http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=373291 try this...i wasnt holding out any hope of it working but im patching right now!! got to be worth a try. i also changed my IP address too
i started getting the same problem at 4:30ish(UK time) this morning, the game was running as well as it normally does, i logged out and got the 'cryptic launcher autoupdate trying to update' message when i tried to log back in. ive tried everything i could find to fix this but to no avail:(
