I can not say it enough guys i know that with a brand new season comes may unexpected issues but what is up with the excessive lag? i can play any of my other mmos and not have an issue. all of my fleet mates also have the issue of LAG. Example right now im trying to toon hop on to my klink i have checked my mail on my main and now have hit the log out button to log out. inorder for my to log out i have to wate for the server not responding to apper and get knocked out that way. as well as when log into a new toon it takes for ever for every thing to load in if i move one lil bit i rubber band so bad! so pls guys its making the game unplayable!

I don't have any lag issues and have never had a problem toon-swapping. Are you in UK/Europe? If so, you might try one of the proxies on the launcher. Its listed under options along the top when you start the launcher.
im not in the uk im in the usa and i have never had lag issues or any of my fleet mates untill the launch of season 6
Strange. Don't know what to tell you. Hope it gets worked out for you.
speedtest.net shows a 24ms to Boston for me so WTH is the issue?!?! :mad:

Speedtest is usually not valid as many ISPs cache it and/or have a higher priority assigned to that traffic.
There's a pair of teats to run in this sticky:

Can you please give those a try and copy ans paste the results so we can see if we see anything?
For me though, it;s always been the network. I use a lot of public wifis and I can pretty much know how the connection is going to be.
I hear ya about speedtest but it is a quick indicator of whether or not there is a real issue with primary hubs like MAE EAST.
I ran all the tests and to avoid a double post I'll put a link for the results here.

Ping and tracert look good but cryptic's nettest.exe did not seem to look so good if I read it correctly, that to me indicates the issue is more likely on their side or with their provider.
I do a LOT of stuff on the net to include other games and multimedia, however right now STO is the only poor performer out of the bunch. If it was just my personal connection or a local issue then problems would be cropping up in other networking functions as well for me not just STO.
You really can't compare STO to other network gaming, as its known that STO is much more network intensive then other games, with a far greater number simultaneous network connections being used, and is far more likely to bring out deficiencies in your network connections...
Try cutting down on the number of network connections used, (such as disabling Voice Chat) and see if that improves your condition...
the EU% proxy don't work not worked for ages for me anyway!!!
Voice chat is disabled already, don't use it. As I said it may be a portion of their hardware or on the other hand some of their data connections to it.
The majority of players appear to be unaffected yet there are many within my fleet (usa & worldwide) having intermittent disconnect issues, as well as others on the forums all reporting the same thing. Too many people are experiencing it to be an isolated fluke ...I've already ticketed it myself. This post is just another way of reporting it so Cryptic/PWE can look into it and other players are aware it's not just them.
And here is another thread cropping up on this problem.

Pair of teats....sorry for the derail, but I just had to LOL at that.
As to the post prior to this one: Enough with the "we're being discriminated against!!" conspiracy theory. It's getting quite old and stale, really--and your post title is quite crude and distasteful. If that were the case the whole of Europe would have the same issue. A handful of EU players having an issue =/= PWE/Cryptic being anti-EU
Again, people, run traceroutes and the basic diagnostic tests outlined in the stickies before you level your finger at the company. For those who have, congratulations--you now have something of a foot to stand on as well as a basic understanding of how the system works. For the rest of you, the internet does not magically consist of just your PC and the game server, hence the reason such diagnostic tests are provided.
For the record, NA players are having the issue too.
