Game Client won't start (Holodeck)

-Login went fine
-Downloading today's patch went fine (at first glance)
-Hitting "Engage" button always results in message:
"Unable to start game client: Windows error code 0 (While attempting to format received error code 15100.)"
[edit: sometimes 15105]

No problems with tribble, can get there without problems. Only holodeck...

anyone has a helpful suggestion? :S

    I haven't been able to connect for 3 days, ever since the last up date I can patch but when I hit engage it crashes with the error.

    So have you try the 'Verify Files' option in the Launcher ???

    Hey.
    Just thought I'd post in this thread... but my patcher isn't even updating since 2 days... says it's unable to connect to the patch server. What to do about this?
    Thanks in advance :)

    You take a look at this thread... http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=225155

    ... then post some network diagnostic information. Without the diagnostics, its anyone's guess as to the cause of your Patch Server connection issue...

    Error I am receiving after clicking the verify all files. Guess I won't be playing until this gets fixed, good luck.

    Fatal Error: Unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to Patch Server: The connection was idle for too long

    Played earlier no problems launching or playing. Tried logon and patch came up ending in 27. Timed out with same message. Verified files no help there, went to on demand patching, did the download but at launch same error. Submitted ticket.

    Checked the windows update logs and found there was an auto update right before my problems began. Computer maker website suggested rechecking network setting and I did find a dns error.
    Disconnected power to router and did a shutdown of the pc, restarted router let it reestablish connection then restarted pc. Started game launcher, worked with no problems.
    Either issue fixed by cryptic or restart helped with launcher router handshake, all I know is Im back up.

    I flushed DNS and shutdown - restarted router, modem & computer and was able to connect after 4 days of searching.

    If your launcher gets stuck on the black "Loading. Please Wait" screen flushing the DNS could help.

    Open Command Prompt
    Type: ipconfig /flushdns

    Then restart PC

    It did solve the problem for me
