was hoping patch today would improve things, but no, still 3 min from pressing engage to char screen, thats with on demand patching disabled, 3 min load times is not bad, if i was still living in 2000
not a connection issue i have no lag what soever patching or playing, the game simple forgets its loading on that screen for various amounts of time, sometimes i can ctrl+alt+del and in manager swap back and it'll jump start it, other times that tricks ends up bugging it and it refuses to load til i close it and use patcher again.

Ah. You mean it's stuck on the word "patch" without progressing. If that's the case, I've been getting that the past couple of days, too.
The first loading bar with Cryptic and Atari logos comes and passes like you would expect, but when it shifts to the com-badge window with the word loading at bottom, it seems to forget what it was doing
I play in full window mode, sometimes, if I alt tab out while loading, it will stop complete and not recover, forcing me to ctrl-alt-del and shut it down and start again, it is just annoying having to plan in other things to do while launching a game
Run "tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com" at the command prompt.
It sounds like there is a connection issue either at your end, or somewhere in the middle between you and Cryptic's datacenter. Let me know!
I have the same issue.. I launch, go to the CDryptic screen and get locked up.. I've actuall let this screen load for 30 minutes and get no where.. I have to warm-boot to reset my PC.. When I run tthe trace, I get 11 lines of :
1 * * * Request timed out
and line 12 I got:
12 54ms 56ms 55ms 208.95.185.41
Game doesn not load since 7/27/11.. I've done all the ..delete Hoggs and verify, uninstalled the game; rebooted, disc clean-up, reload game, endure the massive patches, still no load.. I have opened 2 tickets but no response yet..
Been getting consistent delays on the Combadge Loading screen as well.
Tracert is fine - showing 25ms for the UK jumps, and 100ms for the US ones.
Switched to the EU proxy to no avail.
Is this a Europe only problem, or global?
Should note that everything else works fine. Patching. Gameplay. Zoning. Changing character. etc. etc. The only problem is on that single loading screen.
i have the delay on the combadge loading screen as well... i get stuck at it for around 2 - 3 mins....
I would say its a season 4 issue... never ever had this problem before season 4, as soon as i updated to season 4 i get the long load issue....
Im starting to get the feeling STO hates me... first the season 3 patch causes my CPU to go into meltdown whenever i play the game, season 4 gives me a long intro load time... I expect season 5 to just cause my game to fail with a message saying "i hate you meehee and refuse to work for you"

Personally I don't see it as a big problem. I just hit engage, check my email, come back, play.
