I really hope the load times aren't one of the new features they're touting. I waited over 5 minutes to exit a sector after completing a mission. They seemed to have muched up the targeting again too. It was so easy to target a ship before the latest patch. They're not supposed to break things this close to launch.
Before that I was zoning from an instance to system space and it stopped loading and stayed on loading screen. It's not crashing or freezing, I can't terminate easily from task manager and animations still run or tid-bit info ticker on load screen refreshes etc.
Ten minute loads in between deep space and sector space. >sigh> it seems when one thing is fixed another has an issue. Yes, i know it's OB but it's very close to the end of OB.

To boldly load where no man has loaded before. I have never been an 'I hate instancing' guy, but the way Cryptic abuses instancing with terrible transitions and far, far too many of them not to mention them being incredibly small (handful of people per instance) it really is sickening. A game about space is more like a lack of space with little to no real persistent world, just a bunch of disconnected maps and zones. On top of of that, their server farm is so terrible the loads are frigging slow as hell, it is like salt in the wound.

Kill the game
Re-run the launcher, select OPTIONS | Safe Mode
then when you login you are given the option to run at lower settings. Do so and you can now get into the game
Once in the game, you have to fix your graphics settings. Don't set them to max, keep stuff below 75%
Force File Check
Safe Mode
It worked after the full check.
