Stuck at Loading... Screen

Im stuck at Loading screen. I was zoning in to do a mission when i get the never ending loading screen, ive been dissconnected about 5 times now to to timeouts. At least im not getting the never ending retrieving Character list screen like i was last night.....

I did download and install TCPviewer, and currently it says for one of the connections ESTABLISHED and for another it says LISTENING.

I play with a friend and hes having the same problems. Stuck at loading screen. we do not use the same internet connection.

    As I already said in another thread... pretty much the entire population of Earth Spacedock seems to be stuck in the same way as you and your friend are. The moment we try to beam off of the station, we get 10 minutes of loading slowly before being disconnected with this message:

    "timeout while waiting for gameserver address".

    add -console to the launcher advance command and you will have a console window showing what the game is doing so you can see what it is hanging at.

    A GM once posted that the fastest way to get an issue noticed is to report your own post. This flags it for GM investigation and they have to read it. You could always try that if you think they aren't noticing.

    Another way is to use your brain. When you see 4 other topics with 50 responses on the same subject.. add to the pile. A 50 response thread is more likely to be read by a GM than a 3 response one.

    Same problem. Is it because there are too many players logged in?

    I keep crashing so not timing out it just crashes and won't do a thing, so shut it down in taskmanager restart and it works for 1-3 loading screens and crash again.

    WTF did they really do with this patch that such a bugs and faulty programming are part of it, during beta they did better than this.

    This is the problem I've been having for an hour now. It's fine in Sector Space Block but I get stuck loading any missions upon entering a system.

    Just bought the game today and was trying to play. Stuck at character screen for about 6 tries. Now stuck at the loading screen and cant get pasted that point. Sorry to say but glad I see other people having the same issue. However now I wish I would have never bought the game.:mad:

    Ok bugged it in game and got a canned response from an admin that they know about it and are investigating. Who knows if that means it'll be fixed any time soon, but at least there's some confirmation they know that map transfers aren't working.

    How about Cryptic pay us to play this game.Since we cant log in or do anything, Reminds me of the good old Everquest days:mad: Lets make a game and have 1 or 2 people be in charge of support issue's so we don't have to worry about people playing our games

    I originally kept trying to do that but gave up after an hour. Since then, I've been Rping on Teen Second Life inside UFS.

    How do you do the console command? i put it in the command line but it doesn't do anything when i press ok or enter...


    Additionally, i think they might as well do the maintenance now since it seems as if NOBODY can play anyway...
