Are you sure maintenance is over?

15 minutes of account server timeout errors seems to suggest that something is still not turned on.

    Same issues, great results from maintenance as usual by Cryptic.

    I'm like SO SHOCKED! I still have to spend 10 minutes force verifying in safe mode just to login after the """fix""". Even more fun when it CONSTANTLY CRASHES.

    Apparently they saved all the server stability bad JuJu for today.

    Is this just a few of us affected or is it widespread?

    I haven't seen a login in issue like this in years.

    The servers are sh1tting themselves due to the massive login attempts.
    I guess they haven't figured out traffic mitigation.

    It feels more like they did not get a correct restart from the downtime. One of the engineers needs to cycle the VM's again.

    Im not sure its the login server. It feels more like the game server is not picking up the request from the account server to join.

    I'll let ya know in a moment.. still DLing todays patch..

    Well, you would thnk we would all be used to it by now.. new season and major systems changes and all that. I know players that utterly refuse to log in for the first few after a major patch.

    Ok, patched up, logged right into the game.. on a toon all ready.

    It's not having to everyone..

    STO seems like its always ready crash at a moments notice..

    Might have had something going grabbing bandwidth on you.. When I run sto I have a voice com app up (team speak 3.. SMALL memory footprint client side.. and fairly low bandwidth usage..very stable) a brouser window open... usually to the STO web site of forums, winamp, and pulling a feed from Subspace-radio.net or one of the other STO associated net stations.

    NOTHING that going to use a whole lot of CPU cycles..

    Thats the only thing I can think of off the bat that might be causing issues your side that you can do something about.... If your running wireless to your computer you could have a wireless dropping on you.. or just badly positioned (lot of folks run in house wireless networks these days)

    Wireless uses a FM signal.. and FM is notorious for not likeing to push a signal through solid objects.

    I had a friend who liked to put his wireless modem in his homes bathroom because it was "centrally located" in his house. He had it mounted on the wall kinda of tucked in next to the toilet...His wife did not appreciate hubbys electronic clutter about the house.. And he was always having problems in about 1/2 the house.. The material that made up the toilet were killing the signal. The toilet was decrativly glazed. The glaze color happened to use metal based pigment material to get its color. It doesn't take much metal to fill an FM signal.

    He had a talk with his wife.. the modem got moved up above the bathroom door, and he hasn't had a problem since.

    Use yer eyes, use yer brain. You WILL figure this out.

    stand there, and you hold the coat hanger in the window. )

    Ok, maintance is done have fun and check out all the stuff we fixed and added.

    Oh i would like to but there one biig issue, YOU FORGOT TO FIX THE FREAKIN LOGIN ISSUES!!!

    yep..hey, you CAN use a coat hanger for a wireless entenna....I was an electronis/ew tech in the airforce way back when.. When I left tech school I also had an FCC licence.. Call the tech whatever you want.. its still radio.

    Left arm up in.. ok, games coming in great don't move for at least two hours! *grin*

    What ever are the causes (I'm really sure its more then any single cause..a single point of failure would have been fixed and stayed fixed by now) they're gonna fix it... whomever the hosting service is has to get on board with 'em.
