turn your graphic setting down that will make it load faster

I agree, that's what I did when I had this problem.

try a defrag.

stupid as it may sound, it actually does help loading times. something we learned in closed beta and the klingon loading screen of death was rampant..

oh, how i miss that loading screen @_@

Just ran a speed test on my connection via 3 different sites to different servers on the west coast and here is what I got..

Avg ping 63 to 90
Avg download 8 mbs to 11 mbs
avg upload 1 to 1.45 mbs


I'll try turning my settings down some if that doesn't help I'll do a defrag

I think if you turn world detail and world distance these are the main culprits but dont quote me on that

Good luck mate

The STO server cluster is hosted on the East Coast, possibly up near the Boston area. You might try checking speeds to that end of the US.

I still suggest posting about the issue in the technical forum.

Checked my speed on the east coast and they were better then the west..

My system could use a defrag so im doing that now.

You also may be hitting some weird routing to their servers and its getting hung up some place. But, based on what you said, I think turning down graphics will fix it. You may want to post a full spec list on the tech forums to see if there is something in your setup that STO doesn't play well with. Would hate for you to miss out on any of the graphics in game.
