Best post ever!
Dyslexus of Brog would be proud!
I had trouble understanding and answering him earlier but knowing he's not english native helped me avoiding making fun of him.
I think that's called leniency !
Now you can try speaking Dutch (duddutcher) or even French (me) or even spanish german, etc and see how people will make fun of you
Nah. But by the same token, being a monolingual dumb*** means that I wouldn't even try posting on a a website that doesn't communicate in the only language my tiny brain can comprehend,
Mac client still not working. In fact its gotten WORSE.
Now there is no Engage button and the launcher gets stuck on "attempting to connect to controller tracker"
Whatever you guys did, broke the mac client even more.
I think that is not a mac-specific problem. I have that on my Windows PC, too.
yeah but the mac client was already completely broken where windows users could actually get in game. so yeah as far as mac users go, things have gotten worse.
thx for the help and now i wil talk some dutch wie dit leest en snapt kan nederlands deze taal is voor veel niet makkelijk te spreken door bij voor beeld de G die op een andere manier uitspreken dan de rest van de wereld So dont complain plz im not as good at english than you are but im at liest traying to learn it i would say go to you tube type vakogames and try to understand it. and doyouw again thx
I really hate to be that guy (since the other guy was being a jerk to you), but technically posting in different languages is against the forum rules.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Not sure about Mac users, had the same issue on PC. Exited out of the Star Trek Online.exe launcher. Ran the ARC launcher, logged in and found this missing tracker no problems... give it a try.
Actually, I mentioned far more technically speaking than I tend to. Talking about the AccountServer and calling that out as a restart is unconventional by my standards. I usually joke around about only knowing how to make blogs and take pictures, and that they don't let me around the servers. I actually am aware of a little more than that. I spent about an hour talking to and subsequently grilling one of our networking engineers (he's a nice guy).
You see, when I do post an update with technical information, it can be widely misinterpreted. The mere mention of a restart, which is by all means a rather standard industry practice, already invokes a sense of concern by some. I'm not proficient enough to afford a full technical breakdown, so I generally lean on the side of "we're doing stuff" because otherwise it can be grossly misinterpreted. A little bit of knowledge and suddenly people panic. So instead I generally prefer to keep you posted as the interpreter of progress, rather than the 1-to-1 relay. That and an occasional quip. Tis my nature.

Have a great weekend and make sure they compensate you for working on your day off!!
Do you know what we need in this forum? A clock where everyone can see at what time in their time zone the maintenance starts and ends. Maybe on the top of the page, everytime maintenance starts a banner pops and it tells us how many hours until we can play again. I hope this idea gets approved and a shinny T6 comes my way. (LOL)
Just to give a tip here: You can adjust your windows-clock to display as much timezones as you wish. I just added PDT and UTC, so no more confusion about that (even if the UTC time in launcher wasn't correct). This definetly works from Win7 on, don't know if previous versions support it as well.
The option can be found by right-clicking on the clock, choosing clock properties (if its called like that in english versions) and then there should be a link or tab for additional clock properties from which you can get to an option for adding more timezones.

They are doing accountserver and network maintenance. They won't be fixing bugs today.
I'm sure that they'll be fixing bugs today. They just won't be patching. (Or maybe they're having an early Halloween, and getting drunk on pumpkin vodka.)

Great How-To! Especially for the people in charge of the Launcher, or practically anyone doing announcements.
The whole reason UTC is exists is so everyone only needs to know one thing: where they are currently related to UTC. So giving out times in UTC in a global service can avoid a LOT of confusion.
Trendy (or was it Smirk? Or probably both) DID give use UTC in addition to PST for some time, but then it suddenly stopped.
Please Trendy, do that again. You'll get a virtual cookie!
Wow, 4 days of not being able to play with the game crashing immediately after the map loads, then, this morning I finally get in ...... with 30 minutes to go before the servers go down.
It is now a few hours later, and besides now having a controller/tracker that seems to have gone AWOL, when it does get past that, it is right back to crashing as soon as the first map loads. No free ship, no free inventory slots, looks like I'm not gonna get whatever the first weeks reward is for the new mission either, or the one for Hearts and Minds, even though I have at least TRIED to play every single day.......
I'm in.
Thank you LaughingTrendy for all our communications and keep up the good work. Don't let the complainers get to you.
I like your sense of humour(Canadian/UK spelling) too!
Isn't it always nice when their maintances break something and no info is given?
There's definitely something going on.
Couple tries and nothing worked. Then it magically let me in but when I alt-tabbed it crahsed. Then after a couple more tries where it couldn't reach the tracker and right now I made it in again....
Someone needs to keep track of that tracker.
is there any updates on status of controller tracker situation? looks like some people can get in while others like myself are stuck trying to get past the controller tracker. What kind of feedback does the team need in order to help them resolve this issue?
And no conformation. After 44 min still: attempting to.. etc. (Had dinner while waiting.)
But:
After stopping and restarting the launcher I was in in seconds...
HERE IS A TEMP FIX TO GET INTO STO! I have verified this by trying to login several times...
1. Use a client other than ARC - like Steam.
2. When the login window appears, click on OPTIONS and check "FORCE VERIFY".
3. Login to STO and let it do it's verification.
4. Enjoy playing STO again.
You will have to do this Force Verification everytime you login until they track down the tracker.
I got in after mastergeek63 posted. I do not use Arc, I use the original launcher, and did not have to Force Verify or anything else out of the ordinary.

And Windows OS as well..
Happens with ARC launcher and non-ARC launcher as well..
ARC doesn't work either.
(Watchmen reference...)
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy

The server maybe, the tracker went to take a hike somehwere.
