    At this point I am considering backing up my user files and just uninstalling STO. The launcher seems unstable and or corrupted to me after all the constant patches which is progressively getting worse (white or black screen on the launcher, hanging etc.). I'll reinstall again when there's a stable release.

    I uninstalled mine yesterday, and trying to reinstall it last night took forever, and the error still occurred. But now it is like everyone else, patching through repeated cycles of ###.8 patch, while the tribble server has ###.10 patch.

    Can we use the tribble server patch to make the Holodeck server work?

    EDIT: Just speaking from experience, I wouldn't recommend uninstalling, you may get a lucky roll and get into the game to at least do solo content for a while.

    I tried the Tribble build and was able to get the client to launch. Saved the DLLs and copied just the "missing" DLLs into the Holodeck build. Client immediately crashed, so no luck there.

    thats new, the game started up took a really long time at the first cryptic screen (like 3 mins) then moved to the next screen and i waited 6 mins, ended up having to Cntrl Alt Del out and now back to patch hell...

    seriously guys, this half TRIBBLE patch is just bad.

    I finally managed to login after several upon several patches night and day. I have yet to try anything significant. InvalidEntityName is back for everyone at Earth Space Dock.

    I thought I'd managed to avoid this problem as I've been logging in just fine since it surfaced 3 days ago, but...

    Got to the point where it went to the loading screen and crashed. Maybe I'm close.

    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 problem, game crashed when trying to go to ship bridge after it failed to load a patch. I turned on demand patching off and now the client crashes on start after it tried to patch 2+ GB. Just did a force verify and it patched 5.5 GB and crashes on start.

    Same problem game don't work after patching on 23/04/07 at 17:07 french time

    This is insane, day 2 of not being able to log in. We have three lifetime membership accounts in my home and no one can log in. We are now behind in our endeavors, campaign dil and converting dil. I know it's been well over a year since we missed a single day of gaming, between chasing rewards, endeavors and character development. Even if they increase the campaign length damage is done in the other daily tasks and timers items such as dil and reputation that we won't get back.

    Game has patched itself 6 times in the past 50ish minutes - on one occasion, I swear it took in half the goddamn internet!!! :wink:

    Tribble build lets me launch the game but it crashes at/after the "Cryptic" splash screen. My most recent incident/crash ID is 51dbc5.

    Holodeck gives me the error "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly" after downloading about a 2 GB patch. It downloads the 2 GB patch *Every* time I run the launcher.

    So... still down. :(

    I understand the frustration, but if this game is the only thing you wake up for in life, it's time to find a second thing to wake up for.

    I'm having the same issue but I also noticed something disturbing about the bonus weekend image. Can someone please explain this to me?

    Aye, agreed! However, this happened once before that I recall, and they DIDN'T extend the event(s). So, the Voth event was ruined for some, now that's ended, and this 5-day Red Alert event - even though the gains are a wee bit on the "not much" side - are gan to be thrown off or sunk as well.

    I don't understand my side - I had been playing without issue at all until last evening (6 April), logged off to play some fetch with my pup, then started having this happen about 30 min. later when I went to log back in.

    Maybe it's the Universe telling me: "play with your dog more; game much less; especially STO."



    UPDATE: 7 April, 5:20 p.m. GMT -

    New and IMPROVED issue:
