We won't be able to get ingame till they fix whatever is wrong with it. BMR has said he will update us as soon as he gets word that it's fixed.
Until then, we won't be able to get ingame.
She. 😊
My apologies
Quite alright. 😊 I'm not a big BAD wolf. I'm just drawn that way. 😉

Started playing just over a month ago WAS really getting into the game Spent a bit of real money already too Now I was wondering if that was a mistake Don't mean to be negative just real. Hope they do get it fixed soon cuz i wanna play Still . But if the game is broke....idk I like doing the quest some great story lines
Don't worry too much about it. Issues like these are very rare.
The last time the game was unplayable for everyone must have been years ago, I can't even remember when it happened to be honest.
At least once or twice a year one of the new events starts out broken for the first day or so, but yes I can't remember when the last game-wide outage happened. STO has been very reliable about that.
Hang in there fellers. Think about it, Do they really want all this down time, which would cause harm on their profit line? Of course not. Yeah, It's frustrating, But hang in there.
My mother always told me to walk away from a fight, The Marines taught me how.
Long as events are extended by a couple days, I'm fine. I wanted to get in yesterday and today, but I always diversify my entertainment interests ^w^ . Its a very good idea in general.
The events are definitely being extended. Sorry about this, gang. It's affecting all of our games, and the team is working their butts off to find the issue and fix it.
Also, gang, I did post about this on the forums. Please remember that the Short News Updates thread exists.
Talking of Tribbles, I do miss doing the Tribble Test Server, in the old days you always got a new Tribble...and that's really my biggest gripe with STO, There Is Just Not Enough Tribbles!
I have scoured the entire game for every Tribble. I have fed them exotic foods, experimented on them, driven myself to bankruptcy, but still...Give me more tribbles!...You know, 'First Contact Tribble, I'm there, I'd be all over it.

<=== guilty. :raises hand:
I call it "sticky blindness" where we fail to notice new posts to the topics stickied at the top of any forum. My telethon accepting donations towards finding a cure will be happening any day now.

The whosiwhatits now?
Seriously, Tell the crew, Take a breath, Relax, The world isn't ending, again, Relax and fix the problem.
you all have done the big three here.
1: You communicated, and not just on here.
2: You explained the problem which kind of ties into point 1.
3: The more you over load the plumbing... <snickers> God Bless, Doohan .
In the mean time, TRIBBLE it, We are all ST fans, Let's start a forum game or something, to help pass the time...

//soo kewl we are getting the events extended -- what about the dill we cannot refine/earn (8000/day refine limit) and our character reps, daily endeavors, fleet projects.......
> @qultuq said: > It is unbelievable that there is no information about this on the website or here. Really what is the point of having a community manager if they aren't communicating with the community.
In General Discussion, there is a stickied thread called STO Short News Updates. Also, the mods and players share news from STO's Twitter account in these threads.
I just tried to get into the launcher, it did not try to update and it gave me the same error as before, client quit unexpectedly,
Tried again, did a launcher update then a physical update once i logged in of plus 1gb worth of data, same error.
Tried a 2nd time downloaded yet another gig plus of data also same error continues.
launcher continues to fail with client quit unexpectedly.

You'll just have to refine your dil when you get ingame, do your reps, endeavors and fleet projects too. They can't do anything about those. They shouldn't have to, IMO, those aren't as important as event completion. They're things you do every day anyway and don't have a time limit to complete. Your endeavors will simply turn over, not that bad.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.
We've deployed a fix that should start to help people log in, but it may take some time and it may not work for you right away.
Exactly what does this mean? My launcher updated but I still get the game quit unexpectedly error. It would seem the 2GB patch installed yesterday corrupted the game client as it's looking for .dll's that don't exist (steam-api64.dll and vivoxsdk.dll). I ran another force verify and 3.5GB of patching later no luck on launching.

I did the same as you, except 4.9GB later, no joy, same error
For me, the game was working fine an hour and a half/two hours ago, but my event daily was on cooldown. Checking back after the cooldown should have ended, i can no longer access the game.
I had a small patch, no luck.
Closed and reopened to another patch, longer this time, no luck.
Small patch, no go.
No patches but i still can't get into the game.
Now another minute or two long patch, which patched up to 101.8%, which is just weird.
And finally, more small patches but i still can't get in, along with the messages of "Error 2: File not found" or "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly"
I haven't been able to enter the game since yesterday after the last patch. Now it keeps downloading small or big patches every time I restart the launcher, but they have no practical effect: no access.
I just got back into STO after a year of not playing. Got a good two solid days back in and now this? Is this sort of thing common now, or did I just choose the wrong time to return? Last night it was crashing during map loads so often I gave up, and this morning, they'd somehow managed to break it worse, to the point where it won't load past the patch client.

It's not common. The last time there was a system-wide glitch like this was more than a year ago. They're working to fix it and will adjust the events accordingly so hopefully people can complete them.

Lengthy patch slowly loads, then I get the infamous game client fail error. Second try = same thing.
I'm not going to bother with the force verify. Giving up & will check the forums tomorrow.
I downloaded the patch on launcher , then patch the game , (witch keeps doing it over and over each time i close the launcher), and i have the same message ,can't go in the game....unable to start client.client left unexpectedly....:(
i give up for today hell with it.
Same as others; logged in > patched > same error > logged into launcher again > patched > same error > force verified > same patch redownloaded > same error.

Guess its time to re-watch today's episode of Star Trek Picard!
Oddly enough, My fleet mate (the only one left) is actually able to log in with no problem (Champions too)
Stoic Response : Well, these things happen.
Cry Baby Response: But I only get one day off a week, wah! Wah!
