I need some major help.
I patched to S4 today and logged into the game. Noticed a ton of issues with the graphics and the game running bad.
-Namely loading went from under 10secs loading to 1+minute to do anything.
-Sector Space is incredibly dark, background starscape is really low res and has colour issues, also the "grid" appears really faint and looks wrong.
-In orbit space the backgrounds appear as if they are 256colour and low res, game looks blurry.
-Tried changing graphical settings but nothing seemed to change at all except resolution.
-Alt-Tabbing or Minimizing works, then 10secs later the game re-maximizes for some reason.
Decided to restart the game and apply the full patch by taking off "on demand patching"... let the game fully patch and now when i try to run the game, I get the first CRYPTIC/ATARI load screen, then I get to the new Comm Badge loading screen (before the chr select) and the game never loads past that. CTRL-ALT-DEL shows that GameClient.exe is only using like 30mb, so clearly its not starting properly.
Reinstalling the game, but was wondering if anyone had any idea what could cause this (incase reinstall doesnt work) or any related issues to this.

Error:
"Tried to update the launcher, please be patient"
you would think a problem like cant engage would have come up sooner but i guess not
bad enough i was over charged for this subscription now i cant even play
Bottom line is i STILL can't get anywhere. Maybe a patch is in order and a post by devs saying its being worked on. This has been 2 full days now with not a peep from anyone.
On top of that, lag is incredible. Entering a new area, I have to wait a good minute before i can move. If i move before that the game literally shoves me right back to the warp in point after letting me fly for a few seconds. Once it clears up i can proceed as normal, but still get occasional stuck in space lag...
Loading into Earth Space Dock takes forever and your toon doesnt appear on the transporter for over a minute. Game is making progress, but still unplayabkle... wish there was an option to keep graphical stuff the way it was pre-patch.
What is the issue with this update? Did you guys really fubar this or what? I am kind of ****ed I cannot get in game, please advise your community on this and what you are doing to fix your FUBAR. Thank you.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Loading time across the board went from like 10 sec to like 1+ mins.
Loading times are horror.
and server dc from time to time.
and my favorite new UI fonts that makes game slowdown in clusters if you have few players in same zone
