# Is Star Trek Online down?

The HTML page independently checks the main PC/Holodeck services players need to open the launcher, download patches and log in. Player-reported outages are kept separate.

## Star Trek Online server status right now

The live HTML page checks:

- **Patch server:** `patchserver.crypticstudios.com:7255` — Arc Games Support names `patchserver.crypticstudios.com` as the network-test target for Star Trek Online, and STO launcher logs show the launcher connecting to it on TCP 7255. Current known front-door addresses include `208.95.184.25` and `208.95.184.200`.
- **Patch downloads:** `level3.stohttppatch.crypticstudios.com:80` — STO launcher logs show HTTP patching through this service. The launcher-observed download path is CDN-managed; current Cryptic STO patch-origin addresses include `208.95.184.213` and `208.95.185.32`.
- **Account / login:** `accounts.crypticstudios.com:7004` — current Cryptic DNS maps the account service to `208.95.184.162`; packet-level STO troubleshooting evidence shows the account service on TCP 7004.
- **Connection routing:** `controllertracker*.crypticstudios.com` — supporting DNS check only. Current Cryptic routing names resolve across `208.95.186.113` and `208.95.186.141`; the controller service port is not publicly verified here, so the page does not invent a TCP check.
- **Steam activity:** Valve's official Steam-only current-player count is shown as supporting context. It does not decide the status result.

**Scope:** direct service checks focus on Cryptic's PC/Holodeck patch and login path. PlayStation, Xbox, regional routing and individual map instances can differ.

## What does the Star Trek Online status checker test?

For players, the important question is whether STO can patch and log in. The checker therefore follows the patch, game-file download and account/login services rather than pretending one permanent “game server IP” represents all of Holodeck. Current IPs are technical context; live checks use the service names so DNS changes do not make the page stale.

The live result is deliberately conservative:

- Patch server + patch download + account/login responding → **ONLINE**
- One of those three core checks failing → **ISSUES DETECTED**
- Two or more core checks failing → **OFFLINE**
- Connection-routing DNS and Steam activity → supporting signals only
- PTF status checker itself failing → **CHECK UNAVAILABLE**, never a false offline result

## Why can't I connect to STO if this page says online?

A green result means the main patch and login services we can test are answering. It cannot guarantee every player, route, platform or individual game map is healthy. Possible causes include ISP or regional-routing trouble, a platform-specific outage, or an issue with one game/map server.

## Where else can I check Star Trek Online outages?

- [Arc Games Support — Server Address Information](https://support.arcgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017784333-Server-Address-Information): official Cryptic network-test target.
- [STOStatus](https://www.stostatus.com/): independent monitor reporting separate STO login, game, controller and account-service checks.
- [Downdetector UK](https://downdetector.co.uk/status/star-trek-online/): player-reported login, gameplay, latency and server-connection problems.

**Status rule:** OFFLINE means two or more core PC/Holodeck checks failed from this independent checker. It is not an official Arc Games status declaration, and console or regional conditions can differ.
