Are you guys experiencing some type of server issues. I cannot log on to STO. I have also been experiencing logon issues through Arc for the past month. I've been having to logon through Steam. Before you start "Its your computer." No it isn't. There is nothing wrong with my computer. I have even went and reloaded Arc and it still doesn't fix the issue.
Today (08/28/2015) starting around 6 pm (EST-US), the game started to boot up, but when it reaches the character selection screen and then goes to enter game; I am getting a logon error message.

. looooong time to load launcher.
. Looooong time at character selection.
. Login server times out.
. Severe lag once I finally get on
. Server not responding issues
Been doing it all day and into the night for me.
As a matter of fact, it's been happening on and off for the past three weekends, usually on Sunday afternoons. Peak times I would surmise,
I'm having the same issues that these folks are having. Crystalline Entity mission is unplayable for me right now. The game lags so badly that it's like I'm fighting someone else for my ship control, and have extremely severe rubber-banding.
I also get lots of the evil "Server Not Responding (##:##)" messages, and/or outright booted out of the game. Then, it often takes a long time and/or several tries to get back to the character selection screen. Once I pick my character, it often will log me back out, or take a very long time to get logged in. I also get the "account server timed out" messages.
Whatever gremlins got in with the code, PLEASE fix them! Right now, the game is essentially unplayable for me.
Cryptic Studios.....please fix this.

This is why some people are able to get on Neverwinter and STO, and some aren't. Unfortunately, my trace route to PWE servers in Boston happens to go through one of these affected outage areas. For me, and likely most others affected by this problem, this appears to be the reason for these problems.
Might changing DNS servers give you clean trace route to the servers? I don't know. I tried alternate DNS servers with no avail, but that doesn't mean if others do so that it won't work. It appears that selecting a DNS server located further north might have a better chance of success. If you try changing DNS settings, make sure that you can do so without messing things up, and look up some documentation for your ISP in order to find out what is allowed/disallowed and what is feasible/unfeasible. I've only dealt with one ISP in the last ten years, so I don't really know how they will differ.
The link to this map has been posted elsewhere a number of times since this has been a problem, but I figured I'd post it here for those who may find it useful. It seems likely that the mods, devs and other members who have commented on this Level 3 matter have explained it quite cogently (zing). Is it possible
Also, the devs and others who attempted to lock down these problems could not do so. It seems, at least in this case, that this issue is out of their control. It's been difficult for me to stay away from playing a game that I've honestly been playing way too much, but however it goes, I will try to remain patient.
