stuck with cryptic launcher autoupdate trying to connect 2 times
and then showing
'unable to establish connection to patch server'

and yet my internet connection works fine

...maybe you should reinstall Windows 7

iv just done this patch update iv bee having the same problem u have to extrac it with winzip 17.0 and extrac it in a new folder

the problem is with both the game and the internet.
there is a rouge ip block on the server thet is causing this prob.
it blocks the ip address and area of the game. wait for the next patch, your area will hopefully be allowed access.
Hope it helps.

..........* sigh *... I've tried 14 times every time it's the same, 2 trys patching then an error message.

Can anyone help me, PLEASE! ,I took a break form sto for a couple of months but now im hooked again.

If anyone can halp I would much apprecratie it.

I had this problem twice now.

The first time it lasted about a day and then just took care of itself. I had tried several things like removing power from the router, turning off protection software and firewall, etc. I had finally given up and gone to bed. The next day it was working again, so I just assumed that it had been a problem on the other end of the connection.

Yesterday it happened again. I tried many of the same things, gave up and went to bed, but this time I still couldn't connect when I woke up. In the USA a lot of people with cable modem rent their routers. I rent mine from my provider. The set up in my home has two routers, actually. One is wireless and one is direct cable. I usually have my gaming PC hooked to the direct router. Out of desperation I switched it to the wireless router.

That seems to have worked. I can now log in to the game. This whole problem might be a router issue. I use Charter Cable, the router that stopped working for this game (but would still work for the rest of the internet) was a Touchstone Telephony Modem, and the wireless router that now lets me connect to the launcher is made by Ubee.

I hope that helps somebody else troubleshoot their issue.

Please download the launcher here and let me know if it solved the issue you are experiencing: http://files.startrekonline.com/laun...k%20Online.exe

Same, clearly a routing issue between Cogentco and whomever hosts the STO network.
