Can't you just put the cinematic in tonight? It would make things go better.. Considering the update info was posted last week....

Storyline over no more snow!

I think it happened to who was ingame when the server was rebooted. I was in game, got kicked for that and then couldn't login back after reboot, and it's 2 hours about now i cannot login!

so??? devs???

#34800000676 01/19/2006 14:55:28 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Yeah, right. Have you bumped your collective heads? You know good and God **bleep** well that they aren't saying anything about it, let alone answer questions specific to your account. Trust me, I feel your pain, but you ask too much of them.

Wait, wait... weren't we talking about dark(er) nights? Somehow I don't see much difference. Were they darker during holiday? Have I just got used to them? Well, maybe they are a little darker, although I'm not sure. SMILEY

The other or the other way, the "darker" nights rock (and aren't as dark as I was afraid, lol), so I guess I'll have to take back my complaints. They were ... unjustified ... irrelevant ... quite pointless.

But yea, I'd still like to see some variation like brighter nights (maybe once, twice a "week" SMILEY and darker ones and also some weather variation during night (as I pointed out in the Development Roundtable board).

Variation and contrast is everything SMILEY

I haven't touched the new missions yet, but it sound great to me that they now appear in time intervals. It has certain ... disadvantages about it, but it makes much more sense and also creates a bigger tension about what happens next. And the drop rate is something I can only agree with anyway. To summarize it, a great update!

since the update 40 this morning I have crashed about 4 times without any cause.. just doing normal things like farming and fighting.. this is a similar problem that occurred durring one of the updates a while ago... has anyone else had a crashing problem?

#34800000685 01/21/2006 03:39:11 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Yea i've crashed about 4 times since the latest patch

#34800000686 01/21/2006 04:11:18 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

6 times now both of those I was doing nothing but standing

#34800000687 01/21/2006 04:23:38 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

7 times............

#34800000688 01/21/2006 05:11:45 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Crashed 5 times. Each time in a free attack.

#34800000689 01/21/2006 08:44:51 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

It looks like they may have re-introduced the muzzle flash bug!

Come on guys - this is just poor testing of your patches. I have also crashed 6 times - one running the critical missions for machines and three times now running box 4 on Syntax.

#34800000690 01/21/2006 10:15:47 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Congratulations Dev,

again u applied the free of charge "Enhanced Game Crash" feature.

10 chrashes in 3 hours.
Could it be u dont test your patches before u release them ?
I have the feeling "Dumb players can do the test".
And if u get alot of reports u decide to fix it.
That is what it looks like.

I never ever saw that much errors in Game- or Softwareupdates or patches like in this game.

I wonder.

Do less whining and moaning and pointing fingers, and do more /ccr reports about it. This way, they'll know of your problem, and fix it.

#34800000692 01/22/2006 08:43:02 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

I've only crashed one single time after the last patch, and that wasn't the first time (i.e. patch hasn't caused it).

So yea, stop whining and accusing the Devs how bad they are, and get a new internet connection (or at least write /ccr reports.

That's all.

kids,

what do you think, how much /ccr`s that people need to fix the crashes ?

thousands ? a million ? one /ccr should be enough.

and hun, it is the patch, u know why ?

I dont changed my system. Not one bit.

All I can say is that I (and a few others I know in-game) haven't crashed so it's appearently not a global issue. Well, I've crashed one time, as I said, but I already happened to crash before rarely, so pure logic tells me that it has nothing to do with the patch.

I dont changed my system. Not one bit.

Huh? What was that? There's a thing called "grammar", something we kids use to learn at school SMILEY

#34800000695 01/22/2006 14:34:01 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

the crashes seem to ocure more often while missioning or doing any kind of fighting... before the patch ive never crashes except everyonce in a while on my way into the LA I will crash but never just a normal crash.. if it was an internet problem the game client would not close immediatly it would stay open for a few minutes with everyone not moveing then it would give you a connection error and close the game... the crashes are pretty similar to the other crash problem we had onley not as intense as the last one...

on a side note, anyone notice the billboard right next to the HL in mara? whoever gets that baby gonna get some bussiness... lol rgey are prolly saving it for like EQ2 or something SMILEY

(just kidding sony)

#34800000696 01/22/2006 16:33:45 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

I have also been crashing several times a day after the patch, before the patch the game was running very smoothly for me. I usually crash when killing gangs farming frags, sometimes when doing box openings - I crashed once during a mission but I don't do a lot of missions. I once crashed just standing at an HL looking through the marketplace, I think either there are several bugs or just one random one doing a sweep now and again. Might be due to the new billboards when they change ads, I dunno.

