If I've been driving to work over a bridge for years and then suddenly one day I arrive at the bridge to find it's been blown up, do I then blame my car because I can't get to work?
I think not...
This analogy doesn't work, unless the bridge requires your car to 'log in' to authorize you to cross the bridge, and that log in is what triggered the bridge to explode. And only your 'lane' of the bridge exploded (well, ok, you lane, my lane, his lane, that dude over there, etc.) while other 'lanes' of the bridge are unaffected.
Just because your machine hasn't changed does not mean it isn't part of the problem. Otherwise *no one* would be able to log in. There is something in the game code that does not like certain combinations of drivers and software - maybe a hundred or two hundred specific combinations in the literal thousands of possible configurations.
Quite frankly, I am often amazed that PCs work at all.
My 'lane' is still marked with the dreaded 7741 error. Not that I expected anything else today.

Using that Swift Shader .dll I was able to log on. I cannot make anything out, though. The graphics are all garbled.

So do you think that I am safe by not logging in to expose my toons to the bugs? I figure to give it a few more patches and wait till the toon-destroying bug reports have abated.
"It's a Bug world." Oh No! The game is morphing to 'Starship Troopers Online'! Bugs are everywhere! Retreat! Retreat!! Where is the orbital bombardment? Retreat!!!!
I used the swift shader.dll program and got past the cryptic loader crash. But the game freezes it seems on the title screen when loading. I let it sit for about 5-6 minutes and nothing. This reminds me of the patch issue that occurred with the MMO 9dragons. Before they released patch 14 I think it was, the game went smoothly for me and frankly everyone. After they released that patch though, a small group of players (myself included), could no longer play the game due to major lag and/or timing out. Only those with very good laptops and desktops, like my friend, did not experience any issues. They kept telling us that they would try to find a solution and to check your computer hardware, drivers, etc but that never fixed anything.
I gave up on the game and decided to wait till I get a better computer to try it. I hear there is a newer version of it out now.
Cryptic, what's your beef with my Radeon graphics card? I'm starting to get sick of 18897741
Good than its not just My Radeon X1550 Series As the only help I have gotten from support is a Suggestion that I update my drivers which btw are updated and then a little side note was told they can not reproduce the error on their end ....and that tells me there is little hope in the near future ~! and that goes against my normal hopeful out look on life
Pretty much. That's been part of the problem from the beginning; different video cards, different processors, different operating systems, different amounts of RAM, different internet providers, different aged computers, different types of computers (laptops and desktops both), you name it - the only common denominator has been that we can't get into the game. If there were some kind of commonality to work from, this situation would probably been resolved long ago...

^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Some/any info regarding problem would be greatly appreciated as opposed to the rare " We're still looking into the problem." It's like being put on terminal hold without the repeating, " Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line and the next available customer service representative will be with you shortly."
The moment I read that, this song started playing in my head...
Regarding the Gateway: If you browse straight to gateway.startrekonline.com it could be that it will try to show the Tribble Chars, and when there are none he will show of course none. It is working for me here if I go to the auth.startrekonline.com for Holodeck, and authtest.startrekonline.com for Tribble.
Btw... are we at 300 yet? This! Is!! 18897741!!! ^^"

i've been forced back to Battlestar Galactica Online... if this issue doesn't get resolved soon i think i'll loose interest in STO and just stay on BGO the only way that i can see this getting any better is if STO does the following:
1) Fix the game
2) gives us that tribble
3) Gives us 300 lobi, 250k Dilithium and 50mil ec as compensation and to restore faith in them (btw it will for me)
4) they organize an in-game party and bring those little sausages on sticks, and ice cream and a good DJ and all the good stuff
5) (optional) they name a planet after me

gateway. startrekonline.com is linked to Tribble? Have used Tribble only a short time before LoR
I always used gateway... for my 2 Holodeck characters.
auth.startrekonline.com isnt working either, and I just see the name for my main character.

It's affecting Radeon (ATI-AMD) and NVidia
And Intel Integrated Graphics...
So basically everything.
