^^ no luck fixing mine.

Interesting screenshot showing the 44th Starbase started over with my having access to start fleet projects as a Lt. Commander… several minutes later, it showed as it should.

edit ^^ this isn’t lag or latency its bugged, showing me access I shouldn’t have. Still taking several minutes also to clear one completed doff assignment after clicking on collect rewards. My game is unplayable.

My game is dead. If by some miracle I am able to login now, I am stuck in place and errors such as above are the norm.

I tossed my hat into the ring in this thread: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=5445811#post5445811

Hey Grouchy, any more ideas?

[Latinumbar]

did you try a force verify of files?

[mrbruce1970]

This issue was talked about on the STO forums and some users with ASUS motherboards reported that updating their ethernet drivers resolved the issue.

try also disabling on-demand patching in your launcher and use there proxy.

Force verify, tried the proxy, downloaded and reinstalled the entire program as well.

Not an ASUS but updated anyway, no joy.

This morning, it disconnects just after toon selection. 😐

D/L and installed STO game client for the 3rd time in 24 hours and I am optimistic in the first few minutes of play as it seems this time everything is ok. Stay tuned.

edit: tried any and all solutions I’d found including enabling port forwarding which I left enabled with the new install though it works now either way. So far so good, all windows are loading data and haven’t had any rubberbanding

I was lagging so bad a few mins ago, I couldn’t load a mission or trans-warp. 👿 Lets hope it doesn’t last long.

[defcon1776]

Its baaaack… same problem… Ta’al out.

Duplicate post from STO forum (http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=225155&page=21):

Connectivity problems started with latest patch. Have reinstalled client, reset network equipment (all my machine IP’s etc. are always manually set), verified all drivers and firmware, disabled A/V, tried with US/EU proxy, force verify and other launcher options, minimal graphic settings. I am certain my PC isn’t the problem as evidenced below, which is a typical result each time I run these.

I will check back here as even if I check to be notified by email I never get any when there is a reply on this forum. (Broken? Why am I not surprised)

TIA for any advice on resolving a dead game.

Have you tried this?

Sporadic ISP Issue Fix:
The below is not guaranteed to work but might help solve some issues with your ISP. Using the Post Office analogy, this is like getting a new address and having mail delivered there.
Renew IP Address

Go to Start Menu
Search for cmd
Right-click and “Run as Administrator”
Type the following: ipconfig /release
Hit Enter
Now, type ipconfig /renew
Hit Enter

[CodeWarrior316]

What kind of internet provider do you have and are you hard wired into router or to the modem? Are you getting any packet loss? Sounds to me like your provider has some issues.

try from the cmd prompt:

ping patchserver.crypticstudios.com -t

for a few mins and that will let you know about packets being lost.

This will only work if you are using DHCP to assign local IP/DNS/Gateway. My entire network does not use DHCP and all local IP/DNS/Gateway are assigned manually and are always static. This is done so I can tightly control what machines/devices are allowed to access my net. Thanks for the input though:)

I have been doing some speed testing today and am finding all speed tests to SanFrancisco/Seattle are having problems with both d/u speeds if they don’t drop all packets period. Best U/l speed to SF today was 0.1 Mbps where I am paying for 1.5 which is enough to stream decent quality video to JTV. Of course best speed all around goes to Washington DC, getting 2x what is paid for… There’s a conspiracy theory in there somewhere… 🙂

I’ve considered getting on the phone with ATT but my blood pressure is fine today and I’d like to keep it that way. Trying to get someone there who actually IS a tech person and knows what I’m trying to tell them is a remote venture at best.

So, my conclusion is: it isn’t me or PWE and possibly ATT as it may be a new route or a temporary one if a server somewhere failed and is on a failover route. So for now, I’m stuck in spacedock.

Oh, and my gaming machine is hardwired, not wireless though I could use my 300n router.

That went fine.
