Not sure if this is the spot to post, let me know if I should move to a different topic forum.

Now that Season one has been updated, but game loads extremely slow.

I launch STO fine, I log in fine. Im at a location half way though a misison. When I click to continue the mission it tries to load, but after like 5 minutes of loading I get a time out error.

What should I check? Where should I go?

    I opened a ticket. Will see what happens. I bet if I go through and unistall the game, download the contect (hopefully it has been updated) maybe that would work. All the patching, caching may be causing issues not sure. I tried to enter a different system thinking that mabybe because the mission was in mid stride and then having the season one update caused the issue. When to a system I never have gone to, and same problem. This is very trustrating, especially since I dished out $365.00 for the game (game plus subscription). Hope they fix soon or tell me what to do.

    On a completely different topic, how do I change my avatar and all? I mean I see where to edit it and use a custom avatar, but I should be able to get the standard one for a lifetime member right? Is there not a gallery for standard STO avatars that one can pick and use, plus extra ones depending on your status and or type of subscription? Same goes for title.

    Yeah same problem here. When ever 'loading...' is on screen it is extremely slow and then it times out. Happens on both fed and kling toons. It started just now however and I had played with the new patch for few hours ok.

    I too am experiencing issues entering into systems. The load time is much longer than normal. I can watch the progress bar move very slowly, but it is definitely not worth waiting for. I have yet to get booted out of the game, but that is probably because I closed the program before it could.

    Many of the servers have gone blooey. There's nothing to do but to wait for Cryptic to find the problem and fix it. :(

    Regardless of which MMORPG this happens in (and it happens to pretty much all of them at one time or another, especially early after release), I love how the message boards fill up with people who are under the impression that
    1. the programmers and server maintenance people are unaware of the problem
    2. The programmers and server maintenance people do not understand how serious it is that the servers are down on a MMORPG
    3. The programmers and server maintenance people are not working on the problem and will not start working on the problem until the boards are flooded with tantrums

    Yes, it stinks that the game is essentially unplayable right now. Do try to keep things in perspective, though.

    A Dev posted that they're looking into the trouble, it's happening for everyone. No ETA on a fix, as usual.

    I never any trouble until the patch - now it's all gone pear shaped :(

    Well hopefully that will be taken care of soon. I'm stuck loading into Alpha Centauri at the moment and no amount of loading will help. Oh well at least I have Champions to play.

    Map Loading has gotten progressively worse for me.

    I can't get into the game even without waiting 5 minutes, and when I do, I can't change maps.

    I hope they fix the game before they release anything else that breaks it. The test server is for beta materials.


    *Goes off to do something else.*.

    *Sigh*...

    I was over at a friend's house, and saw these awful lag and map-loading issues while he was trying to show off his latest Cruiser, after just making Rear Admiral...

    Now the server is down, and the posted ETA Uptime of 9:00 - 9:30 PST (Pacific Standard Time, 11:00 - 11:30 Central) has come and -loooong- gone...

    And here I was hoping to get at least a good hour of STO before my 10-day Guest Pass finally runs out...

    TIme for bed, and hope that the server is up in the morning...
