Server Time out and Disconnection

edited September 2012 in Windows and General: PC, Network, and Other Technical Issues
I'm getting this every time I go anywhere near a Star base, barring drazona. This is a little silly, now that a measly patch was applied it throws off the stability of even being able to stay in the game, being a Lifer I thought we were done with this issue after open Beta............ Come on guys, sometimes i can't even get out of the star base or sol system, qu'nos system or Ds9 system or base, without 5 or 6 long Server timeouts, some resulting in Disconnect, Also rubberbandiing during ST'fs as well as getting Disconnected. surely I can't be the only one having this issue!

    You guys are not alone. I too have been having problems since the last patch. I can only assume somewhere in the lines of code someone must have removed or tweaked something and it's messing with people's connections. Some of my fleet members are not experiencing this issue where others are.

    Well, here's to hoping that they release a fix soon. It's a little frustrating when you're trying participate in a STF, or Fleet Action.

    I'm experiencing difficulties. Where are you based in the world. It could be network issues. I'm in Scotland in the UK.

    indeed, same here heres to at least hoping its the microsoft's Big B008s code error or at least something humorous, so when we find out later we'll all have a chuckle over how irate we were swearing and threatening our computers very lives.......mine was very close to taking a swim earlier....

    Same for me. I noticed it properly about 24 hours ago, but it could be from the patch time onwards, I didn't get chance to play for long before yesterday.

    it started yesterday for me, and has continued, increased and intensified I'm going to try to disable the on demand patching, let it patch the WHOLE GAME, hoping that will let me speed throught the loading screens, where 45% i get DC'ed or Server not Responding....

    Just kidding , the patch just stalled out at 6.2 % but internet speed on speedtest.net is 14mbps download and 5 mpbs upload......

    Yeah, I've had this problem since last Wednesday night, right before the patch, and for EVERY... SINGLE... BLOODY... DAY... afterwards. I usually get dc'd during loading, and right now I've actually been waiting to get dc'd for the past 5 minutes on a loading screen. Sometimes I can't even log in. And this only just started last Wed. Dahell happened??

    Have to add my voice to this as well. I speedtest.net'd my connection and its actually higher than usual but since Friday night I've been getting serious lag and multiple disconnects.

    I've tried rebooting the router, PC, clearing memory, etc. but it still persists in varying degrees. At one point I was watching NPC ships move across sector space in "spurts".

    On Saturday night it got so bad I logged off, the rubber banding was making the game unplayable.

    A question, have the people that have been having the lag/DC issues loaded Raptr and run STO through it? Thats the only difference I can think of and wonder if its causing the issues?

    EDIT: Oh Cool !!! I've been promoted to Lieutenant on the Forums :) lol

    Last Patch...bad bad bad... I get "server not responding" on just about every zone at least 3 times while loading. Sol and anything with more than a few chunks of debris totally screwed. Space battles are REALLY bad. (have been blown to hell by Vishap....really?):mad: Want to pay subscription but not till these issues are resolved.

    definitely gotten worse over the last couple weeks. Worse it the drops from server after a looooooonnnnnnggggg server timeout. Was running the tour last night, just paid for a transwarp jump to borg space and the server times out (3 minutes to go in the event), and when I finally get back on it's 2 minutes after the event has ended MINUS my jump fee.

    Guess that makes us even Cryptic, crafted another AEGIS set Saturday morning during the 'time to craft' event, and the game didn't use ANY of my rare particles.

    Paybacks are a &*%#%, eh ?

    Lets start with a odd story last week I was trading some EC from one account to another while doing the transfer one account started doing the lag dance and the other was normal nothing was wrong...

    I already testing everything on my end with no faults, this lag seems to increases as stress on server increases I wonder if those with pay to play and lifetime accounts have this lag issues almost seems like free to play are being throw under the bus if lifetime are free of these lag effects

    P.s. just play a stf where I lagged hard had to log in 12 times until there was no lag on 12th time of logging in there some bad servers or something

    Chance that any devs/anyone who can do anything about this are reading this post? Of if they are, even caring? 0-none. If that.

    Same problem, I have quit playing until this is fixed. I live near Dallas, Tx, I used Raptr, hated it and deleted it. While game was laging, I was runnning 20mbs with 15ms ping (http://www.speedtest.net/ server in dallas). STO looked like a slide show.
    I stopped using Steam and my CPU usage is down 15% but I still had this problem.
    I loged on tonight (9-10-2012) and have had no problems. I flew from ESP to Fleet base without any problems. Im setting here to see if problems start coming up, but so far after 20 min all is good.
    Edit: Just went to from fleet base to ESD and was disconnected after server not responding.
    I am attempting to log back in. It loaded my Char list quickly but the server has been loading sector space for about 2 min now and I am only at 60%. This used to only take 3 to 8 sec.
    I will be back in a few days to see if this is fixed in the next patch.

    Having the same issue aswell, I've always had an issue with disconnects (timer warner and road runner dns servers) but I fixed that by changing my DNS servers and had no problem until today.

    I have also been experiencing connection issues since the patch on September 6. There are already multiple threads about this in the "PC & Technical Issues" subforum.

    For example:
