    The Landing Screen is probably gonna take a few days to track down the cause.

    Still no fix for the "Cant Buy Starter Pack" bug, and nothing for the landing page rioting, I see.

    "Can't Buy Starter Pack" is hilarious.

    I'm finding it annoying, it seems to require extra mouse-clicking for the same results & it just adds visual clutter, but I'm curious to learn what "oops" is happening with it.

    Its not supposed to be popping up on every character swap.

    Hey folks, we'll be making some changes to the landing page in an upcoming update - it was intended to only appear once per account, not once per character.
    From the feedback thread.

    Ah okay, thanks rattler2, I just assumed it was just another added Cryptic "feature". :-) If/when that gets fixed that will definitely make it far less bothersome. Thanks again for explaining. I'm still curious what official stance decided to end the subscription option, because with the Elite Starter Pack offerings there's nothing exclusive to it let alone all the glitches with it & even with this Landing Page addition what does this Landing Page offer that wasn't there before?

    Will this fix the Tribble issue, too? It's rather irritating that I can't log in there to see the new content, much less be able to test it.

    To my understanding you have to be a subscriber &/or a LTS to "currently" access Tribble test server. Cryptic locks it down for the paying from time to time as a suggested perk for the paying players versus the free players. Now if you are LTS & still cannot access Tribble I'd say then there's a problem since you should be able to. It seems Cryptic is having an abundance of glitches currently with all the things their trying to juggle.

    I am an LTS, since around S2, or a little bit after. Was one by S3, though and before Legacy hit. I only did that because the Atari site wouldn't let me renew my game time cards. It had given me the most ridiculous error I've EVER seen in that regard, something about not accepting the purchase from the country of my residence, despite being in US. After over a week or two of trying to sort it out and not being successful, I finally went for LTS as soon as a sale came on, out of my sheer frustration.

    I was able to get back into Tribble the last update for it.

    Nice news that you resolved those horribles crashes but this maintenance will be done one more time during mirror event witch is so hard to farm.
    Why this was not done yesterday as well as general maintenance?
    Thanks anyway for the work done.

    They probably found the issue after the patch. And since this particular issue was preventing players from actually playing... it warrented pushing it out before the next regularly scheduled patch.

    Hoping the intel graphics folk are also gonna get some respite from the graphical issues in game..Since yesterday ESD became the most TRIBBLE place for me to be at graphically with all my graphics turned down to rock bottom minimum also..Yes I am waiting for RAM and graphics card prices to drop as predicted by many forums, cant wait to build my new rig..

    Also what about the x64 issues that have been reported here on the forums?

    With regard to the MI event, I dont know if it was me but it felt considerably shorter yesterday night when I played it..Not the OH TRIBBLE FEST like the last one where hord kept coming through the portal in groups of 3..This time as soon as LVL5 was reached on the relays the hords stopped and the dread appeared..

    An important fix for people that are experiencing the problem.

    I too am wondering why tribble will be opened up, I foolishly bought the elite start pack instead of a subscription and now find I can't get on and see what is happening with Cardassians.

    What isn't in the notes, is that the 'what time is it for me' is fixed. Thanks Kael!
