Map cannot load as map is full

[Archived Post]

and then threw me out?

[Archived Post]

same problem here it's sad this is a stupid bug that should not be happing

[Archived Post]

I'm getting the same error...

Edit: Different error this time around... it just threw me out without giving me the "map is full" error but I am now stuck at "Connecting to the login server..."

Also, comments about how this is a "stupid bug" and that it "should not be happening" are frankly ridiculous. It's a beta. Did Cryptic intend for this to happen? Of course not. Does this (or something very like it) and a collection of other obvious launch errors errupt throughout the open beta phase of every MMO? Of course they do. We're stress testing the game now so that Cryptic can fix these "stupid bug(s)" before the game hits the shelves.

[Archived Post]

Im gettin same thing

[Archived Post]

I am having the same problem. Install and Char Gen worked fine. I suspect the load is horrific at this moment but good for Cryptic to know their login caps are being hit.

Edit: Now the Login Server is timming out. Guess the stress & volume test Open Beta style shows room for improvement.

[Archived Post]

Me too
why send you back to the login page ???????

[Archived Post]

Ditto, during the tutorial. I assume it's what kicked me out in the first place after selecting an instance. Booted me to login screen, and when I try to enter it gives me this error.

Also having trouble logging in now.

[Archived Post]

I am getting the same problem

[Archived Post]

You have to figure everyone in in the first part of the game to those instances are full. give it a little time for people to move on and there will be more room for all of us.

[Archived Post]

same issue here.

[Archived Post]

I had the same problem, created character and then got booted out now won't even login to character creator

thats what i was thinking :)

[Archived Post]

Same Problem... They better get this problem fixed before launch.

[Archived Post]

Guys,

This isn't a bug its just that hundreds of people are trying to log on all at the same time.

Just give it a bit.

[Archived Post]

Stress testing is going well i guess....this happens now so it dont happen when game launch

[Archived Post]

Good for us.

This needs to happen.

They need to know if their systems can handle a massive load, and they've just learned it can't.

I'm sure they'll have it fixed pretty quick.

I'll click again in a half hour or so.

Generator looked okay while it was up.

[Archived Post]

I was still creating my character then got kicked back to login screen. Hopefully Cryptic resolve this quickly!

[Archived Post]

Connecting from Europe (if it makes any difference)



Char Generation worked after several attempts.

Up to now i can not proceed any further since i get the "Map cannot load as map is full"

All connects and even the website suffer from delayed response.

Guess Open Beta pushes the limits now ;)

kind regards,

Richard

[Archived Post]

same issue here , created my character and tried to log in .. but error states full.. mihgt have to jump on the snowmobile for awhile. then try again

[Archived Post]

Also trying from europe. Same error here.

[Archived Post]

same issue here map full

[Archived Post]

Players should be able to choose witch instances there going to be on! Right now we don't get to choose at all! This has to be fixed!

[Archived Post]

Welll, things are progressing in a slightly more positive direction! To begin with, client response is snappy and shows no signs of lag (even while logging in) and I was able to complete the first small portion of the tutorial before I was being asked to beam over to the next ship. At this point, after interacting with the transporter, I again recieved the "full map" error and was kicked from the game.

[Archived Post]

I knew this would happen, it went from a small number of closed beta testers to almost the whole planet, Cryptic just needs to add more servers/clusters to get it sorted and the auto-instance selection is a good thing in this situation, it picks an instance that is not full and when none are, it disconnects you.

Annoying since they shouldn't have had this issue in open beta, but i guess it can't be helped, i will wait a few hours or something, such a put off to be honest.

[Archived Post]

This needs to be more like CO when it comes to the instances! I like to know what instance I'm going to!

[Archived Post]

The dumb part isn't that you can't get in (there's a ton of people trying to log in, duh), it's that Cryptic didn't have the foresight to create a queuing system.

The game should not "boot"us if it cannot find an instance. It should before you transport, the game should find a free instance, or just send us back to the original map.

Does anyone know where to post suggestions?