Hope the devs reading this will take a look at it, it's annoying as hell.

P.S. zeroone50-whatever, don't criticize other people's grammer when you can't even spell 'appearently' (sic). Especially when you don't know which country they are from or anything about them.

Oops, that's apparently because I hit the wrong key...

The thing was, I absolutely haven't understood what he meant by that sentenct, but if you maybe look back at my post, you'll see a SMILEY

, also known as "smiley", which means that particular sentence wasn't actually meant so seriously.

P.S.: I'm from Germany myself so the argument about "what country they are from" was pretty superfluous (uhh, hope that was spelled correctly). What I really critisized was more the things he said and how he said them, like my predecessor did either.

Zero, hase

i dont care if u do critics about my english grammar.
But a "correction" would be very helpfull, so i can save time using a translator or doin another "English grammar" class.

und sinza ist weiblich, lol

yes i cool down, maybe i did a too aggressive post,
But for your understanding, before the patch i hadnt crashes. Maybe one a week, wich could be after i played all day and my computer hadnt a reboot for days, thats ok,

But yesterday night, i had crashes after each relog. I tried all districts, different Hardlines. And alltime after the green fades out, the client chrashed again.
the login procedure isnt that problem. The "Char is in use, according to a supervisor" thing makes me sad.
This needs 2-10 minutes to wait for a relog. Thats bad.
I made reboots, switched down system services i dont need, (normally the game works stable, having them activated).
Same for virus scan and firewall. Yes i used to bypass my router by connection the PC directly on the modem. No change. Maybe u see now why i am angry about that issue, cause there is (or i find) no reason for.
I used the "complete scan" in my launcher as well.

not to make the game bad. I love this game. Its awesome, thats why i am logged daily. Its the always afterpatch "crash" happening.

one of you guys wrote i should buy a new internet connection, lol
what about buy a new PC. or better move to oversea to near the Servers, would this solve my problems ?

#34800000699 01/23/2006 11:01:05 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

I can imagine how annoying it has to be. But as I said, I crashed only once after the patch and that wasn't even a big exception. But yea, if crap like that happened to you (and apparently to several others) you have the right to be furious about that SMILEY

If it's really because of the patch, I guess I was just terribly lucks to have avoided all the bugs.

And I wasn't really "critisizing" your grammar, I just haven't understood a particular sentence you had written, and your aggressiveness provocated me to make that comment SMILEY

The game has crashed more often than not since the update "official" update last friday. And as one of the previous posters said, it happens during combat, be it PVP or PVE.

When I've been on my alt on Syntax just coding or messing around at Mara C, it has yet to crash and I've put in over 15 hours on it since Friday. I haven't done any combat with my alt in that time period.

I've also put in about 10 hours on my main character on Vector during this time, in which all I do is PVP or help faction mates run missions. And I have crashed 10 times during that time, all during combat in missions, or PVP or opening Arc IV boxes. And I've submitted a CCR each time. From all the people that I chat with on Vector, they have all been experiencing crash problems during combat as well. So IMHO, there is an issue with the update.

#34800000702 01/24/2006 04:38:45 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

For the most part it's a good patch. My only problem with it is that Recall Team Member now doesn't work in Richland in addition to Int'l and Downtown. My girlfriend just bought the game yesterday and I was trying to recall her to a few of the most common hardlines in the city (Tab w, Mara c, etc.) and it doesn't work at all. Hopefully a hotfix will come soon. But again, good for the most part devs. :smileyhappy:

#34800000703 01/24/2006 07:02:12 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

- Recall Team Member not working in Richland (or downtown or international still)
(haven't tested recall team but I will today)

- Crashing in and out of combat. Mostly in free fire combat

The crashing seems to be a huge issue
with most people in and out of my faction.

Doing a box 4 last night with 10 people we
had around 8 crashes some people twice.

