game freezes on redeploy

I'm also experiencing this, since yesterday's patch.

I tried the fix and I was only able to get normal gameplay for like an hour before the game crashes when I use the teleporter at Bio Labs.

For Nvidia make sure you have the newest update. In game try setting everything to med. Turn on physx and v-sync.
If physx setting is greyed out like this and your running a gpu that supports physx then do a clean install of all nvidia software.
Also make sure that your on board gpu is disabled.

Likewise, Since the patch my Planetside 2 stops working sometimes when i redeploy.Why the hell did they pick the weekends to patch? -.-" Couldn't they have done it on weekdays?

Bump.

This is a gamebreaker.

This needs to be sorted out ricky-tick.


Seriously, if players have to use the taskmanager to kill the frozen game half the time they try to respawn or redeploy, you (SOE) will lose players and therefore money.
Getting killed is part of a multiplayer - having the game freeze when you try to respawn is infuriating and unacceptable.


Solving this particular problem really should be a priortiy.

I got this going through a teleporter twice today. Also getting shot behind cover more than usual. before todays balance patch (23rd) I could play for about an hour and then desync (from GU04s Hotfix), now it seems closer to 15-30mins.

I had also been having this, since last week's major update. Crash on about 20% of (re)deploys. Either before or after hitting the new spawn point 'deploy button'. Almost always when redeploying to a region not priorly visitid in the current login. Does not seem to happen when I scout the area first. but then, why the hell would I redeploy...

edit: the percentage is climbing rapidly, since I now crashed 3 times in a row, while trying to test out the new VS launcher. 30 mins is mighty short when you crash every 2 minutes....bs

Happened to me the first time just now. I died, and after selecting the spawn point the game just froze.
Had to shut it down through task manager.

this issue exploded when they revamped the redeploy map i cant help think thats where the issue is seriously SOE this needs to be the next hotfix please....not freezing randomly ever 5 to 60 min is not to much to ask for a top priority right now

Getting it so much i'll give this game a rest for a few weeks. Can't be bothered to restart every ten minutes. Only happens after latest update, btw. Thought i had it fixed, when enabling PhysX, it stopped for a littlle bit. Then returned.

See you in the spring....

I was able to play for 1 hour and a half with no freezing on Esamir (no pun intended)

only time i get an hour is when it lets get involved in something intresting then freezes at th worst possible time

Seems like the 23 Mar patch improved the issue a little for me but the game still freezes on deployment. When I tried deploying through a spawn beacon, the screen freezes. I got 2 hours of gameplay prior to that this time around.

Still happening. Even more frequently now. If I die outside friendly regions I pretty much have to resign myself to having to restart the client, because it WILL crash if I try respawning. Intel Core Duo here, Win7, HD 6670.

I also notice that it happens less if I die in an empty region and respawn in another empty region, or if I respawn in a region where I had just been earlier. Maybe it has something to do with the loading/caching of [new] game objects/players when spawning in another map?

Seriously SOE, stop giving us broken guns, just ******* fix **** like this. Whats so hard about focusing on ONE GOD DAMN ******* THING AT A TIME?!

All we bloody want is a game we can actually play without crashing every single time we die. All we want is a game that most people can play without having to worry about constant lag or freezing. Instead you give us more **** to buy. Put your damn money to good use for once will you?

Hello? Anybody home?

Freezing and restarting since 'GU04

I'm getting this a lot, too. I think it's happened something like 6 times today in as many hours of gameplay.

Always freezes at a loading screen, usually on redeploy or instant action.

Bump.

This might actually be one of the worst technical problems since release, as it has a massively negative impact on the game-experience.

Dear SOE, we're counting on you to prioritise THIS issue.

And when all seemed fixed, another hotfix to screw me again.... c'mon SOE, wth!!!
It's more than evident that your QA team is smoking a lot of the sheeba these last months....

Now every-time i try to redeploy, or even change continents, i get screwed. luckily I've "hammered" Win7 registry to kill any task that does not respond after 10s. so i don't have to manually kill the task.

but this is infuriating me to the point of canceling the subscription.
Having fun with your outfit, and getting killed, just to re-spawn and boom. there you have it, restart the fracking game all over again... not to mention loosing stats for the current battle....

Just get your act straight one and for all...

Kind regards,

A infuriated subscriber....

PS: thanks for the physx, but i could manage very well without them, just for the sake of being able to have a steady playing experience.

I still have this problem it started I think two patches ago and also the game will lock when I am trying to exit the game.
