Same issue. client quit unexpectedly. I'm a programmer. Are you hiring? 30+ years experience. I've even offered to do it for free a couple times in the past.
This happened years ago, around 2016 and it was a mess to sort, I hope they have the best jerryrigging techs on the job.
When it is sorted , check all you toons, all your stuff , and all your traits carefully especially if you have a lot of toons. I hope the fix they get is a clean roll back or , clean corruption patch.
Laddy, don't you think you should... rephrase that??
Isn't the server supposed to be down for the maintenance? (screenshots taken at this very minute)
Yes, but they are probably scratching their heads and working on this issue instead of taking down the servers to patch and still not having anyone able to get back in.
Twitter uddate: Due to the same technical issues we were struggling with last night, this morning's patch has been delayed until a very nebulous "later today." We'll keep you updated as best we can.
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
Same. Since last night force update (the game) now I get "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly". I have done 5 force verifies and 5 reboots.
I have an old Delta Recruit character that is stuck in the mission where the Tal Shira is controlling your mind and you are trying to escape. I complete the ground portion and the next step is to escape to your ship. Crashes at that point and now future attempts to load character will crash the client.
I wanted to fix an issue tied to a Delta recruit character crashing the game when I try to load it and I also have an issue with the current (April 6) Red Alert event crashing the game when the TFO tries to load to warp in. Now that I used the option, trying to use the Engage button causes the message client failed to start. I also tried playing on Linux (Ubuntu) but that version crashes too often to be worth attempting.
Getting very frustrated with this experience trying to return to the game I used to enjoy.
I am experiencing the same exact issue. It was working around 6AM CDT today (6th). After it patched I logged into KDF character at ship vendor. Went to transporter and game crashed. Got first gameclient crash, Did force verify and safe login to no avail. Tried deleting prepatch\piggs\*.hogg files / gameclient program and verify / safe again. No joy, still get "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly" after GameClient.exe was restored. Many of the *\Live\piggs\*.hogg files are only 65k after the force verify. Hopefully, they will fix this soon.
Any news if this is fixed or affecting everyone? Can we get news when it is fixed? 3.5gig something dl after the 2.something dl that broke yesterday and still experiencing same issue,client crashed unexpectedly or something.
Same issue and it is almost 1:00 PM EST. As usual whenever a patch occurs. Hope all of your toons were in space somewhere or you may have lost your loadouts as well. Never/Always fails.
at around 1130 pm PST I was on my KDF char, trying to go into the bridge, was loading and it was doing some On-demand patching, at that point it crashed to desktop, with an error code, (dont remember sorry) tried again with same character, crash, different error code, etc, tried logging in with different chr i could with no issue.
then i tired fixing the problem by deleting the bins.hogg file and i think the data.hogg file and forcing a verify.
after that, it became to Client closed unexipectitedly problem.
Logged in no problem, did my event daily, got my endeavors out of the way, set up and leveled a new ship, decided to try out the new event universal module, so I transwarped to Nimbus, and my character is now apparently caught in a black hole of crashing on load. I can log into other characters, but not that one.

Some may be missing out on completing it. Others, like me, will miss out on 14K of Dil.

My response was on a separate thread but with a similar header. I put in the request to merge the other thread into this one.
*Update:
It's no longer showing that shard maintenance is to be taking place...
...but it is still giving me the same error.

I'm jusing steam.
