SInce today (patch day) I am experiencing annoying respawn crashes. First time it hpapened was just after patch release, trying to redeploy to the VR training room from the battlefield of the VR area. The screen froze, but the sound went on. Image never to recover After that, I played for several hours without problem. Now, since the very recent server crash (Woodman, around 0.00 GMT+1) it started happening again. But now also with regular respawning. The game went on, since I could still hear my squadmates on the voice channel. But the image freezes. Right after clicking 'deploy' or 'redeploy' on the map screen. Either choosing a spawnpoint, or pressing the redeploy button prior to choosing a spawnpoint) Very annoying. Anyone else having this experince, and/or have a fix for it?
just posted a thread a moment after asking wether i was the only one, good to know its not just me put a legit problem
Here too....Briggs Server. Have had 3 re-spawn crashes today in 4 hours playing after U4 - frickin annoying! I reckon this prob is actually widespread...just haven't had enough respondents in the forum to it yet. I bet the CrashZerg is gonna be in full swing by end of the weekend. Please fix ASAP SOE....
[POSSIBLE WORKAROUND] This happened to me only when I re-spawn at the VR center. It would happen ever other time I spawn. I found out if I choose different class before I spawn I never ran into this issue yet.
My crashes were all at various map re-spawn locations into Sunderers - like click on Sunderer at bridge near The Crown and hit deploy and screen and sound all freeze - have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get Task Manager up and kill PS2. So no, not like the VR ones you are experiencing.
The crashes happened in multple regions of the game, for me. Not only in VR. VR was just the first place it was experienced. Thought I have to say that it seems to happen less when the area you want to deploy to has already been visited in the current log-in. Seems the game cant handle redeploying to unloaded areas
-start game -on warpgate -hit del to redeploy -select destination.... click -loading screen or not then frezee it happened to me 3 times in a row the fourth time it worked fine
Also had a crash tonight, first since they fixed the hex crash exploit. Mine was also when respawning, loading bar went to 100% then the game just sat there apparently doing nothing. I5-3570K 660 2GB 8GB DDR3 W7 64 etc
Mine dies immediately after the loading screen so I end up looking at the location I'm spawning into. Left it sitting like that for half an hour and nothing happened, windows didn't even try to kill it even though it was nonresponsive. Interesting fact is that I always get a double loading screen whenever it doesn't crash, always crashes after a single loading screen.
happens to me too it is a case of >respawn in any location >loading screen finishes >freezes for eternity on screen after i have no idea if this is related to your problems but i felt i needed to address it (unlike your problem it happens EVERY time)
I have this problem as NC,seams to happen regularly after a short time of playing i try to re spawn and after loading screen it goes black (except for hud which also freezes) sound also cuts out.
Same problem, happens with all my characters on Helios and Briggs hasn't happened in VR yet... will try the workaround, just to clarify should we change class or just select a different one then back to the original one you wanted to spawn with?
Thanks for the reports guys. This is currently a known issue and is being investigated as we speak. I will keep you posted.
