Getting In...

Anybody else having troubles getting into the game and staying in at the moment?

I'm guessing that my T/W connection is probably the culprit, since I've noticed lately that after midnight (EST) they seem to be throttling back my connection.

Even the Launcher is acting funky and I very rarely have a problem with it.

    Honestly couldn't tell you with T/W. I live in MFN and T/W hardly services the areaa. ATT doesn't either so we're on a different company, which really isn't good, cause I am normally having to resett my connection on the computer to even stay on the game.

    It does get frustrating, especially if you're doing an event on Disney Risa or a PvE. If i can make a suggestion, try unplugging your router and then plugging it back in, that could be the issue and let it refresh itself if it's left on all the time. Honestly have no idea if you have a modem router all rolled into one or they are both seperate. If both seprate then unplug both then plug back in.

    Last night I could not log in for about 2 hours. Between 21:00 and 23:00, that is CET.

    Update

    This morning I have played for some time. First I could get into the game, but my character did not respond well to my commands. I relogged in and I could play fine. Then I relogged to another character and I Had the same problems again. Character did not respond. Even the game did no longer respond. I did a hard quit (Alt F4) and restarted, then everything went fine.

    Overall, I have to say, game performance has decreased with DR and it really shows when events are on.

    Actually just bought both a new modem and router last month.
    The old ones were going on three years old and were showing their age.

    Up until today, I haven't really had any serious trouble playing the game.

    I did see in another thread though that the newest NVidia driver (which I DL'd Sat. night) can play havoc with STO.
    So in the morning, I will roll back that driver to an earlier version and see if that helps.

    Heading off to bed now though, 4am here.

    I live in the UK and have been having problems for the past few days with the usual DC's, SNR's, lag and rubber-banding.

    After doing a tracert and pathping test I found that one of BT (British Telecom) servers was having problems as well as a problem with one of Cryptics servers (found by a whois lookup of the IP address). I don't know what has caused it but the problem got worse the more load was put on it (as you would expect) so hopefully will get corrected very soon.
