hello im playing currently my first mission: the tutorial....
but i cant even play a bit cause there are very huuughe lags. 90 % of the game time the game tells me that it cant connect... i have sometimes 3 minute lags, cant even play for 1 minute until next lag comes.
is this my pcs fault (what really cant be, i have a perfect internet connection) or is that the server that freaks out?
hope someone can help me. perhaps its also only today there connection problems?

    Some more info would be nice:

    System specs
    Type/Model of Video card(s)
    Drivers up to date Y/N?
    Windows or Mac running windows?

    If you know your connection is not the problem, check your video drivers as they are the most likely culprit. You may not have an approved video card that is still able to run the game, causing graphical lag.

    WoW, by design, runs on lower end machines to appeal to a larger audience. STO has much higher system requirements.

    I was having extreme lags on loading screens too. It is much like it was right after release.

    My guess is that the most recent patch was lacking some loading optimization that has been working previously.

    I agree it's unplayable :cool: Every time I go to a new area it loses the server and I have to restart and if I'm lucky it will retrieve my characters and I can play again until next transition :( Gonna give up for the day hopefully better tomorrow!

    So far I wouldn't call it unplayable, but it does lag from time to time where it never did before. Especially during intense PvP battles.

    My guess is more people are logging in to check out the new patch content.

    My friend and I have been experiencing these Lags and Disconnects as well. At times we cannot even retrieve our character lists. I do hope this matter is being looked into and will be fixed soon. Simply annoying, but I do have other things in life...

    lol Dont need system specs on a system wide issue. This is not a high end application and you cant ask someone who doesnt know how to get their specs to post them. Ran tier 3 support and quality control for ages. We were the ones that usually fixed things and I never had to look at specs could get them other ways. :)

    *signed* Lag, server not responding, started happening this afternoon, everywhere, every instance change, moving in SB1, etc. Try to log out and log back on and get character select screen for 10 minutes.

    lol Stats supercede minimum requirements all drivers updated no latency on my end service provider not seeing any problems from their end can open and run other games just fine. Its not on our end.