[Archived Post]

I have had the same problems involving logging in due to map congestion. I had hoped that due to the somewhat infamous choice of 'Heavy instancing' that this would not be as prevalent today. Apparently they need 'Heavier Instancing?'

As to dumping, I would rather wait in queue while maps become available. I got dumped during the tutorial for switching to a new area. I was trying to speed through the early area to lessen the load for other people to login/get a map, but I guess other people were doing that too.

[Archived Post]

A note on bug reporting...

Map too full or unable to connect due to server issues aren't bugs. They are normal inconveniences that you will find anytime you try connecting to a MMO the first day of OB or first day of retail release. It also doesn't have to be posted in multiple forums.

Bugs are things that are actually wrong with the game and not just server problems caused by too many people connecting at once. Granted, it would be good not to kick you all the way out or to have a queue system in place for logging in, but that goes in the feedback forum rather than the bug forum.

IIt's beta. this is not the finished game. Good lord.

Anyhow when I did get in, I got to the Khitomer with no lag whatsoever. Other than just really wanting to play, open beta is going good so far.

[Archived Post]

I've been disconnected from the server a couple of times. Finally, I had to spend several minutes connecting to the server, and then several more retrieving list of characters, then several more accessing the maps, and now it's loading slowly, with the Star Trek logo in the foreground, and behind it is the image of the outdoor transporter pad and the graphics are flashing to and fro like a drunk drag queen. Now it's logged me out again. Starting process again.

[Archived Post]

Got booted right when I was about to finish character creation (disconnected from login server). Second login attempt I finished my character only to run into the "map full" problem. So, there you have it.

[Archived Post]

Ditto to OP, frequent server disconnects fyi.

[Archived Post]

Yeah i am getting the BG flashing as well while the Loading bar is increasing. Then it disconects because the Map is full...although before i had "Requested Map no longer exists"

I have managed to get through Char creation now though.

:)

Good luck Cryptic we are all wishing you gods speed (which i always thought was Warp 10..if you are everywhere at once then Gods speed has to be Warp 10) :D

[Archived Post]

i did get this, but now i get kicked at the step before (retrieving map list) then i get disconnect

[Archived Post]

I was having same prob but it got alittle better. The frequent disconnects are to be wxpected and should get better with time. Although, I am having alot of freezing and graphics arent as crisp or seem to be slightly distorted.

[Archived Post]

Finally made it through the character creator only to get the same error mentioned in this thread.

[Archived Post]

Cryptic there isn't Any Excuse for this stuff. You knew there would be a bunch of us wanting to log in. You knew there would be a huge load of players running through the first part of the game; Creating a character and playing through the tutorial. So just FIX IT and don't give us lame excuses! :mad::mad:

[Archived Post]

Logging in from Europe and also having very long wait times for retrieving the character list and an eventual "map is full" error.

Also, I played a while ago through a part of the tutorial, which looked fine to me, but got disconnected at the part where you destroy 4 active probes. After logging in again I was at the stage before that (destroying damaged probes) and could not find a way to get back to the next area.

On another note: a surprising number of people seem to think they're playing a finished product. You're not, you knew this in advance. This is a beta product with flaws, glitches, errors and God knows what else. That's why we're doing this, to make sure it doesn't happen on February 2nd. If you want to enjoy awesome, smooth gameplay you should not have joined the beta testing process.

EDIT: I was able to log back in, but my quest log indicates I need to beam survivors to the Seacole, which is not the part of the quest I'm actually on.

[Archived Post]

Finally made it through the character creator only to get the same error mentioned in this thread.

I'll have to add a "Me too" confirmation on this one. Hopefully it's just an overloaded server error, not that the tutorial map isn't instancing itself.

Update: Oh dear, tried again and the messages "Retrieving List of Maps" turned into "Unable to login as map is full."

After a couple of unsuccessful attempts due to login server timeouts, I finally got to the tutorial section up to the point where you have to beam over to the Khitomer to repel the Borg attack... aaaand the map is full again. >boot< :rolleyes:

[Archived Post]

I have a question? Im now in the main transport area (hub with all the star systems) and I am still getting the error "Map is not accepting logins becuase it is full". Just curious, are we testing this on a bank of servers for production or will more be added? I would hope more would be added? Thanks.

