    This thread was the only acknowledgement of the problem I could find from other users.

    I'm also getting:

    Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out

    Thanks for posting the twitter response for confirmation.

    MAJOR BUMMER if this keeps me from finishing CCE projects.... :mad:

    Central Germany here, same problem. Though I can log in through the launcher, as soon as I get to the retrieve characters screen, it snags and returns me to the login screen.

    :(

    3- And if you survive the first two laws it’s time to panic.

    Im experiencing similar things here in the Netherlands. I use ARC to start the STO launcher, then it patched, after patching the game client starts, I get passed the login screen, then it holds at "Retrieving Character List"and i get a Login2_Timeout.

    I restarted the client and arc, but no avail.

    Back when I was in school for computers we learned about something called a "cluster" not to be confused with a cluster f**k. This is 2 or more servers that perform the same function so that when one goes down or is overloaded the others pick up the slack. Seems if you rely on the servers to keep your business running you should have this kind of fault tolerance installed. Although it also seems to me that you would also have quality control (QC) which cryptic clearly also does not have. Oh wait and tech support which they also do not have. hmmmmmm


    these crashes and unreliability is why I love the world of Linux
