I've just spent the best part of an hour trying to log on to STO. About 50% of that was trying to connect controller tracker (or something to that effect) in the Cryptic launcher.
When I eventually did get on, after a long time and a proxy switch, it took about 20 mins to load the list of maps including getting a time out error twice. Even then, when I loaded into sector space, I did not appear as oinline in my fleet roster, though I could access the fleet menu. However I could not post anything in the chat and I could not move anywhere until after a few minutes when everything happenes at once and I suddenly zoom to the other side of the sector where I cannot select the 'not now' option when my BOff is asking if i want to warp to the (insert sector name) sector (I can click on not now, and it beeps, but nothing happens).
All the while, I am zooming back and forth all over various parts of the sector, in a highly erratic fashion, and still unable to post in the chat. Mercifully I was eventually able to access the 'Exit' option, because I was pretty close to taking drastic action against my computer.
Humbly requesting an explanation/solution/help.
EDIT: the problem seems to have rectified itself, and after a lengthy delay I seem to be enjoying play as normal (if a little stuttery). Mods please feel free to close/delete as appropriate.:cool:
I have had similar problems. I have a terrabyte hard drive, a 512Mb graphics card and 4 Gb RAM. Most of the time its fine, but I get loooong delays, both at the tracking controller screen, and loading into the missions themselves. I get very annoyed when I spend ages waiting for my char to move only to get an Oops message, and spend the next 30 mins waiting for it to 'verify the patch', grrrrr!
I'm getting something similar too. I get to 'retrieving maps' and then it just hangs and eventually times me out. Never had any problem like this before.
Have managed to get in-game eventually but then can't move at all in space. Then geting 'server not responding' message. Now stuck at 'retrieving maps' again.
No other problems with my internet connection or logging in to other games.
I'm in the UK too , don't know if that is relevant
