What I find irritating is the number of people that have complained in the tech section (like myself) who log into the game only to have it CONSTANTLY and CONTINUALLY crash on the Delta Rising load screen - yet NOTHING in the patch notes speak to this. Come on guys - its been WEEKS worth of launcher tickets asking what happened when the game crashed from MULTIPLE players.
THIS is part of why I suspect the patch notes section has been closed for comments.
In random other news, STO finally updated on my computer! yay!
PS - should be another 20 minutesish if that dandylu

Patch notes have never allowed comments since they first started except for one time. Had nothing to do with any "crashing" reason.

course it could be worse. it could be a 6-8 hour maintenance where the devs/mods/gms don't even post anything in the forums about extensions or patch notes until after the maintenance is done. ie nexon games.

Ok. My bad then. Maybe you can tell me why its not mentioned in the notes then? Are the right people even aware its a problem? Id really like to be able to participate in the Q event without doing a rain-dance - and no one has responded to the piles of tickets that should be logged over the last few weeks from the launcher.
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

Crashes can depend on numerous situations. Including graphics cards, computer setups, network issues, to finally in game issues. There is a lot of factors to take into consideration and yes, while there are a few players that have these problems it's not a huge number.
I'm not saying that you're not important or anyone else isn't important, but it's a small subset and it could very well be limited to specific computer setups. So the best bet is if you're having crashing issues, and you make a post make sure to include everything about your computer including a dxdiag read out to help narrow down what's going on.

My reply will likely infuriate you, but these crashes are just on your end. Subsidiarily, they're not common across the board. And they're almost invariably indicative of a polluted/corrupted system, rather than having anything to do with Cryptic.
... where we would get things like official announcements when the end of maintenance would be delayed, etcetera.
(And yes, I'm upset; I had a very specific plan for today which included only 45 minutes available to play, and those are... gee... RIGHT NOW.... until after 10 PM. And I've got 20 hr projects and such that are already timed out, which I'm about to lose 12 hours on....)
As I stated in another thread... the person in charge of this task seems to lack the ability to do anything besides tweet. They probably can't form a coherent paragraph or even type on a regular keyboard with any efficiency. Ergo... they can't do their job!
So we are left in the dark, muttering curses at Cyptic/Perfect World, and waiting for something to happen.
It now crashes guess I need to get my new graphics card installed hehe :P
Anywho enjoy folks and if you see an askray running around...it's not me.
Seriously it's not because that's not my handle nor any of my character names :P

Well, as much as I appreciate the reply there are PAGES of these threads that seem to be ignored. And to be honest my set up is pretty good considering the age of the game:
Telling us to go to Twitter or Facebook is not a a solution.
This is the OFFICIAL Forum.
A lot of people don't use twitter or facebook, and shouldn't have to in order to find out what's going on with the game when there's been countless threads regarding maintenance in the past.
And using the excuse that they might not be able to post regarding maintenance for whatever reason is a lame attempt. They don't have any problem posting threads about the latest Lockbox, Z Store items, or Club Openings.
Maybe if they charged us 500 Dilithium per thread to read the forums, they'd be posting updates every 5 minutes. It's become apparent over the last few months that they simply don't care about the players, just what's in their wallet.
Damn, can we have that guy? That's some fine updating.

Did you actually get past the "Connecting to the login server..." window before getting hit by the timeout and being bounced back?
Well, as much as I appreciate the reply there are PAGES of these threads that seem to be ignored. And to be honest my set up is pretty good considering the age of the game:
i5 3230M 2.6GHz
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M
WIN 8.1
All drivers up to date yet . . .
Nope, timeout for me.
"Retrieving Character List..."

...okay, and?

Not so far. Timeout before character screen. :S
Got to the character selection screen but then disconnected while trying to log in.
