    Seriously.. an ETA would be FREAKING NICE.

    Oh and, btw, have your support staff actually READ the tickets before telling me to transwarp to a different system or beam up to my ship...

    So I bought me a Reman, got the character to level 4, I think, and now I can't play them. The loading screen gets to 94.04 and I get "Server Not Responding"

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I would love an estimated ETA. All my crew are stuck on the bridge, and every bathroom is malfunctioning. Nobody can hold their bladder for almost 4 days!!

    I'm having this problem now too. Tried entering a solar system last night (don't remember which one, it was for a storyline mission), got stuck on the loading screen (server stops responding at 94%), and haven't been able to log-in that character since. He just gets stuck at 94% on the loading screen every time I try. My other character works just fine, for now.

    I got this response from the support team: Has any of this worked for anyone? I am having no such luck.

    Greetings Player,

    Please first restart your computer and network hardware and try again a little bit later before trying anything else. This is important!

    After a major launch there is always a huge spike in players.

    > STO: The Legacy of Romulus expansion has proven to be very popular, and so there are unfortunately busy login servers and a queue (line) that some of you will have to wait in. Things should should smooth out in the coming weeks as things get improved and adapted. We very much appreciate your patience and dedication to your game!

    Please try again later today and see if you have a better time getting in.

    Please check the forums and website to see if the game was down for maintenance or another reason in the time frame you were having trouble.

    Please go over the info we have below, as some of it can help you with the most common problems.

    You can try running Options > Force Verify on the game launcher menu, let that complete and try again.

    You can try disabling on-demand patching in Options on the game launcher and try the game again.

    You can try using one of the Cryptic Proxy connections in the Options on the game launcher to connect with and see if that helps you temporarily.

    You can try reinstalling the game with the latest game client. If you are having problems with the launcher, you can try replacing it for your game:

    STO: http://download.perfectworld.com/sto/launcher/Star%20Trek%20Online.exe

    You may have to be on a Windows Admin account, or have Run as Admin access to be able to download, install, update, and run the game. If on Windows Vista or 7/8, you may have to change the level of your UAC settings or turn them off temporarily.

    You can try adding the game folder/files to your exceptions list in your antivirus and firewall software. Please see the help menu or support website for the software that you use if you aren't sure how to do it.

    At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.

    You may also have to disable, shut down, uninstall, or disable any: torrent, remote computer access or control software, keyboard/mouse, web browser toolbars, video/screen capture, gamepad/input device, multimedia, Instant Messaging, voice over IP, web browser games, other games software applications before downloading, installing, updating, logging into, and playing the game. Basically shut down all non-essential programs.


    -> You can try flushing your DNS to help with connection issues.

    1) Press the Windows Key + R

    Should bring up Run window.

    2) Type in cmd and press Enter

    A black command prompt window should appear.

    3) Type in ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

    Since the update, your security software may have decided to start blocking the game or patching process. Please carefully go over the info below to help you.

    Please make sure that you have Team Viewer disabled.

    Check to make sure the following ports are open and allowed through your firewall.
    IPs: 208.95.184.0/22
    TCP Ports: 80, 443, 7000-7500

    You may need to check with your internet provider, your network device's Help or Support resources, on how to do so.

    If you need further help, when you contact us by a support ticket, please answer the following questions:

    What exactly did you try in the information presented to you?

    What changes to your software did you make?

    What errors did you get?

    But has anyone gotten into the server since/after receiving this 94.07% loading screen error?

    When I was in-game I would receive it a couple times, it would reach 45% and then load up after about a minute.

    But all day, when trying to get in-game at all, I get up to 94.07% and just hang. I have tried closing the game completely (only thing to do) with no effect....

    It's been happening since Season 7. It always happens when you are uploading patches for that zone. So the server confuses that as a disconnect.

    I'd like to think that Cryptic would see this as an issue worth putting in overtime to resolve.

    I hope this gets resolved soon. I created a second character and so far no issues. I'm past Helix mission where all hell broke loose. Now trying to get them to refund my Zen I used on my first character that stopped working.

    They need to resolve it tonight. Even if it requires overtime and emergency maintenance. Here's why...

    ...it's clear from the posts here today that this issue is continuing to happen. It must be fixed before the game experiences increased usage this weekend, or it's going to turn into a huge mess for Cryptic.

    I hope they understand just how epically bad this could be for them in the coming days. I also hope they've got a pot of coffee brewed for their team tonight.

    Got a question according to the bug:

    Are all your Chars stuck at the loading screen at exactly 94% loading progress?
    We figured out, that more chars getting stuck.
    Mostly when somebody tries to fly in another sector or in transwarp mode.

    Every time when I try to login with my main character at 94,xx%, I just get an server not responding message.

    All other characters work fine until now.

    I just selected 2 traits and set course on the Delta Volanis Cluster.
    Directly on the sector change my client timed out at 94% loading status.

    PS.: Sorry for my cruel english - I'm from germany ;)
    BTW Greetings over the ocean ;)

    PPS.: In germany there are also much chars which stuck in the loading screen...
    Actually even with the new patch still counting up!

    Yes, also getting stuck at 94.07 or whatever it is.


    My toon got stuck after I respecced the race traits while standing in ESD, and then when I beamed to my ship, bam.....stuck in between maps with the endless timer and 94.07 etc.

    Again, to reiterate, have 750 dollars invested in my main toon, plus countless hours. he's the toon I play the most, the toon I enjoy most, and he's stuck, and maybe gone.

    Was going to buy the legacy pack, but can't bring myself to do it now that there is a possibility that my toon that I have spent months building might be gone. What's the point? I'll just lose the next toon i build in a few months on next patch. And no way I am dumping that much time or money into a new toon.

    Very hard to be excited about this game right now. Actually, it's very easy to be depressed about this game right now. Doesn't seem to be enough of us in this predicament to matter to the devs.

    Customer Crop tic says:
    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    If you find that you have become stuck in a public zone, such as Earth Spacedock, please try changing instances. Doing this should return you to the nearest spawn point with no associated penalty.

    Should you become stuck inside of mission you can try the "Abort Mission" button located at the top left of the minimap which should allow you to leave immediately. Please note that this option will cancel any progress made in that mission, however, you should see the option to continue the mission once you have returned to sector space.

    Additionally, a quick log out and back in has also been known to resolve certain stuck issues and return you to your current instance or mission.

    If you are stuck in any space map, using "Transwarp" should return you to Earth Spacedock or Qo'noS depending on your faction.

    In the event that these options still do not resolve your issue please update this ticket with as many details as possible and we will attempt to contact you.

    Thank you for playing!


    Kind Regards,
