Giving STO Another Try

[Haggis and tatties]

Yes, you do not want to be on demand patching bits of the game every time to move to a new tfo or mission, just keep trying to patch the game on the launcher, and even if it fails, it will not lose anything it has already patched, just means every restart of the launcher, the size of the patch will get smaller until it is finished.

But i would look into the laptop to make sure it is not sitting with power saving on, which might be impacting the STO launcher, or possibly is there enough space on where STO is installed to patch it on your new laptop?

I've got the game up and running in the meantime and have been playing it since yesterday. Oddly enough, yesterday everything was fine but today I keep getting connection issues with the server, meaning mission don't load and I need to log in again. Then it's fine. It does patch a lot still right before missions.
I've checked my internet and all seems fine on my end. I don't recall these issues being this bad when I played STO 3 or 4 years ago.

Open the launcher and go to options, and make sure on demand patching is not ticked.

That should help with the server time outs?

^^Hopefully that should download the entire game to your laptop, so jumping from mission to mission or random tfo's will no longer require any more downloading of levels, just loading the levels from your SSD, which should be way quicker.............hopefuly, because 15 years later still a janky game. ha

Well I'm already playing the game so it should be fine. But I will give that a shot. Thanks!!

Holy crap! I just now noticed that there are new endeavors to acquire. Not sure when they added them, but we’re no longer limited to a 750 endeavor rank. I wonder if I can remember how to do these things…

They added these a few months ago, i was already maxed with the old one so i do them, but more really for the hope dil drops from the rewards, as i am working on my dil to zen for next Mudds bundle, or i may go for one of the legend bundles.

But these are a doddle compared to the doff system which i just recently started to get into, which i had ignored right up until a few months ago, then i saw that certain toons got some really good account wide rewards, more a ton of dil account wide, so i am trying to catch u on them.