[Archived Post]

Yes I would also like to know when more servers will be added. I know it's open beta but at least let me in for a few minutes to check it out!

[Archived Post]

I just got done downloading the game took me 4 hours, then I had to wait for the patch that was not to long 15 mins or so. Now I make my toon go to log in and I get Map is full and I get booted back to the log in screen. I will not sit in a Que to play a game that I pay to play for one thing so I really hope they have enough servers to support the players. I can not even comment on how the game play is because I have not been able to get into the game to play it. Please do something about this as I would like to play the game to find out if I spent $80 on a game I will not like or play ever.

[Archived Post]

Time to give up that server those devs have been using as a personal workstation.

[Archived Post]

In order for them to fix problems like this, it may be best to say exactly where you are recieving the problem at. Just saying map is full will not help the devs fix it. For me it is tutorial mission where you are just getting beams over to the other ship to help against the borg.

That would make sense if they needed to be able to repeat the problem and it involved a unique situation. This issue is just when everyone hits "play" and the sever comes back and says "not really".

Made a character, clicked play, got the Map full error.

Great Caesar's Ghost Cryptic, what did you expect ? Shouldn't this have been planned for and supplemented the first few days. Is this what to expect on Early start as well ?

[Archived Post]

same :( quite lame.

its pretty much dropped me since the first mission... redoing char creation and trying again

[Archived Post]

Same here. :)

[Archived Post]

I just hope this is not going to be the way they run things in the future. I play many MMO's and know some down time will happen but not on Open Beta it just make you guys look bad, like there was poor planning involved or you just want our money. I sure hope it is nether of those and something unforeseen has happened. I would really love to play the game before it is released this is how I will know if I want to keep playing or if I go back to GameStop and get my $80 back.

[Archived Post]

Same, and it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't kick you out to the login screen everytime. But having to log in, then select the character, load, and then get kicked out having to rinse lather and repeat is agrivating.

[Archived Post]

I'm getting the message in Sector Space. Can't even go anywhere, cause I'm stuck in the system with the transport.

[Archived Post]

Hmmm an interm fix would to be add a waiting Queue to the maps.

[Archived Post]

I actually think I saw some of the problem. I was trying the change instance button and one map had 0 players. And because it sorts on the number of players that server was at the top. When I tried chosing that map I got the full error. And now I can't log back in on that character

[Archived Post]

They say First impressions Matter well this is a very bad first impression....they had plenty of time to plan for this they knew tens of thousands would be trying to logon beta or not they should been prepared:mad:

[Archived Post]

Hmmm an interm fix would to be add a waiting Queue to the maps.

this isn't about interim fixes, it is about finding a permanent solution, that you are staring more at the login procedures (like I am) is part of an open beta. This game only has '1' server so waiting queues really aren't a good option in your end product, thusly they serve no purpose in your open beta.

[Archived Post]

I got the same problem as well right after character creation.

Haven't got to play yet. :(

I'm sure you'll get it fixed soon. :D

[Archived Post]

I have the same problem. Was docking with the station in the Sol System and got the "Map is full" error. Now I can't log in on my character cause it's full.

[Archived Post]

Hmmm an interm fix would to be add a waiting Queue to the maps.

You do have the option to manualy select an instance...given that you manage to get in the game first and change an opion (I don't remember where, but I think was when you click on the small down arrow near your minimap and choose "change instance" in the window that pops up you will see a tick box where it says something like "manualy select instance". Mark it and problem solved.

[Archived Post]

Hmmm an interm fix would to be add a waiting Queue to the maps.

There is no way many people would sit in a Que and wait to play a game they have to pay for, I know there is no way in Hell I would. That kind of screws up the how limited down time the Dev guys were going for when they were making the game, I know in many interviews they spoke about how this game would have low down times. So sitting in a Que is down time in my book.

[Archived Post]

I do get the same bug too...

I dont realy care that its an open beta, i payed for the access and now cryptic must deliver. Even if i didnt its still an open beta...

