I'm also having the "Login failed for an unknown reason" error.
I can login through the launcher just fine, the client launches just fine, and it goes through the login process to "Retrieving list of characters" before it hangs for roughly a minute before returning the unknown reason error message and kicks me back to the login screen. I can re-enter my password there without crashing, but the same thing happens every time: "Login failed for an unknown reason."
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show. I should really just relax."
It doesn't happen on this scale with other MMO's. They prepare and deal with launches much better than this, I've never had these kind of issues with Blizzard. There have been server fails for the past month with this game, but of course people like you would rather resort to name calling over the internet instead of telling PW to upgrade their servers.
Nope, you're lying. I've been in every single WoW's expansion release days, and every single one had slow logins, dropped connections, queues, and the like.
Haters gonna hate. This happens in every game I play after a major expansion/DLC. OP is just looking for an excuse to rage.
I haven't played a game in the past few years that a new patch or expansion completely made the game unplayable for the grand majority(if not all) players.
Hmm.. Randomly booted, then every time I get to the retrieving character list section it times out and says I can't log in for unknown reasons. I'm assuming it's because so many others are doing the same thing and the server can't handle it. The bright side being that with so many other people having the same problem, it's probably not my pc.
We are investigating an issue where some Gold Members may not have received their additional character slot -- details here.
UPDATE! We are also investigating reports of slow patching and are working on a resolution. For a better patch experience, please restart your launcher. It will pick up where it left off and should be faster to complete.

It would be nice to see you in game but we can't for unknown reasons
I've seen a lot of posts already, and it is just now after 6:15 EST. Just about the time a lot of folks are getting home ready to play LoR. This thread is about to get very very long unless they pull the server for some emergency maintenance and fix whatever is wrong. Either way, a lot of folks are getting angry. We accepted and even expected some day one problems with this massive release, but an "Unknown Reason" is a really bad reason not to be able to play.
I was lucky enough to play some of the beta. We have good things in-store for us. Fingers crossed!!
Yea, I would at least like to know what's actually wrong and maybe an ETIC too.
what would probably fix the playing problem is ......hmmmm give sto its own dang server instead of multiple games on it. but that costs money..fore shame on me for asking them to spend money we give them for cryptic points on the game
The attempt worked I was one for about 15 minutes then switched characters then the boot. Tried to log back in but for unknown reason I couldn t. Looks like I'll be watching the Big Bang Theory season 3 tonight.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Check out "Welcome to the 77th" in the foundry!!!!
Just finished patching, it opens to the log in screen, i log in, and then it stops at "Retrieving list of characters" for a few moments then goes to "Log in failed for unknown reason" Help?
Seriously? Did ANYONE test the version that would actually be going live?
There must have been some change made between Tribble and Live that no-one thought to even check given that it seems now no-one can even log in!
Instead we're stuck on the main menu screen!
To find bugs buried in the game content is one thing.
To find that you're unable to even get into the game is something else!
Congratulations guys on another absolutely jaw-droppingly and awe-inspiringly brilliant patch.

Good try though.
Hasn't hit page 50 on this thread yet. :P

First hours of a new major update, on the first day of it's release. No matter the game, there will always be bugs and issues. Patience.
+1 to reporting that there is an issue.
Unlike them WE can turn you off......
FIX IT!!!!!!!

Now be fair, there was no way they could've known this. Seven seasons, sixteen Feature Episodes, all never happened, cause STO's not canon.
As far as I am concerend we still in season 7 beta.
Maco/omega/hg sets remain 100% blocked and don't forget teh flamethrower
But yeah f2p, you get what you give
Yes, they would break my fall.
Both, that is the planet Bob. If you look real close you can see the moon Timmy
At least im not the only one experiencing this.
They are very fast at moving and deleting threads.
Shows where all the ressources are allocated...
Login failed for some unknown reason

Oh well back to Grim Dawn.
Check out "Welcome to the 77th" in the foundry!!!!
What does God need with a starship?
