    I am having same issue. Unable to log in, getting server timed out error.
  • tahlloltahllol Member Posts: 38 Arc User
    Same here.
  • eazzieeazzie Member Posts: 4,231 Arc User
    Force verify. Make sure on demand patching is not on. Try starting in safe mode. Also make sure drivers are all up to date.
  • tahlloltahllol Member Posts: 38 Arc User
    Did all that including uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
  • daarkangyylldaarkangyyll Member Posts: 3 Arc User
    I'm getting a version mismatch message. tried patching 15 times and still no luck getting in. Uninstalled/Reinstalled game and it still gives me the message.

    Have you turned off On Demand Patching in the Options menu of the STO launcher, turned on Force Verify there as well, let it patch, and tried again?

    Yes, on demand patching is off and force verify is on. I've patched 20 or more times and the problem still persists. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. problem still exists

    Same here. Hopped on to see if it was a known issue. Worked fine earlier today. "unable to start game, client quit unexpectedly"

    I played the game for several hours today and shut down the game. I tried to login about half an hour ago and evidently there was another, possibly, pre-patch... probably in preparation for tomorrow. Now I am getting the message "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly." after entering my login/password and hitting Engage.

    Did a Force Verify and it stopped around file 107*** and came up with "Error 2: File not found." The launcher then downloaded a file 1788.* mb in size and hit Engage again... still getting the error... "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly."

    Update: After digging in other areas, it seems that this is a known issue... possibly with the patch server and the devs will probably have to throw out another patch to correct this.

    Exact same issue, been away for quite some time and ran into this login issue, quite annoying >.>.

    Also noticed that even though its patching it not taking up any actual space on the drive its installing too ? So is it *Actually* installing the 2GB+ patch or just wasting our time ?
  • cisticolacisticola Member Posts: 7 Arc User
    On twitter (really? I need to go there) it says,
    "Looks like there's some kind of issue with logging in on PC, we're investigating.", and
    "We're likely going to have to put out a patch in the morning to fix this issue"

    That was over 7 hours ago, so I guess a patch during today's maintenance period...

    same here i tried everything... literally everything including reinstall clean. safe mode, re patching, admin doesnt work. launching through steam, as well... the error just randomly started no rhyme or reason. i have a brand new computer and everything is up to date and perfect.
  • scotty74321scotty74321 Member Posts: 95 Arc User

    Game was working fine yesterday evening. This afternoon the client downloaded and installed a patch and now I'm also getting this message. Hopefully they'll fix this issue soon.
    So you want a Caitian science officer? Not a very good idea, after all curiosity killed the cat.

    I've been waiting over 12hrs since it became impossible to enter the game.
  • eazzieeazzie Member Posts: 4,231 Arc User
    Thought maintenance was scheduled for today. The banner has gone from the launcher and the status of the server says still up.
  • captainbaileycaptainbailey Member Posts: 356 Arc User
