Loading launcher problems

[lukeaxten]

What do you do if you click on the game and it shows you the icon in the taskbar, but the launcher wont display on the screen. I have a windows 8 computer which is very fast don't want to go in to detail but its a hp laptop. It worked before the latest patch came out.

If you open the game then go to task manger and then right click on the game and click maximise then that will bring the game up!

It did that to me once I left it over night to do it but then i tried doing the pach again and again untill it was done. With my one it did a little more each time and if that does not work right click on the game launcher and load as an adminstrator! If after all that tell me and I will look for a solution!

The launcher is making an Internet Explorer popup that says 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error'. Maybe too many people are trying to log in to get the free stuff.

This is a very strange malfuntion. I can't offer you much advise, but I have has issues in which while the game was running, I minimised it, and even though I knew it was runninf, ir would not be in my task bar. What I do in this case (and what you may be able to do to solve the problem you seem to be having) is that I click the icon on my desktop as I would if it wasn't running. Steam then will then open up a small window saying that the program is already running as I already knew. After that, the preogram will be there and I can open it without further trouble.

I am unsure if this will help you in your troubles, but I hope it atleast helps you get closer to a solution

I just got this in the mail..... It worked!

1. Start STO
2. start Task manager
3. Applications tab
4. Right click on Star trek online and press Minimize
5. Right click again and press Maximize
(Now launcher is there but Maximized over everything)
6. Escape to close launcher
7. Start STO and there is your launcher again, visible and in normal size.
