    Same here from Bonnie Scotland (and yes, it's raining, why do you ask?) - traceroute is fine until it reaches Boston, then it sinks faster than a crate of tea in a tax dispute.

    I am also having an issue with my launcher not being able to connect to the patch sever. I use Verizon DSL, with the fastest DSL they offer in my area. What is odd, is that everything was fine last night, I was able to login with no issues. Maybe just a weird quirk of seeing a que screen, stating that I was 1 of 1 in line to sign on. But that went away and I was able to sign on fairly quickly.

    Here is my Tracert:

    I guess for the most part none of them meet the minimum for column 2. And the bolded lines are what didn't meet all three columns.

    Generally though, I tend not to have issues online with STO. The only rare instances where I may have an issue with rubberbanding or disconnects is when I really hammer my internet connection with high bandwidth stuff while playing STO. Generally I tend to play STO while watching netflix in HD, which I do not have many issues doing.

    I figure this is an issue with cryptic since none of my other games are having issues at the moment.

    I like the DNS/updated route explanation. It seems to fit the facts as we know them, including the different traces from mobile connections vs broadband connections...

    If they could push the working route out to the hops that are hanging...?

    Those that are saying the problem is in Boston are ignoring the TraceRTs that fail despite not being routed through MA. They're also ignoring the successful 3G network tracert through Boston. If the problems were out of house these inconsistencies wouldn't exist.

    Plymouth UK. Updater timing out.

    Pretty much the same issues as everyone else.

    P.S My internet connection is fine and my computer is more than adequate for this game.

    Looks like mine fails at the same hop everybody else's does.

    I also can't access the main website.

    I have two other PWE games.

    One is logged on right now and as stable as a rock.

    Also, as you can see, I can log on here and post.

    Everything I've seen on here points to a problem with the patch server, though why some can get on and not others is a mystery.

    All the trace logs seem to point at Cogent. Maybe that's where the problem is.

    I also have the same issue that everyone seems to be showing. Canada here, if that helps.

    I have noticed though that www.startrekonline.com does not seem to load either.

    I think the Iranians were trying to hit Israel with a Computer Virus and it was deflected to Boston. :eek:

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :P

    Ok guys. i just checked Champions as well. Get the same problem so it is clearly a server issue there end from most EU countries and perhaps others which are using the EU proxy??

    So, it looks like those that can tether to a mobile ISP can patch, start the game, get to the character screen, then disconnect and launch from the actual .exe file, if I am keeping up on all the posts correctly. So patching is the issue.

    So it seems possible a route hasn't been pushed to the regular ISPs that has been sucessfully pushed to the mobile ISPs for getting to the patcher. Again, a rough guess.
