In all 3 years, since STO started i never had problems like this. I get disconnected all the time, and the increasing of lag is making the game almost unplayable.
Please do something!
I hadnt noticed it really bad until today when I got kicked every time since 1pm and the client started doing funky stuff. I thought it was something else at first but then more ppl noticing it and such I know its a cryptic/pwe problem. I see I should never get in the mmorpg business if a company like PWE can drop 50 mil on a company like this and not provide a stable connection... bad business
Same here. Every time I go into the PVE window, no matter what I do, it crashes automatically and I am kicked out of the game. Same thing has happened the few times I am quick enough to join a pve and close the window, it kicks me off the server when the pve starts. I have also been kicked off the server and gotten the crash error several times when changing sectors.
Hi started playing yestredray and all i have is lag !
lag every time i move evrytime i shoot i cant even choose skills !!! getting throught facility is imposible i move 10 meters forward and 20 backwards
and those lags occur even by midninght
I am in europe, i tried to set proxy to EU than it refused to log me in
my ping to google is around 30 and my ping to stratrek servers doesnt go below 150
IS this normal ???? if yes than goodbye i am quiting
Account Server and Lists of Characters are loading fine, but as i click one of my chars, the map starts loading and a few secs later i get a disconnect.
Similar issue here, although i can login after some time, nothing ingame works, e.g:
- when i try to que for pvp/e the window doesn't show anything but "waiting for server..."
- In space i see other peoples ships behaving normally, while mine does not move in any way
- once ingame, i cant log out except for closing the client
Very annoying, just as i startet to get into the game, oh well...
Disconnects are getting extremely annoying. It only started after the patch at the beginning of February.
I can now only play the game when connected via the US proxy. Even then, I still get disconnected about once every 15 minutes. Makes playing the game a bit of a chore.
Also, I can no longer Alt-Tab in Fullscreen or Switch windows while in windowed mode. That will cause it to instantly be disconnected. So much for attempting to do other things while playing.

Ping doesn't help in properly diagnosing issues in latency. It'll tell you the latency between that particular point and your PC, but not what's going on over the whole route.
Try using the tests outlined in the lag and rubberbanding sticky. It'll really help with seeing the larger picture with your issue.
Been getting this on and off for a couple of weeks now, totally unplayable when it happens, seems to happen in stops and starts, plays fine for 10seconds, then spends 30seconds where I can't do anything, then suddenly recovers and plays fine for 10 seconds etc etc
Getting constant server not responding errors, log in fine, just have about enough time to click on a couple of doff missions then server times out for 30seconds, comes back for 10seconds etc etc
In UK here if that makes any difference, playing starbase fleet defense earlier, everyone complaining of lag was in Europe, only people who didn't get any where all state side.

The resounding silence from Cryptic/PWE speaks volumes about their approach to customer service.
As a business model, expecting people to spend money on a game run on an inadequate server is plain suicidal.
Ignoring the forum complaints, and running a support page that doesn't work is a bit like playing soccer with a land mine.
Spend money on a game that kicks every five minutes, then refuses to restart ? I don't think so.

After stumbling upon this thread: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=272002&page=4
i played around with the taskmanager and got it working for some 5-10 minutes(can't really say how or why), now its messed up once again.
