If i start the game Launcer the launcher says: Unable to authenticate.

So what is the problem?

    Same issue here.
    If the situation is counter diplomatic, then we must follow with force.

    Hello,
    I have the same "unable to authenticate" error too. Is there any word on what is going on?

    I found this site, http://stostatus.com/ , thanks 106th fleet! Basically it's saying the account server is dead, maybe it's just down for maintenance although it's 2 days before they said Arc would go down, maybe those that will be live during that downtime have to go down first.

    Thankfully I got my last batch of Lobi from the FE before this happened.

    The account server is down.

    Seems to be more than just STO. Some have reported that all Cryptic games are down.

    just reopened the launcher for the the 100th time and "Star Trek Online is currently offline. We are aware of this issue and currently working on bringing it back online as soon as possible" was poping up.

    Okay folks, if you're still having issues even after todays downtime (which how i missed this thread when doing the merging who only knows... I blame no coffee)

    There needs to be some details happening here - Please read http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=225155 and post replies so if there is a common thread it's easier to track down then just throwing out guesses.
