching this thread, but I think your referring to the launcher
patching updater problem in a few posts,(ie: "ok got a fix been stuk in a patch loop on finnal part of 225mb patch it keeped crashing at 95%"), which seems (to me), a different problem altogether from the game crashing on startup.
i think i am MORE PISSED thet they are having a 15% zen purchase increase promotion the same weekend it is down and expect US THE leper fleet to buy zen to get the discount. why give ANY MONEY FOR DAMAGED GOODS.
aside from this game being in two different file folders
D:program files/ Perfect world
and
D:STO
i cannot find anything labeled patch to find the info request, can you provide a command path?
thanks
here's how i got there... my computer right click on hard drive (mine is listed as C) then explore... program files /cryptic studios/live/.patch/patch trivia its a text file open to notepad at the bottom it says on mine also season 9
... hope this is what you needed...

For what it is worth I checked mine as well, also says season 9.
That being said, blame me. Shortly after I started playing there was the bug with the launcher failing to update. This went on and on and on until I quit. Now I came back and after a few months boom new bug that wont let a huge chunk of the base play.
Okay, so it's not processor-specific? Since it crashes both on Athlon64 3200+, 3700+ 3800+ & on Intel Core2 E8400.
Looks like your DirectX 9.0c is the same version 4.09.0000.0904 as my friend's. Is that the most current version, or is there another build that's later? I find it difficult to find the latest DirectX build info in the web.
dont think diretx is an issue as iv pointed out this issue is on.

BTW I was wondering if there would there be enough interested parties to actually form the Fleet of Lepers in game?
We each grab an alt and put it in. Open door policy for us only restriction would be we have to have suffered from the crashes.
Starbase wouldnt matter We could start it for fc's for the alts if you want the gear though go to your main fleet grab it then come back.
just a thought.

id you use arc just look at the games library its all cryiptic

if you are lucky enough to have DDR2 1.8v generic, you can get 2GB ram for very cheap

I would wait and see if a Dev posts monday about it or at least someone with enough know how to reset anything back if it screws up worse.
has anyone tried to run the game on a proxy?
So this could explain the whole Season 9 in the Patch Files.
