I logged in and got to the new screen and the game crashed. Now when I log back in it's stuck at retrieving list of characters.

    Ditto....stuck at the same screen.

    Getting alot of disconnects tonight....moreso than the last week of closed beta. I expected there to be some issues on the first day, but it seems the network/server issues Cryptic is having is worse than in closed beta. I'm sure in the next day or two they'll get it straightened out.

    /make it so

    Same for me.. except I never crashed.

    This is giving me bad flashbacks about Champions Online. I had this same problem repeatedly on that game...

    I guess I was hoping you guys would've been a little more prepared this time.

    You and every one els. Guys understand this is beta but FFS whats your backend server setup an 8086 processor running @ 8mhz. The loading times are totaly unacceptable and make the game unplayable!!! If you want this to succeed dont do what CPP did. Get your server infastructer right from day one and invest!!

    I have same issue now but I was in the game earlier. I pretty sure It has nothing to do with Windows Compatibility modes and everything to do with the servers being unable to handle the number of people trying to log in. They aren't setup to handle this many users.

    I'm sorry, but Cryptic should be WELL AWARE of this problem.

    I'm not willing to listen to any 'cut them some slack' this time around. These same problems happened with their last release, Champions Online, and it seems as though nothing's changed with their servers since then. I hope to God this isn't Champions Online masquerading in Star Trek attire.

    This was a problem in closed beta. It seems to me that the 1, something gigs of patch were just for show cuz theres been none of the critical bugs fixed yet.

    We tried telling them during closed beta that they aren't ready for open beta, nor launch on 2 Feb yet. But, business is business i guess.

    Another one stuck "Retrieving List of Characters". This of course happened after I attempted to beam down to the surface, and when I got there I was still in my ship floating over everyone.
