    Could be changes in your ISP, or the network load their processing... Since this is a connection issue, take a look at this thread, then post some network diagnostic information...

    Coincidentally, I've read news of some recent DDoS attack affecting multiple games and game services.

    I doubt it. Judging by the sudden flurry of posts here and in General Discussion, something has gone wrong.

    Same issue here. It worked fine just a few hours ago and now I can't connect at all.

    EDIT: Launcher worked but now I can't connect to the game servers even though they say they are online.

    Getting same problem. Tried multiple times (both me and the launcher). Even tried rebooting computer (which sometimes clears connection-to-STO problems). Nada. Not sure if shutting down/rebooting external modem will do any good, since Internet connection alive and well, but may have to, just to check and see. :(

    It's not an issue on your end. If you had connection issues to internet then that would be a thing to try. Since it's not, you shouldn't.

    Listen up, people!


    It seems that a group of script kiddies is executing a DDoS attack on various game servers.

    Among the affected are the Playstation Network (PSN), a few Blizzard game services (WoW and Diablo III), Path of Exile, and apparently Cryptic's patch server (at the very least) has also been brought down, as this unable to connect issue is persisting even to their other games.

    There is nothing you or anyone can do until the server is brought back up. It is nothing to do with your internet connection, nothing you've done recently, its simply a DDoS attack carried out by a third party.

    Ok, source of this alleged DDoS attack please?

    Not heard anything about it before your post...

    I've added them to the post so you can link them.


    It looks like a DDoS attack aimed at MMO servers indiscriminately, judging from the targets so far.

    Account server is unavailable as well. So you can't just fire up the client, without going through the patcher and login from the client.