#34800000704 01/25/2006 06:39:59 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

yep i agree the crashing problem is back..............also is it me but on the loggon screen it noly shows update 39 not 40 does anyone else have this problem ??

#34800000705 01/25/2006 17:38:10 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

with the changes of the attributes and the discription in game on what each one does are they going to allow a reset to attributes. like ingame it says under preception that it helps martial art's and that is the main stat but now it has nothing to do with melee damage and belief / focus does.

#34800000706 01/26/2006 02:21:36 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Yeah crashing is back, and has brought a friend lol recall team member problems for instance (not sure if there are any other things playing up), shame these are really annoying, i personally wont be ingame alot untill these bugs are fixed.

since this update ive had nothing but bugs and crashes.....missions being bugged, doors being bugged, recall not working, hardlines dropping off maps, hyperjump not working at times and most annoyingly ive had uber lag.... just the other day i was missioning with one of the commandos... and he crashed!!!
There are alot of good things about the patch but for me its making the game almost unplayable....

well

a week is over and there is

1. no official statement about that issue

2. no official statement about that issue

and 3 and last no official statement about that issue

what u guys up to ?

what about my crashes ?

any solutions ?

to try solve the issues i did:

1. ccr this issue

2. i set up a new user account (no services running except the system related)

3. i "defraged ?!?!" my harddrives,

4. switched off all firewall and virus scan`s.

5. connected my pc directly to the router.

i figured out that the crashes happens more:

1. at late night (european time).

2. mostly on high frequented places (ex. mara, stratfort) and in box missions .

3. when i don`t except them.

4. when i have fun.

i wished that:

1. u guys say anything about that issue.

2. u guys provde a workaround

3. u guys say anything about that issue.

#34800000710 01/28/2006 21:59:24 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

i've been experiencing crashing since update 40 and up until tonight i had thought it hinged upon a certain number of mission npcs firing at me at once, but just now i crashed again during the last arc 3 pandora's box mission and i was only fighting two npcs, one of which was stunned and not firing at me. so either it can happen even with one npc firing at u or it has to do with something other than # of npcs firing at u.

#34800000711 01/29/2006 01:58:56 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Ok, crashed twice...

#34800000712 01/29/2006 17:23:17 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

I crashed once just watching two faction mates duel. I think I've been in combat every other time though.

#34800000713 01/30/2006 19:34:46 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

just crashed again, this time, not during a mission and not fighting npcs, but pvping at mara c. i hate crashing while pvping. :robotindifferent:

#34800000714 01/30/2006 20:29:41 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

oops forgot to mention this, i also have noticed crashing when alt-tabbing, (which i generally try to avoid so i don't know if this is already a known issue) but i alt-tab away from mxo, then try to open it back up and crashy crashy.

#34800000715 01/30/2006 20:44:22 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

I've been crashed when just running around and not doing any combat at all. I sure hope sony fixes this or I may cancel my account and never pay for their stuff again.

#34800000716 01/30/2006 23:27:17 Re: Update 40 Discussion Thread

Three times... OK, I guess I begin to... understand what everyone complains about.

Zero,

omg, u are going to be a true believer SMILEY

The crashes happens after 12am here in germany.

Mostly in missions (box3), PvP or high frequented Areas.

Its funny to have a crash, when u only use the chat.

stuporfluous,

I've had that problem a lot too. My solution was changing the game to where it was windowed, so I could switch between MxO and stuff like Yahoo messenger and whatnot as much as I wanted. Since then I've had far less crashes...... well, far less crashes pertaining to switching between MxO and other stuff.

well i for one am very dissapointed that noone seems to have acknowledged this... seems everybody is far too busy with CR2.0 to deal with current issues....the way i see it ... why should i be paying full price for something when i am not getting what i pay for... look at it like this.. its like going to a restaurant and getting a really nice meal.. you get half way through your meal and then the waiter comes up, steals your plate and your then expected to pay full price!?

Looking at it like that... would you pay full price???? Neither would i!
I understand that people are busy but look at the amount of people stating they have crashed... think about the number of crash reports you must have got! I ve actually lost count now. THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Personally i am more than fed up with this... why cant you even just put a little post up here saying.. yes we are aware of the problem, we made a mistake and we are attempting to fix it...
Is this a good point or am i just being an assh*le??
