    Noooooooooooo it's broken for me lol.

    As soon as I get to the LoR loading screen, I get "GameClient.exe is not responding" and then dumps to desktop. Tried several times now.

    What do?

    Well done, Cryptic!

    Woot shame I am not home right now. Time to hunt down some Bacon when I login later. :)
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    oh it's live, except for the exact same group of people that keep getting the same exact graphic error,

    over... and over... and over...

    I wonder, how in the bloody hell do you developers keep managing to make the same TRIBBLE up and forget the graphic error? and before you say "a handful of people were reporting it' not everyone does the tribble testing and yes, we did report the bug was back...

    30191178, that's the bug. the bet is 6-8 weeks now before you fix it

    Congratulation, just tried out the new content space fight.
    You managed to put everything I hated about in Dyson control scenarios and mirror invasion in one package! :mad:

    I soooo love being swarmed by 10 Undinie ship and blown up..
    In fact all my team mates loved it soooo much they actually left before I could do it. :rolleyes:

    I really hope this was one of Cryptics usual spectacular failure in patching in new content and not what was intended.

    Thumbs up though for better graphics, so at least I got something from season 9.

    Edit: At least it was workable at normal, so I guess that is what any sane person will be doing...

    Another Edit: Normal is not to be done by alts not having at least Mk XII rare equipment, but preferably fleet equipment. Do not think Cryptic test normal vs. normal ships. :rolleyes:

    A test server is supposed to be used to properly test patches before patching anything....

    ok quick update (and work around)

    dont login via arc or the launcher

    go directly to th gameclient.exe and run it.. the game will not crash to desktop then and you'll be able to login via the game internally.

    should help for those who were havng the same problem as i



    alas though it seems the account server is timing out (at least over here in the UK)

    HOLY MOTHER OF ALL EPIC FINISHES THAT WAS AWESOME.

    And the Undine-go-byebye-torps don't work quite so unrealistically well anymore!

    And UndineQuinn...only not really. Oh, well. Save it for the fanfics :D

    So loved the new ESD once I found my way round it and just did a mission to get my Undine marks as my existing marks boxes dont allow me to select undine marks :( New STF is okay but seems a little to cluttered to be organised.

    One question though: If I had a fully patched client before I logged in why did I get a 474MB pre patch on logout?

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    1) my alien toon now has a telekinetic attack trait that it did not have before.
    2) no hangar trays on my kar'fi. (appeared again after 2 map transfers).
    3) Klingon uniforms are still bugged in the tailor (nice to have all these new uniform modifications and can't use them)
    4) Lethean toon only has access to the traits he had before the revamp, no extras to switch around.
    5) a: Character with all previous reps maxxed has no rep traits available to choose from. On rep screen it says "your character requires a skill respec to be able to view or choose a reputation skill."
    5) b: When I then click the "respec" button on the skill page it just closes the page.
    6) some items/stacks in inventory are blank but have stack numbers on them. Cannot hover over item to identify what is actually there. Right clicking on the blank items and selecting "info" gives a blank pop up.
    7) kdf aligned reman is stuck with a resilliant trait, no way to remove it

    Funny story, all issues I have found so far are only on kdf/kdf aligned toons. Not one issue found so far with any of my fed/fed aligned toons as of this point. Bias against testing on kdf side cryptic?

    I have to say ESD is truly truly amazing! You have surpassed my greatest expectations. Congratulations guys! Just one thing: could you put a door on the admiral's office... I understand that's a whole lot of work... But it really is unrealistic, and it would give ESD that last touch of extra class.

    Can we please have the Legacy of Romulus load screen replaced with one for this season? I've always hated that crappy looking lawn ornament looking title screen.

    Very slick! And came on earlier than expected.

    Seems nice so far- I'd been having discoloration issues the past two days, including having half a ground map be grey blobs for background and skin colors going wonky periodically, but not having a single issue with that so far. Ship even feels like it handles slightly (slightly!) better!

    Sure some of the lines aren't as smooth as they could be but that's not too big a deal. Seems like a comparably smooth roll out!

    I am really pleased with the mission. All of it was fun, and the reveal at the end? Pure Awesome. I'm guessing the next part will feature more of the Iconians? Anyway, awesome job, Cryptic, on the mission as well as everything else.

    This is very well done. The Mission making team has been doing well lately, and they did well again.

    The rewards are also surprisingly nice.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Incredible season.

    Unparalleled success.

    EPIC.

    Undine failbox aside, that was EPIC.

    Earth Spacedock - just amazing. Outstanding work there.

    I played the kill the 3 planet killer mission. It was interesting. Very different slipping and sliding.
    Will give everything else a try later.

    Would LOVE to check out the new ESD but I can't because a major bug is making my controller not work so I can't move anywhere or do anything.

    Check out the full trailer for Season 9: A New Accord here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcNY4a1GL4

    Hint to new Trailer guy/gal :

    STO Trailers usually look much better when they feature a number of ships (out of the dozens) that are available to play in-game .

    Doing a Trailer using only 2 ships (when we have 3 Factions...) comes across as a rushed job .
    A VERY rushed job .

    You know what? Surface Tension was so awesome it managed to make me forget about the lockboxes. I must go back to it before they resurface into my mind.

    I read the patch notes and nowhere in them can I find anything about controller support being disabled/removed. Yet my controller doesn't work in game.
