Timed Out VS Server Full message

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Is there a reason why some people get the "Timed Out" messages while others get the "Server Busy" or "Server Full" messages? I have only so far seen time outs and wonder if there is a way for me to extend the time-out or shorten it to increase my chances of logging in. What causes the different messages exactly? :confused:

    Server busy or Server full is when you get passed the login server and there just so happens to be too many people online at that time.

    Getting timed out is when God hates you enough to make your life hard but doesn’t want to get rid of you. Reality is timed out is when people cant connect to the login server and these people are just really spinning their wheels.


    As for shortening the time, I don’t know never gotten passed the 'login server timed out'
    Sorry.

    Kay, that wasn't quite as technical an answer as I was expecting. I'm sure God loves me and would offer me tech support if it weren't for the fact that if He starts talking to me then Satan has no more reason to pretend super natural stuff is not real so he'd start going nuts and attacking me out-right. Then I'd be screwed!

    What were we talking about again? Oh yes, timing out and what causes that exactly.

    Sorry for the sarcasm, Ive just been dealing with this problem since the 13th (when I started playing)
    I have tried everything to solve the 'timed out' problem but alas I have failed. Check/change your proxy, or try a forced verify, that seems to work for some people.

    Were you able to log on before the 13th? Never having logged in I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for.

    I've been getting the same message, and I can't use the launcher now. I figured it was just the timed out thing till my brother just got on easy (Well the launcher I was thinking it was something messed up in my files).

    I did get the busy server message earlier, before my Launcher broke, and that broke after I upgraded my boot camp.

    No, I got into the open beta and started downloading the client on the 11th and it didnt finish till late on the 12th so I waited till the 13th to install and try it out; well the first time I didnt know what was happening and just thought it was too many people once the 14th rolled around and I kept getting the same error message so I wrote an issue tag for help and started looking on the forum for help and nothing. I tried a bunch of different thing to fix the problem, none of them worked. :(
    I was going to try uninstalling and reinstalling STO. Well after uninstalling the client the install program was gone and it took two days to download the client the first time and I just decided to give up and move on with my life.
