Just hangs at "Retrieving list of characters". I've shut it down twice now, but still hangs at the same place. It doesn't even time out. Just hangs at that spot.
I was onroute to a system and got pulled into an Enemy Signal Contact. The Loading Screen froze and when I tried to reboot STO, I now get stuck at Retrieving Character Screen.
That said, there should be an option other than waiting for ten minutes while it does nothing. At the very least, maybe some sort of error message telling me I should just take a walk and come back later when it wants to work.
Same. However I decided to let it hang, after about 20 mins it finally let me in.
Then when I tried to zone I got "Server not responding", after letting that sit for about 15 mins I closed and tried to log in and I'm stuck back at "Retrieving list of characters".
I'm having this problem too now. Was stuck on the Sol loading screen for ages so i restarted and lowered the graphics settings and now can't even get the character selection options.
Stuck there too. Got a "server not responding" message while changing maps, causing to have to dump out of the game. When I logged back in, characters wouldn't retrieve.
Well I wont be a broken record, everyone seems to be having the same issues as myself, and yes stuck at retrieving characters after a not responding, whatever this patch did it disrupted the server somehow.

It would be nice to be able to play the game.
