i got stuck waitign 10+ minuts at a 'map change' screen.... finaly alt-tabbed out and end-tasked STO.. now trying to log back in again.. im at the same screen you two have.. =(
this sucks... First time i got hung up at a map-changing screen, it took like 2 minuts... went to 3 other places with no trouble... got into a map-change hangup for 10 minuts, finaly gave up reading the same messages over and over again so i killed STO.. come back.. and now im stuck at the "Retrieving List of Characters".. games minimized now for 15 minuts and still showing it =T
Same here, got stuck on a map and had to log out to get unstuck ( for some reason no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't get back to Sector Space) and now I'm stuck as well
I was getting the same thing. I left it on that screen for about 10 minutes or so and it finally gave me the list. Don't know if it is fixed or what, but mine loaded after time, I'm in game now.
yes, i to left it minimised for about 10mins and i've just gone back to it and can login.
i get the impression cryptic had NO IDEA how popular this game was going to be! and its got nothing to do with what they've created. it boils down to 2 words....
Hi!
I have been waiting for about 25minutes and retieving list o characters minimalized!
After that character list opened and can play!
Good luck to all!
...and have fun!
I have been trying to log on for the past 1 hour. I am constantly stuck at 'Retreiving Character List'. I will try again but I am not holding my breath.
Since Season 1 release this problem has been happening for me, randomly.... it will work fine for a long while and then just randomly hangs at "retrieving list of characters" when relogging or coming back from d/c
I'm having the same issue. Last night this happened, but it went through after about 10-15 minutes. (Not sure if that's the case today?) Keep in mind that there are a million people trying to play this game, and they just released a major update. I would expect things to be patchy (pun intended?) for the next couple days. I would think the same would happen with the next season update as well.
OK still going, LOL!!!!!!!!! Hey guys if you need to take it down for a day, please do so. Because stuff like this will kill the rep of the game and I don't want that to happen.

Same here
I had just joined a fleet action mission to defend the Star Base and just as the mission countdown ended and the mission was beginning I crashed.
I had to end process to close the game as it was frozen.
Logged back in and it went through a long file check.
Load screen came up, but now I am getting stuck in the retrieving charactors screen before it gives me the menue to select my charactor.

I've had this problem today as well, but not a permanent lockout
stuck forever at retrieving list of characters, plus constant server disconnects.
Time to start breaking the game into multiple different universes.
Took a break from the game hoping most of the bugs would be taken out ... now I can't even log in. Amazing
