    Captains - we're back. Thank you so much for your incredible patience over the last few days. All Captains on PC will be receiving a package of an Experimental Ship Upgrade, Captain Upgrade, and Bridge Officer Upgrade as a thank you. We appreciate you.



    Sorry, forgot to say this will be live on PC on Wednesday.

    Nope, still not working. I am stuck on the Refractions loading screen, and it will not advance.

    Just reinstalled the game. Same thing. Gets stuck at the Refractions screen.

    Just got it working. Has to use safe mode.

    Now I can't get the game to work above 60Hz.

    So...how would one go about to obtain that pack?
    *Edit
    Nevermind, I just now caught the "it will be live on Wednesday" notice just now.

    Well done in the hard tasking of fixing the problem, and the patience of putting up with the complaints over the last 2 days.
    You should receive a commendation for your hard work and patience with the forumites @baddmoonrizin .

    We moan and complain, but in the end we are grateful that we can be back in the game that we love. Thank you staff for working though it. However, with that said... DON'T EVER BREAT IT LIKE THAT AGAIN!!! :D

    Me too. This is just not what I would expect from an established game.

    I launched the game in safe mode and windowed. Was able to get in and then set my graphics setting. So far working fine.

    It has been fixed for me today. Hooray! Thanks for the good Friday on Good Friday. Have a great weekend and sleep well, devs of both games that were affected.

    Up and running again.
    One Disconnect, one SNR and a brief issue of rubberbanding in Borg Red Alert but it's working.
    Don't do this again.
    NO to ARC

    Good morning! Sorry I'm late to the party, folks, but I was up late dealing with all of this as well. And a girl has gotta get her rest sometime. 🤷‍♀️ Yes, the devs are deploying a fix this morning via an alternate method to get this out faster, since last night's fix has been rolling out too slowly. For those looking for "official" word on things, there are posts and a discussion in General Discussion as well as GNN. As for calls of compensation, the Events are being extended due to this downtime. There has been no other word of anything else. We'll keep you informed as new information comes. We know that this is frustrating for many of you, but please, continue to be patient and civil. Thank you!

    Is it all active events that were affected by the outage that are being extended? (Voth Invictus, Red Alert, Jr Officer Recruitment)?

    So whatever problem you have been having still is not fixed. I can't stay connected for more than a few minutes before I get the server error and get kicked off. Really sucks when you start playing and at critical moments it lags, locks up and crashes. When I log back in, my character is usually dead, like the game kept playing even after I was kicked off.

    That would be a separate issue from the one that the playerbase had been experiencing for the past couple of days, so you would need to file a separate report.

    Nah you have gone above and beyond Badd. While Kael is most certainly Admiral. You clearly need Captain status
  • gordianknottgordianknott Member Posts: 2 New User
    Is there any action we need to take on our end, because I'm still crashing on start up usually during the Cryptic loading screen.

    Force verifying. Making sure on demand patching is off. Making sure your drivers are all up to date. Try that first. Try starting in safe mode. If all of the previously mentioned fails to get you back into game a fresh install may be required.
  • roninwolf1981#2968 roninwolf1981 Member Posts: 629 Arc User
    For any of the devs out there, I am deeply grateful for the lengths you went through for the trouble of getting us back into the game, and my sincerest apologies for my outbursts due to the despair of the situation.

    @ambassadorkael#6946 myself and several other people can not connect to server this morning due to what @cambera just posted
  • josephardoinjosephardoin Member Posts: 1 Arc User
    @ambassadorkael#6946 to repeat what others are posting for this morning (4/9/23). there seems to be a problem with getting onto the server.
  • m1k3d4m4g3m1k3d4m4g3 Member Posts: 9 Arc User
    Same as Cambera and others this morning.

    Worked fine since Friday's 120GB+ "let it ferment/simmer" fix, aside from needing a shuttle to enter Terran battle zone.

    Worked this morning until a character change was initiated and froze at 0% patching files upon leaving Starfleet Academy to return to character selection screen.
    If the situation is counter diplomatic, then we must follow with force.
  • aslapaslap Member Posts: 23 Arc User
    yep it looks like its very widespread even another post on bugs and a reddit, some saying they havnt been affected yet but for how long, and given its sunday and easter weakend will be lucky if anoyone can get in by monday evening.