Terrible first impresston. Hugely unprofessional to have such a basic error in this. I cant image its a surprise to anyone that there might be a ton of people logging on ..

Sure hope they get their act together before soon otherwise the game is realy going to start up hill..:mad::mad:

[Archived Post]

Is there any workaround to the "map full" error? Does creating a new toon help?

[Archived Post]

im getting the same error and creating a new toon wont help seems like cryptic underestimated how popular the game was going to be and the server donst have enough room for us

[Archived Post]

Map is full is some BS, been disconnected from this so many times.

Either its full and you get booted, or you get in and the server stops responding.

[Archived Post]

Lol
The thing is when i try to warp somewhere, and after my ship flies away, the game shows a window in which server will i go, but like in sec, game selecting server for me, and i get this "full map" thing. It is bug, and whats the point in beta if i can't even play to see any problems except little memory of servers?

If you can't stand the reality of an open beta, do not enter it. That you paid (which you didn't but alas) or not is irrelevant, it clearly noted this is open beta which very clearly means it is going to be buggy, it is going to disconnect, it is going to do wierd things and yes it can even (though highly unlikely) destroy the data on your pc.

This is the first day of the stress test, so it is supposed to be the worst. If it is still disconnecting this much on january 20th, then one might start considering cancelling preorders

[Archived Post]

ITs only 5 hours into the first day of open beta, give Cryptic a break, it is BETA, not release. THis is the time to find these issues before release.

But also getting MAp is full eroor from the Character Creator

[Archived Post]

and then threw me out?

same thing when entering sector space it says map full im stuck at wolf 359

[Archived Post]

part that makes me mad the most is that it boots you back to the log in screen with the server lag right now you could easily get back in if you didnt have to communicat with the server every time to find your character

[Archived Post]

I have this too

[Archived Post]

One major issue with this problem is that any skill point changes you make prior to trying to head to the next map (which is full, and you get dumped out of the game) are lost, for whatever reason. (The points themselves are not though, thankfully).

Makes me worry that other possible crashes - including those that could well survive into the release client (because the client could crash from a user's computer throwing up its own errors, etc) - that could/would happen at the same point would also result in these points being dropped. That would be a pretty large issue is so. Ideally, this information should be nailed down as soon as you hit the accept button - not at some later point where map changing can wipe it off.

[Archived Post]

Cryptic didn't have 50k users all trying to navigate the noob zone during CB.

[Archived Post]

there is no point in getting upset over it, i mean there is a massive amout of people trying to get in all at once,

way more then closed beta ever had, its day ONE of open beta this stuff happens alot

Open Beta is where a lot of the stress testing happens. It is unfortunate that the first main area hits everyone, but thats why they have the open beta stage. To find stress/load related bugs. They do need time to work it out.

we will not give cryptic a break.. based on active closed beta keys, and current pre-orders (all of wich grant open beta access), we should not be having these issues.. they should have fixed these issues in between closed and open.. and been prepared to handle the log-ins and play of enough players that HAVE ACCESS..

[Archived Post]

Perhaps if Cryptic let some of the CB folks roll a klingon to start with that would free up some valuable noob fed space.

[Archived Post]

same here, gets past CC to retrieve the maps, but maps are full....
I say patience, Artoo will be along shortly, and he'll release the ray shields.

Again you have to understand if you read the release notes. These things will happen am I happy about it no. I was in Closed Beta and things were better at the end. Now with the 3 to 5times more people that CB we will have these problems until Cryptic fixes the problem. I am just surprised after 8 pages that no one from Cryptic has responded to let people know whats up....

[Archived Post]

having same issue also..

[Archived Post]

I would rather be kicked to the character selection screen as opposed to being forced to log back in.

[Archived Post]

There's just too many people making new characters and/or playing the first few instances/zones of the tutorial, especially as it's now coming up on prime time on the east coast.

Just managed to get in after many attempts....dev's should add some kind of queue or something instead of being kickd back to login.

