Periods of massive lag.

It's 17:20 (gmt-5) and I can't play STO so laggy it is.

WHY?

I just checked my connection speed at pingtest.net scoring a nice and constant "A" but when I try logging in STO all I get is either disconnected or delays of several minutes to any action or click I may do.

I can play all of my online games/MMOs with performances as low as "C" on that testing utitlity, STO included.

But right now and some other times, it is just STO that is stuck in molasse, I could say frozen.

WHY?

I just want to know.

    Check your Proxy setting on the launcher. An adjustment there might fix your problem.

    I'm not exactly sure, but I'm guessing it has something with the free trial weekend. People who played this game before get to come back and try it for free all weekend, so there must be a large load of people logging in and playing.

    I had problems earlier, went a way for a little while, came back and I was able to play with no problems.

    Just checked the server perf and everything looks smooth on this end with nearly all individual server instances running above FPS goals.

    So there's no clear sign of trouble on this end.

    I had a connection issue about two hours ago. But that was right after schools let out in my area. Depending where you are, you are getting to the most active part of the day for ISPs. That may have something to do with it.

    Tried later and thing were back to normal, working fine.

    I did check the proxy settings though and found out it was set on nothing but I never got any issues getting connected before. I set it to US to test how it will go.

    I hate those periods of lag...:mad:

    Thx for answering and giving a report from your end.

    I wonder... is it possible that we can't connect sometimes because of the character we're trying to load is in a map/instance which has reached its maximum? I'm asking this because I remember trying to change map once and it gave me a message that I couldn't because it was full. It was when one night a GM had borgs travel to the Andoria system. So if a map is full and I'm trying to log into that map, I guess I would just be thrown back in the login page.
