I'm have the same problem, i load up the game, it flickers for 5 seconds then it all turns blank and says Error -2 when loading url path /launcher_login
Sounds like both of you are suffering from 'corrupted data' on your connection the STO Servers. Running the 'Trace Route' and 'Net Test' network diagnostics, and posting the results would help provide some necessary information for solving this problem... http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=225155
Same issue here, starting today. Running through Steam, it displays the login page for a second, then kicks to Error -2. Accessing the URL in a browser window showed it working fine. Restarting, rebooting, verifying data, and even deleting and reinstalling did not resolve. However, I can say with confidence that it's not a network issue - launching manually from outside Steam worked perfectly fine, even while the Steam copy was displaying the error.
What's going on here? Are others able to dodge around it this way?
EDIT: Okay, it's not Steam vs manual launch. It has to have two copies open; the first one will show the error, the second will go through properly. Even weirder.

I am using steam if that means anything
launcher is very slow, and patching takes ages

Day 2- error establish connection to Patch Server

anyone know what URL the launcher is trying to reach?
I was playing happily, logged off to get some sleep.
Decided sleep was for the weak and came back to do some gaming...
What fixed this for me was resetting my modem to factory defaults.