[Archived Post]

I would rather not be kicked at all, I would rather be able to log in. :(

[Archived Post]

Okay, I think the Dev's get it, a lot of people are having issues (including myself) right now. I think its to be expected though, I would like to see the Dev's open more servers up or let us chose which servers we can go into, but... that ain't gonna happen, not now during Open Beta at least.

So my advice to you is, stay cool, play something else for awhile and go back to STO after a half an hour to an hour and see if things are golden. I personally will see if I can't toy around with the Character system or check out STOked (forums for them are back up).

[Archived Post]

Cryptic's Answer to big issues is to stick its head in the sand and wait.

It is how they do CO and how they are doing STO, sad really.

As for "It's Just BETA" Please note Release Date.

They try but they never seem to be able to execute a plan, I do not know if is because there is No Plan, or they just do it badly, but Cryptic falls apart when stuff goes wrong.

[Archived Post]

ditto...same here

[Archived Post]

*shrugs* I got that error and just assumed it meant the server is full. I'm assuming there's only one server currently and they'll have more when it launches.

Yay, got in and beamed to the full map again.. weeeee..

[Archived Post]

*shrugs* I got that error and just assumed it meant the server is full. I'm assuming there's only one server currently and they'll have more when it launches.

It's possible they didn't conceive this many people would have preordered and under estimated the number of Servers they needed for Open Beta. This currently seems to be the case.

[Archived Post]

From what I've played so far it seems to be a fun game, but with these issues and Cryptic's response, I'm beginning to regret my pre-order. I would rather have a company that has some balls and is willing to admit that it goofed up and get on it as fast as they can than one that crawls back in its shell to wait things out. Its been six hours now since open beta and so far the only response from Cyptic that we've gotten is "we know there's a problem!"

Honestly, with a game that only has ONE server this should not be an issue. Your maps should be designed to accommodate an unlimited number of players.

[Archived Post]

Dito same problem.

Gues its all part of a Beta version of a game !!

Lets hope that they solve this problem by the 2nd of February :o

[Archived Post]

Here is what I know. i made a character. Named him Gorilla. He is sort of a biker Andorian. Got logged in started the tutorial and saw something about Borg, but then I realized there was no sound. So I exited, unplugged my m-audio fast track, and logged back in. Next thing I know it says the server is full.

So the problem seems pretty obvious to me. The Borg have assimilated the servers. ;)

Okay, lets clarify for the millionth time, there is more than one server, you can move between servers in game as you please. The system should be exactly like Champions Online from what I'm hearing from Cryptic. Each server can usually hold a max of 100 people per server, or at least it did for Champions. I saw at least 5 servers, but it went by in a blink of an eye, so I could not really see how many people were on each server or how many servers were set up.

[Archived Post]

I'm getting the same error...

Edit: Different error this time around... it just threw me out without giving me the "map is full" error but I am now stuck at "Connecting to the login server..."

Also, comments about how this is a "stupid bug" and that it "should not be happening" are frankly ridiculous. It's a beta. Did Cryptic intend for this to happen? Of course not. Does this (or something very like it) and a collection of other obvious launch errors errupt throughout the open beta phase of every MMO? Of course they do. We're stress testing the game now so that Cryptic can fix these "stupid bug(s)" before the game hits the shelves.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Archived Post]

Same here. This is Cryptic's version of the server is full and you get to sit in a queue from WOW. I am sure as soon as people exit the tutorial, it will sort itself out, but with the shard system Cryptic uses this shouldn't really be happening.

[Archived Post]

Gosh I'm glad this is a PG rated forums, so I don't have to tell people like you and Angrymouse (for example) what I think of your attitude. Its first day of Open Beta, of course things are going to go wrong.

*logs off the forums*

[Archived Post]

rawr nerd rage, devs suck, bugs shouldn't be happening, blah blah blah

I'm guessing all the whiners have never been a beta tester before. What did you expect? You are being allowed to participate in the final testing stages before game release. They need to know what kind of things that need to be fixed before live launch. The game isn't completely finished. Stress test means just that. They need to know how much the servers can take before it crashes, make adjustments and try again. This is their period to find what's wrong with the game, what they overlooked, listen to the feed back from players on how it could be better so that they can release a quality game experience next month. You are not playing the game. You are a guinea pig to assist in fine tuning the game. Grow up and deal with it.

