It appears as if this is more of a journal. Started game normally under safe mode with connectivity and it worked, though terribly slow. So I went on to remove all unneeded programs from start up (updaters, add-ons, whatever). Game now works as before the patch. Thing is that I am pretty certain that the patch itself was the reason for whatever conflict occured, as I have not changed anything in the PC during the update downtime and download. Just a heads up for those that could face the same issue
Of course, I hope that the solution persists for more than a login, currently too fed up to log out and retry. Will kill me some people first.

Just adding a symptom in the new re-installation I just finished...launcher doesn't play the sound when "play" button is ready to press. Not sure if that would help anyone propose something. Other than that, still no luck.

Yeah and seems as I search through the forum that this kind of things happen after every update to people. Not to everyone, but there are always cases.

I hoped I would be safe, but after patch I have not been able to play. The launcher starts, takes a while to get to the loading screen with a black screen in-between and a few seconds after that the mouse pointer appears with that time bottle (always forget the name) and, if I open the task manager, game appears as not responding.
The game played perfectly (even if a bit on the low graphics side) until a few minutes before the patch.
What it shows:

What I tried so far:
1. reboot pc and rooter
2.changed settings of internet
3. checked firewall ESET and removed protocol protection
4. repaired launcher by deleting bitraider folder and cache file
5. used launcher repair
6. checked server response via cmd
7. completely uninstalled and reinstalled ST launcher
8. deleted config ini
9. uninstalled and reinstalled using the non-streaming option
10. windowed and full screen
11. download dx9 files and installed properly
12. run in compatibility mode to force dx9
13. run even without administrator rights
14.rage quit and hit laptop with fist
Game still the same, starts launcher, goes to play, press play, wait for loading screen, little wheel turns, then stops after a couple of minutes and stays there forever. Task manager shows the two instances (300something MB of RAM and 600something MB of RAM). Small one is not responding, big one seems ok, none uses resources other than memory.
Running on a laptop with windows 10, 64bit OS, 4GB ram, onboard crappy gpu (but it shouldn't matter, as I was playing normally before the patch).
Now what is most annoying is...I have paid for the subscription and with my schedule I have little time anyway, better spent gaming than toying for hours with the game to make it work.
PS> Never noticed, but after I end task on the small RAM eating instance, the other one takes like 5 mins to close. Not sure what it means, just dropping it in.
Anything else to do? Any suggestions at all?

Between downloading and getting preferred status...it took me like 2 days of gaming. Between preferred and subscription...took me another 4-5 days. And then I subbed and all hell breaks loose. Maintenance, patch, two days trying to figure out how to repair the game that was broken by the patch, and as soon as I am back in, couple of hours later extra maintenance. And the next day a hotfix maintenance. Through the last two I am keeping fingers crossed for fear it will mess my login again. Really had agonizing two days fixing it after Tuesday.
But, anyway...this shows that -in a bit of disorganized manner- work is being done. Compared to my previous subscribed MMO (DDO), where there was one maintenance every other month, one patch every semester, bugs remained for months, exploits too...though at least they never got a misfire. What's best? Quick resolution or working resolution? Remains to be seen.
