    The fact that it cleared up and started back today seems to point to a DDoS.

    Can't log in, the launcher keeps saying 'unable to authenticate: Server has timed out' It times out after one second. Please fix.

    Same issue, third day in a row. Though I have found it is less of an issue early in the day, and it will eventually work with enough tries. I just got logged in, but it took over 50 attempts. I put my password into notepad so I could ctrl-c (copy) it to the windows clipboard, then keep ctrl-v ing (pasting) into the launcher and hitting enter.

    I doubt if this is an issue with priority login, but rather with the login server itself not being able to handle so many login requests at the same time. Not too many online, but too many trying to get online at once. Still needs fixed ASAP though.

    Edit: Ok, I take it back, thought I logged in, now the ENGAGE button is not working. Sheesh PWE, get your act together.

    Managed to get into the game, but all my graphic settings have reset to what looks like Windows ME. Closed the game and cannot get back in. I will keep trying.

    been fine since after maint, now getting kicked out and then account server is really slow, sometimes times out, other times hangs fora few min before timing out or actually loading character select screen. Unable change character, times out.

    Unable to authenticate, and the stupid thing wants me to type in my password, so I can't force verify anything.

    Started when I logged onto my Jem'hadar, then went to switch characters. it froze, then booted me to the title screen with the login prompt. Closed the game client, re-summoned the launcher, and it's been "unable to authenticate" ever since.

    STO been broken, can't log in, for 12 hours now for me. "Patch the bugs & bug the patches!"

    Dear Cryptic, please get some new hamsters to run on the tread-wheels, clearly the current ones can't keep up any longer...

    The serious bit though: getting the same error as others, associated with the login server.

    Region: UK
    ISP: iDNET
    Using the standalone launcher.

    was playing earlier and went to change characters and I got logged out. Now I cannot log in again.
  • cestovatelkacestovatelka Member Posts: 16 Arc User
    All this right after an unannounced downtime yesterday, & the usual weekly downtime earlier today? & Now This? Someone steal their E.D. meds?
  • ajwillia69ajwillia69 Member Posts: 6 Arc User
    You can eventually get farther than login but so far no actually playing just says unable to connect to account server even after getting past login.
  • njodeath#7166 njodeath Member Posts: 28 Arc User
    Tried to do the test thing they posted and I cant even find the start button. So sorry you will be unable to get any data from me.

    Unable to authenticate/time out as well. happened after a SNR in Argala in which I had to close the game, was unable to relog since.
    I had no issues recently before this patch...

    Unsure on which post I should add this so may add on some which seem relevant.

    Region: Isr (I assume playing on the regular English/EU shard if there are localized ones. Holodeck)
    ISP: Partner
    Steam (with wine/proton)


    Update: at last after many tries and maybe two restart and one successful force verify, and after posting regarding the issue ofc, I could finally connect late yesterday. I don't know what helped, I do know proxy change didn't help me - at least initially.
    I'll delete the accidental multi-posting due to a combined topic - sorry about that.