That being said, yes I am receiving the same errors. First attempt at character creation the game got stuck on the loading maps page and I had to exit out because it froze up. The first character I created did not save. Frustrating yes because it took me a couple hours to get the character set up how I wanted, but meh, it happens. I made a second attempt and got the maps are full error and was booted to the login screen. I am happy to see that my second character creation attempt did indeed save so I don't have to redo it a third time, but I have yet to actually be able to log into the game yet and it's been doing this for around 3 hours or so. My husband managed to get into the tutorial and was booted about halfway through with a server crash.

I finally made it into the tutorial, and as soon as I tried to beam to the other ship I got booted with the map is full error again.

[Archived Post]

I've waited this long..it isn't going to kill me to wait until it's fixed. Wake me when it's launch day :D

[Archived Post]

This is exactly why there needs to be multiple servers, this is only the open beta , imagine the load there will be on the game release.

[Archived Post]

There ARE multiple servers, just all running in tandem to create one GIANT server, from my understanding.

You have no idea how much I agree with that statement, that it scares me.

I mean, ITS THE FIRST DAY OF OPEN BETA, for WoW it was the same thing, for STW same thing, For EQ1 and EQ2 guess what... SAME THING!!! My point is, for as long as there have been MMO's there have been Open Beta, and for as long as there has been Open Beta, there was always that first week of beta pains.

My advice to everyone is simply this: Suck it up, seriously, bare with it for awhile, because we're doing a great service to Cryptic by letting them know about even small problems like overloaded servers. That way, there won't be problems like this latter on. (Not including the first month of Launch... cause that will feel like the first few days of Open Beta too, so prep for that as well.)

It's beta, its beta, it's beta. I love this battlecry of the ever faithful. You only have another few weeks to utilize that excuse.

Open beta = Stress Testing servers. That just means that so far Cryptic is failing their stress test. No big deal. I'm sure in a week or 2 the OB people will be able to actually access the game. Unfortunately a couple days later, the release will happen and the influx of even more people will stress the servers even more. According to the CB posters this happens every time an influx of people occurs.

What battlecry will people use on Release Day?

"Its day one, there's bound to be problems, relax people"

6 months on

"Its only been out for 6 months people, relax"

There will always be people defending, and people griping.

I personally only look at how fast the game developers respond to problems, the contingency plans they have in place, and the rate and depth at which they communicate these plans to their potential customer base.

This will be STO first Epic thread.... keep it coming boys.

This is exactly why there needs to be multiple servers, this is only the open beta , imagine the load there will be on the game release.

Haven't you been reading? There *are* multiple servers but they are not set up like traditional mmo's do with naming the servers and being restricted to the server you choose. These have no names, and you get assigned to the instance of the server that has room, but you are not restricted to just one. When you are grouped with people you get to go to the instance that that group member is in so you don't get seperated. Just because you don't see a physical name tied to the server list doesn't mean there is only one. The problem lies in thousands of people trying to log in at the same time. All 'instances' are full and keep filling.

All of the issues are seeing are well documented and being updated constantly on the Known Issues thread.

The map is full issue is a downright bug. We're fixing it in the next patch.

ZOMGS Thank you! And by any chance, would you be able to tell me why I get to the Welcom Elevator, see a room, and the program crashes and sits there frozen by any chance?

Is "Couldn't transfer character" related?

Not sure if this is the same bug, but I get disconnected everytime I try to fly anywhere on the system map. Like anywhere. 6 times now.

Such is life. Guess it is time to upgrade the servers :)

[Archived Post]

Good to know you guys are on top of things! Any ETA on when the patch will be? I realize nothing is certain but ...

