Is anyone else experiencing long loading screens? If you are has anyone figured away to improve their time I am at 3+ mins now trying to load into a mission.

    I got kicked from the server from a "server not responding" error and now I can't seem to log back in.

    I just get a "retrieving list of characters..." loading screen.

    I'm having some slow loading times as well. MOst have been fine, but just now I've been stuck on a loading screen for almost 5 minutes...still waiting..

    **UPDATE**: it logged me out and upon resubmitting login, I am now stuck on the retrieving characters message.

    Yes it seems to happen to me quite often. Sometimes my loading screen lasts for maybe like 5 seconds and I'm good.. At this very moment I am on a 10 minute loading screen. It's rediculous.

    And now it just kicked me out of the game and I logged back in only to sit at the famous Retrieving character list screen.

    I was in sector space when I lost the server connection and it went down for maintenance. I closed out STO client and just tried to come back in - login went fine and authenticated, but now it's just "Retrieving list of characters"...

    Forever...

    And server status on the customer service page is showing "Up"

    I have been finding every time i finish a mission the game freeszes on the loading screen. EVERY time. I just ctrl alt del out, wait 10 min then rejoin. i'm sure its a known glitch while they prepare for full game play for tuesday...

    1:45 AM EST, was 3/4 the way through a mission following an Udine / Undine through the monastery, taking on about 12 vulcans when I disconnect, tried to log back in and now I've been sitting at "Retrieving list of characters" since about 1:20. I'm sad, I was hoping to get to Lt. 7 tonight before I had to go to sleep. Looks like I'll actually get some rest, :(

    it's the same for me everything loads fine other then the sol system, i just tab out for about 10-20 mins then it says press any key to continue which is odd but it lets me in

    *EDIT*ok sometimes it lets me in no problem but just now i was kicked after pressing any key :S

    Likewise - the Sol system immediately after tutorial just won't load. Sits there for 15mins, then kicks me - when i load back up, it goes back to loading the Sol system again. Trying attempt six at the moment, but it looks like i might be stuck here for the time being... :(
