    On a whim I launched STO again. It tried to update the launcher (again) but gave me a "A file was locked that could not be opened for writing error". Did a reboot and now launcher patched but game still wouldn't launch after it patched 3.5G (again). In fact several attempts to launch the game resulted in a 3.5GB patch to no avail.

    I tried to force verify the files and that didn't work either.
    So, I just push the buttons and things blow up? Fascinating...

    Ok, so I just started STO again for like the 3rd or 4th time today and the Launcher was unexpectedly patching. After it was done I hit Engage and a window pops up Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly

    Anybody else having the issue? Running the game through Steam atm.

    Same here. Game patches, then says "Unable to start game client: client quit." Then, to add insult to injury, when I restart the launcher, it just starts to redownload and reinstall the entire patch. Brilliant!

    If there are any updates any of us mods hear we'll pass it on.

    I just tried logging in a few times and it's downloading a large patch with each attempt. Part way through the first two patch downloads I was getting a "file not found" error (around the 25% mark). It continues to patch to 100% then gives the same "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly" message. After my third attempt, the patch went through without the "file not found" error (this made me a little hopeful), but unfortunately it still fails to launch.

    Just finished the patch but no luck, same error keeps me from starting the game... time to do something else with my off-fay, but I was so hoping to play today.

    I think there is more than one patch. Every time I try to log on, it patches a different size patch. The first was about 4000MB, the next ones were about half that. I 'm on my 5th or 6th patch right now and it appears to be big, at 8% I'm already over 1000MB.

    I don't think these are actual cumulative patches. Looks more like the launcher is randomly redownloading large parts of the game. When you "force verify" it always finds missing files.

    I'm sure they've had to sleep for a while now and come back in the morning to work on this, I've already called it a day by now myself, I've just been checking here periodically to see the news, I won't touch the launcher until I hear something I don't want to risk corrupting my install worse than it is, I have sub 1MB per sec speed internet :P.

    13 hours ago, was able to log in. But 90% of all player ships had the name InvalidEntityName now I get the same error as everyone else.

    I wonder if those 2 bugs are somehow related as I had that "InvalidEntityName" bug and now I'm stuck unable to log, that said I still ask for patience we gain nothing by threats or rage.

    EDIT:I wonder if the issue is located in the account server as last thing I saw before the error was "connecting to account server".
  • realdarklordrealdarklord Member Posts: 101 Arc User
    Maybe you're up to something.
    I've also noticed an increasingly large number of "InvalidEntityName"-ships before the game broke down.

    Not sure, but apparently its more widespread. Neverwinter and Champions seem to be affected to from what I heard.

    It is 4/7/2023 3.38am Eastern Time. Still no access to the game, Launcher seems to download random patches every time I open in various sizes. The patch its downloading right now is over 8gb.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.
