Somebody needs to tell GeforceNOW that the game is back up.......they still won't let me play, saying the game is offline. Tried reporting it to them myself but not sure it did any good.
Been Playing STO as much as I can for 11+ Years!

I noticed in game that I had a patch progress that was stuck at 1%. Was able to play normally until I switched captains. The screen where I can select my captains is just black, I exited the game and now when I try to get back in I get the cryptic launcher update on my top left on the screen. The launcher won't go up and either it says that I have an internet problem or a patching error.

These outages are very rare. This is just an unfortunate time where we have had several major ones in a week. Before that I have had no issues for a couple of years and I log in nearly every day.

That is not quiet true there has been some issues in the past few days but other then that the games has been down for either server maintenance or updates. What has happened in the past few days is happening for the first time like this since the game launched in 2010.
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.
Same here . I am starting to just wait it out instead of trying to log in over and over. You just end up frustrated and really angry at something you have no idea what is going on at the company. I keep the perspective that it isn't a walk in the park for the developers either. They have to fix the problem while most likely being nagged "it it fixed yet? Is it fixed yet?..." So at least with that image in my head I can reign my patience in.
On a somewhat separate topic, this reminds me of the Star Citizen fiasco where they launched a new patch but then no one could log on for a few days. Did something like that happen here?

I've passed today's issue up the chain, in case it happens again.

Reporting as of 11 am Pacific time, from Washington state, I was able to both log in and change characters. (Later I should pick out a new ship for Tovan Khev; he's achieved full mastery of the Compiler-class RRW Tovan Khev XXXI, and needs to move on.)

"Really had hopes"!? You're speaking like this is a new game; STO has been going 13 years! An outage like this happens extremely rarely, and I can count on one hand the outages that were as big or bigger than this.

The only time I can recall that was near this bad was during the Summer event at the time of the Iconian War arc. Iirc they did some server stuff too and something went very, very wrong. They had to pull the game down almost immediately after bringing it up after 12+ hour long maintenance. And the game was wonky for days afterwards with multiple emergency maintenances.
As I said that was during the Iconian War launch, so 2015. If there's been anything else comparable it's been in the last two and a half year I've been away. But yeah, stuff like this is rare. @jonnyrocket#1627 just unlucky timing, happens to all of us now and again.
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
I'm really scared for the wellfare of the game if so many core pieces of code are black-boxed from being made by people who don't work at Cryptic anymore and... how apparently EVERYONE kept their work absolutely secret.
It's awe inspiring that Cryptic has been able to keep the game working as well as they have, considering. And improving it, to boot!
Even if I get worried when issues like this happen.

Might be worth doing a fresh install. Not ideal I know. But better than sorry as they say. I did a fresh install to be safe.

Have you turned off On Demand Patching in the Options menu of the launcher, turned on Force Verify, let it patch, and tried again?
We'll pass it up the chain.

"Anyaway, we don't often see a sense of humor in Section 31."
Think its a wide spread issue again.
Same thing is happening to me right now after being to log in normally prior.
Yup, getting this again. Got the game to work last night but today it is borked again. Have not seen issues like this in a very long time.
Unable to establish connection to Patch Server. Please check your internet connection. If problems persist, please contact Technical Support.

Get past this and the game will be solid again.
