There is apparently a fix coming tomorrow, so I hope they extend the event. it's pretty crappy that this issue happened during one of the largest Star Trek Holidays. Game's been out how many years now? over 8 years? and they can't figure out how to patch a game?

Same error here, I have been playing this game since the beta and the quality of the basic operation of this game is - at the moment - the worst its been I think.
If you try launching the game directly, for me "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Trek Online\Star Trek Online\Live\x64", there are a few DLLs missing from the build. My guess is whomever packaged it up forgot a bunch of files.
I have tried both Arc and Steam and it was the same result.
PhysXCooking_64.dll missing
steam_api64.dll missing
vivoxsdk.dll missing
Copied PhysXCooking_64.dll and steam_api64.dll from other games, but I cannot find vivoxsdk.dll.
Until they fix their build, there will be no pew-pew.
I fully confirm this.
- Patched 1h ago, game completely broken.
- Copying the .dlls from an older backup did not make it work, it just throws new error.
- Full install from scratch - same problem, dlls are missing, gameclient not launching (only launcher UI works).
The launcher forced me to download another 2gb+ patch - after the patch was completed I now get the message "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly" when I try to press engage
Sadly, same issue here. I tried Force Verifying, Safe Mode, deleting all my hogg files and redownloading them, trying to use the US proxy, restarting, running check disk on my SSD, checking for driver updates. Looks like it's an issue with the client?
Experienced a different problem with the game crashing on attempting to beam to Vulcan - ticket submitted.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran straight into this bun fight - "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly"
Wish that I had checked this forum BEFORE uninstalling
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 everthing is up to date and perfect.
I just tried to play Illusion of Communication mission and it crashes to desktop (100% of the time) trying to load a file. I have that character stuck in that loop now.
I have 2 characters stuck like that now. They are both on separate missions. It freezes while loading at 46.13.
I think I have something similar going on. I tried to play the last mission of the Delta Quadrant missions, and while trying to beam down to the planet my game crashed. And then it crashed every time I tried to load that character.
The good news was that after waiting a while (I think it is 15 minutes, after that your character gets booted from an instance) I was back in space. Of course little curious me tried to play the mission again and it crashed again.
but seeing the responses here, it is not the mission that is bugged, but a more global issue.

yeah i got really into it a couple days ago shame i only had a few good hours before i randoky got kicked off and couldnt get back in since, I have always been a treky, so finding this game with a big universe i had big hopes lol.
Same problem here. I just wasted two hours installing, reinstalling, verifying, working with NVIDIA drivers and rebooting, trying to fix a problem I can't fix on my end. This experience felt less than professional.

I can honestly say - you are not alone in that boat. It normally isn't that bad - yes like all games it happens occassionally but bear with it...
