    Same issue, can't authenticate.

    (humorous demands for insane and improbable compensation for lost play time goes here. :) )

    Same issue. But, new event, still the same old problems with Cryptic. So sad to see they don't learn from their past, recent issues.

    I was about to buy some zen, guess this was a sign...
    Until Cryptic fixes the bugs and the huge lag problem, i refuse to give them a single cent. A company that charges hundreds of dollars but can't even give a stable bugfree game (or at least doesn't have bugs that are years and years old), doesn't deserve my money.
    Also when coming back after 2 years not playing STO, spending $30 and getting hit immediately with a 7 day account probation.
    This shows very little respect from cryptic towards their playerbase and, this is another reason to not spend any single cent on this game.

    Same here, I was just gonna check the game out after being away for a while. However I'm getting the same error. Guess I'll shelve it again.

    Same here, either Steam, Arc, or direct from launcher. "Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out". Devs monitoring this thread (I hope)?

    Same here. And since patch, Steam auth isnt working anymore.
    Edit: I was in game. I did Binary stars, but i couldnt reclaim ship from Zen store, thats where it started. I got disconnected from server and now i cant log back in.

    Tried the original STO launcher and ARC same problem with both, ARC updated and loaded but failed to launch game.

    Same for me too. I use steam but got forced into that linking and have requested to unlink the accounts. I thought this was related to it. seems it's effecting all sorts though.

    Our PC Accountserver is having a bit of an identity crisis. We've despatches a Starfleet counselor, and should have it back to normal shortly

    If I remember correctly authenticate server is separate from actual game server, so the green server status may be correct.

    Yes the Account Server is separate from the game server

    same here, europe/austria.
    its typical: new hotness is being launched (in this case new t6 ship event) and there are not enough server ressources available to handle the load thus not allowing connection.
    why the hell do we even have a TLS?! Instead of a priority login we cannot login at all!

    seems it will take longer, might be a serious issue. can happens even it did not for years like that. Pls keep working, we trust in God and You. give em their time they need. they will solve it probably within hours. Dont worry, be happy, seems we need some patience for our great STO Universe. You see everything needs good maintenance.I Love Perfect World Ent.

    Arc login, same 'Time out' since patch.
  • rrdeprise#8705 rrdeprise Member Posts: 4 Arc User
    ohh yes, might be also that the illegal keybind app and their illegal script into sto chat also fkks the servers. Pls dont use the keybind app in sto, it caused the lags because its unusual for the game to load all abilities just by one space bar button also its to fire weapons and they link them together. Pls dont use that in sto!
  • rrdeprise#8705 rrdeprise Member Posts: 4 Arc User
    yeah it works again by now, just got into the patch. Love u perfect world!
