ERROR: Operation has timed out.

[Shyrah]

<p>Immediately after trying to log into game I get this. How does one "time out" in less than a second?</p><p>I have been palying for about 3-4 weeks now and this seems to be the norm. What gives?</p>

<p>+1 also getting this error.   Was switching characters and got an error.   Now I get the Operation Timed Out error when trying to logon.</p>

<p>I am getting this error right now too =(</p>

[JoarAddam]

<p>I am also getting a timeout this morning, takes 10 sec or so.</p>

<p>Yep, can't log in at all -- after typing username and password i just get operation timed out.</p>

<p>Same issue. Googling it reveals that it appears to be an authentication server problem that has happened a couple times over the last few years. Was timing out in a second or two.</p><p>My error has now changed to "Processing Login" for a very long time which then becomes "Network error. The server is not responding, please check your connections and try again."</p><p>Obviously it's on SOE's end, not ours, so we'll just have to wait for the fix.</p>

<p>I was able to log-in using Station Launcher but not the Launch Pad.  Give that a try. </p>

<p>KNOCK KNOCK...... anyone there?  Sony you have a problem with the Log in servers again.  Please check things out.</p>

<p>I'm now in as well, though I did use Station Launcher. And in all fairness, the Battlestar Galactica finale WAS pretty good... <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Happy gaming all. Thanks for the Station Launcher suggestion.</p>

<p>Yep login server is foobar. I'm sure they aren't replying because they are too busy dropping bricks lol</p>

[Shyrah]
