A reason according to many on the STO tech forums could be running XFire. So if you're running it, disable it.

I also disabled the on-demand downloading for now, in order to get all updates immediately instead of running into them when needed, causing close to 3GB needing to be patched.

This may be another reason for lag etc.

At least my client froze the whole system, so had to do a hard reboot. Next try still froze system for a few seconds (first freeze was quite a long one, hence reboot). Disabled xfire and on-demand DL and now patching, see if it helps....

I did not reinstall xfire on my new PC, but I will keep raptr to log into the xfire account. I will let you know in case that is causing issues .. so far so good.

I could play just fine on Test Center, but with S4 live I can not log in (crash).
I would probably be frantic looking for an issue on my new PC, but luckily I logged in just before S4 hit with my new installed PC .. so thats not it.

so no xfire installed but still crashes?

is the on-demand downloading active or inactive?

tried both.

I also updated all drivers and changed the Videocard.
Still the same issue.

The one thing that does look promesing though it that at least the Test Center login now works

Anyway, on Merlyns Computer the patch issue happens, meaning she can not even download S4.

Tribble laods again by now, so hopefully I can log into live server some time soon. I will be gone for the next few days anyway, so hopefully next monday STO is an option again.

Guess Atari has stopped supporting already, since I never got a reply. But I eventually figured out the issue myself.
Basically there must have been an issue during patching that the detailed scan did not detect. Once I fixed the patch issue on Merlyns computer I copied her game files over to my PC, did a full scan (it downloaded one more file) and it was working again.

Well, in any case, we will be gone till sunday.