[Archived Post]

im confused you all do know that this is beta testing and that this is the reason we are here to test for problems with the game this is not release if you dont like it come back on launch day...constructive criticism is fine but to say your going to get your money back over a beta or that they should have for seen this and this should not happen during beta is ignorant so on that not e sure post bugs but do not tell us how your going to go get your money back if they dont fix it

[Archived Post]

well, i am personally just going to wait until they patch it until i even bother trying since everytime i get disconnected, its like a 5min wait to see my character and then another 5mins or so for the map list to load. lol

[Archived Post]

map is full thrown out contstantly :confused:

[Archived Post]

yeh, same issue here, so i will wait until the patch comes out.

[Archived Post]

I have had this problem all day. Every time I get a load screen I get disconnected.

I'm confused how you Beta test a game without being able to play it?

[Archived Post]

The post above is exactly right.

All of the posts saying "it's a beta test, what do you expect?" "it's not ready" "you obviously never have beta tested anything before" blah blah blah blah blah

so that's the excuse for not being able to PLAY the damn game? at all?

Sorry, but we're about three weeks away from launch and this thing was in closed beta tests for a few months. I want my money back. and yes, I've never beta tested anything before, and it looks like I won't be play testing this game.....because IT WON'T LET ME LOG IN TO PLAY TEST IT!!!

[Archived Post]

Your testing the game by trying to play and stress testing the servers and instances. You should be submitting bug reports so cryptic can get a solid handle on how often the problem is occuring. If you have never been in a beta before this is how it works, especially on the first day of the open beta of a massivley anticipated game like STO.

So just deal with the problems or wait a few days for the initial rush and stress on the front end of the game to die down as cryptic makes adjustments and people filter through the game so that every one is not trying to log into the same instance at the same time.

[Archived Post]

By no means am i complaing, just adding myself to the list of stuck at loading map/not excepting full.
Has been over a hour now, I got kicked leaving a mission and ever since i cant log into the game.

Hope it helps, bug filed once i get in game

game rocks though

[Archived Post]

Ok I'm giving this up for now... trying to log in ~10 times just to play for 3 minutes and getting Disconnected and generally not being able to use the Sol map or the travel map just doesn't do it for me right now xD
Hope you fix this soon...

[Archived Post]

I hope it wont be days until this issue is fixed, as I wouldnt like to have my character stuck until then :-/

Okay. And when will this patch take place?

[Archived Post]

yep cant load map error...sigh i hope they make a Post and Say... HOW MANY PPL tried to login and broke it. would be interesting to see their forcast compared to what did log in.

[Archived Post]

Personally I am not upset, I would like to be playing right now, but I understand they are stress testing.
However, not being able to play at all is frustrating for people that payed money to play this game as I did. I am patient, and love the game so far so I am willing to wait. But Cryptic must be aware that other people are not as patient as I am. It’s been two hours since I got booted for the map error, and I have been unable to log on since.

If Cryptic was wise they would at least let us know how long we should expect to wait, even just a heads up would be nice. A lot of us could be doing other things then trying to log in every ten minutes. It just makes a bad situation worse. If you can, try to give us some sort of time frame.

Beta or not, if the game launches like this, it will be a disaster. Fortunately, they have a couple of weeks to figure out and hopefully be able to fix it. Not being able to load zones, maps, whatever you call it is a pretty big deal for an MMO.

Hopefully they won't make the same mistake **** did @ launch

[Archived Post]

Wow can't believe all the people defending Cryptic.

Yes it is the first day of beta.
Yes it is beta.
Yes Crytpic should have anticipated the demand, based on preoders etc.
Yes people will grind their teeth and deal with it in beta, but people will not put up with it at launch.

[Archived Post]

lol. I got in for like 45 seconds in the sector map. Tried to move to my next mission....

Boot. Disconnected.

Tried to rel-og.

"Map cannot load as map is full."


KAHHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!

[Archived Post]

nevermind ....

[Archived Post]

As of yet the only mistake I have seen is not defining that Beta is our chance to help them improve the game and troubleshoot bugs before launch. Our reward is a chance to play the game at no initial cost during this final phase of development. If you are concerned about a polished final product wait for the early launch or final launch on 2/2 when you are actually paying for it.. All bugs aside I am glad to have the chance to play it at all as I find the game itself to be incredible when it is working.
