Okay since it was deleted with the old post i ask again.

How do you install STO with either the Epic Games Laucher or Steam? In both it downloads the Launcher, but never manages to get it downloaded. It always starts with 120 Megabytes of download, goes down to 0 and then it repeats the process without ever breaking the loop.

In Steam, I install it and the launcher should install completely. Afterwards, I just make a shortcut to [Steam root folder]/steamapps/common/Star Trek Online/Star Trek Online.exe and click that every time I want to run it (as it doesn't need to open Steam).

On first run of the launcher the game should install the latest patch.

Well it doesnt or i wouldnt ask. The launcher never opens itself to the point where you can input your account data -.o.-

In that case, have you tried the Arc launcher? If you're against using Arc I believe you can also install the STO launcher then uninstall Arc without any ill effects.

If even that fails to work, could it be your firewall or antivirus blocking the launcher from fully installing?
