Again I am out of game because of the same problem. This time for over a month.
Neverending loading screen from space to open space area of Sol Space Station.
So far my experience with it....since beta test, pre order time and now I have a, let´s say, 90 percent chance to get stuck in a neverending loading screen. Sometimes a short flickerung sign in the beginning for two seconds said "server not responding". Being forced to go to this area all the time for selling, upgrading, leveling and modifying, you can imagine, that I wasn´t able to even normal continuesly gameplay. Or do you know another pre order player with a Lieutnant Commander Level1/2? Hell, I even don´t know anymore, if it´s Level 1 or 2 over all this time...
My system worked fine with Champions Online and matched the specifications given by this game.
My numerous tickets were never answered.
No patch said "Solved the server bottleneck problems with heavily populated gameareas."
or
"Added a gameroutine, that brings you back to login screen after 5 minutes trying to login into an area."
Please tell me, that this game is just a big joke, so I can laugh?
A patient customer, that still wants to play in the Star Trek universe...

Hi Lycotos, several people have reported the never ending loading screen. There are some things you can check at a network level, but first have you tried lowering your world and character texture settings to at least 50% in Options - Video before loading your character?
What a joke,
A game should work "as is", and not reducing any of the features to get it working.
Imagine one day you buy a car and the vendor tells you... " please dont use the lights, they are not working very well "...:mad:
This isn't a PC problem. The server is not responding properly during zone transitions.
I've only been able to load into the game a few times. Any attempt to move to another zone ends up with a very slow moving load screen bar that never makes to all the way before a disconnect kicks in that sends me back to the login screen where a red lettered message something like this is displayed:
Timeout waiting for gameserver address.

Folks in the Captain's Table just don't leave anymore... at least they have food and an absence of interesting things to do to keep them occupied.
Same for me.. I've been trying to get into Starbase 24 for the away mission for quite a while now today. I choose my away team, loading screen appears, takes ages (the bar does move) then get the red timeout message.
character loading was 10mn, but I got in.
That said, I havent been able to change maps, though the two times I tried, I only waited 10-12mn before killing the game client and relogging.
One of the two times I got a "unable to find gameserver address" so I bet its a network issue or maybe a server NIC going bad
Giving up for now, hopefully someone at Cryptic is aware of it. IRC crew didnt seemt o think so, which makes me think I'll need to wait more than a few hours.
Started having this today as well. Tried getting into B'Tran cluster twice, same issue. I can always exit the game and get back in and load sector space. Just tried going to my bridge, same endless load screen. Seems like netops didn't fix the big issue from this morning. I wonder if some servers just aren't passing things off to others correctly as you change instances.
A very similar situation frequently arose during the early days of Open Beta, and was associated with heavy traffic. Could it be that Season One's release drew so many people back to STO, to try out the new stuff, that they have somehow exceeded their capacity?
I hope they do. It seems like whatever they're doing also affects everything else. I'm getting timeouts & never ending load screens just changing zones.
IMO, they should just take down the servers for maintenance again if it'll give everyone a smoother playing experience.
i got the same thing about 5times in a row in the past 30 minutes i feel like i'm just stuck in sector space cause i can't switch maps... i tried different maps but got the same responce... way NOT cool... i could care less if they didn't plan on this many people coming to try the new stuff... they should have planned for it... i've said this probably about 5times in the past 3days ... its "bad planning" on their part.... grrrrrr:mad::eek:

Getting this too while trying to zone from Beta Ursae to Sirius.

I had standart settings, nothing changed. That´s why I did not look at these...

Wheee! Rumors are fun!
