    Comments like this don't help. It is a minor setback that will be sorted. We just have to be patient.

    I've tried multiple times to login to this game. It is completely random. I actually got all the way into game on one character after about 10 tries. Then I tried to swap characters to do dailies on another and it refuses to let me back in after about 30ish tries. First character was on Kobali Prime and second is on Earth Space Dock if that helps or matters. Also I got this message during the last try to log into the character on Earth Space Dock "ERROR: attempted to update skeleton with no Costume
    Line: c:\src\libs\WorldLib\dynSkeleton.c(6762)"

    Update Edit: I was finally able to get onto the character parked on ESD. It took about another 5 tries to finally get into though. Again it seems random there will be 3 times where I cannot even select a character before getting disconnected. Then there are times I'll be able to pick a character every time but get logged out during map move(load in) of the character.

    Yeah I have agree, as person who has to deal with the public all the time (security officer) when I get that type of attitude, they do not get in the building even.

    Still doing it. I've tried to connect 25 times and still can't connect. Several times I was able to get to a load screen and when it gets to 98% , it disconnects.

    The moment I know something and get the green light to post it, you guys will know something. Just a really nasty bug from the looks of it. These things come from time to time.

    Also please keep all comments civil. I don't like when issues like this crop up either but it will get ironed out in due time.

    Attempting to log in from the UK via Sky Broadband (Sky UK Limited) using ARC with unfortunately very limited success.

    Also, It may also be absolutely nothing but when I was disconnected last time the launcher repeatedly displayed the following error message.

    ERROR : attempted to update skeleton with no costume
    Line : C: \src\libs\WorldLib\dynSkeleton.c(6762)


    No idea what that means, so apologies if totally irrelevant.

    After this morning's patch I get to 99.1, sit there for 30 seconds or so, then got a CTD with this error:"

    "ERROR: attempted to update skeleton with no Costume
    Line: c:\src\libs\WorldLib\dynSkeleton.c(6762)"

    Note that I do not have a C:\src folder.

    I have been able to get on this afternoon between 12pm EST and 5pm EST as of right now, yesterdays account server meltdown has returned. Cannot access STO.
  • pomonagrange#3097 pomonagrange Member Posts: 112 Arc User
    I thought the problem was fixed a couple hours ago (or so), since I could log in and use one of my characters (including their promotion at level 40). Spent about 30 minutes on STO, then logged off because I had office work to do (I'm a transcriptionist for my boss, a translator). I just tried to log back in, and the problem is back too.

    Will wait and see if I can get on later this evening or (if need be) as late as midnight (Eastern Time in USA). No sense trying and failing to log-in dozens of times. That probably just makes the hamsters' job even harder. I am wishing them plenty of luck tracking down and stomping on the bug.
