The last time I played STO was a couple days ago. I tried to log in today and got a 165 MB patch. I don't know if the patch has anything to do with it or not.

About 50% through the loading screen that shows the full screen black and white Cryptic logo and then the black and white Atari logo I get a crash error.

The crash report dialog comes up and I fill in that I was loading as the reason. I send that off to cryptic.

There is no information at all about what the error is. Just Ooops, your cryptic application has crashed.

Any ideas about what to do? I do not have a CD because I bought the download version and I would hate to have to re download all over again.

I too am getting this message and now i might not make it in time to complete the last Breen weekly episode on my TAC VA!!!!

What is going on?

Then this at top of box

What is going on, Ive restarted the game and restarted PC

Everything was going fine for me today until I started playing. Got halfway through the Taris/Iconia mission, then BOOM. "Fatal Error!"

Mine is: Fatal Error: error decompressing data. Verifying files in the launcher may fix issue.

Technical details: ./piggs/texture3/hogg:Texture_library/costumes/Avatars/Female/F_Head_Bare_01_D.Wtex: error decompressing data.

And that's all I get. Can't even log in an alt.

Deleted ALL my texture.hogg files too.

All people with that "error decompressing data" error need to delete the hogg file mentioned in the error (make sure you get the right one).

And what happens after that?

Getting a similar error only mine reads:

110710 16:24:52 2 InvalidType[1]: Error decompressing data. Verifying Files in the launcher may fix this issue.: bin/geobin/maps/system/empty.zone/world_cells_shared.info:

Launcher now hangs at patching stage. Opened the launcher console and I get this:

[C:/Users/Public/Games/Cryptic Studios/Star Trek Online.exe] [Debug] [x86]

It just hangs there for ages. Please help. Thanks

I would do a FORCE VERIFY this will force the client to verify each and every file for corruption problems. Then after that is done I would DISABLE Patch on and get all patches and BUG FIXES! I did this and have had no problems! YEs it may take sometime but it should bring everything up again!

Thanks for the reply.

Did both of those and it didnt work. Any other ideas?
