    I rarely ever have issues with Dcing. It's been happening for last 30 minutes now off and on. Friend of mine @Baelo, has been dealing with it for nearly 45 minutes.

    Change out the hamster with a fresh one please!

    Five minute load, game client crash. Retrieving characters takes forever. *siiiigh*

    But it only seems to be in Mill City

    Everyone else I know seems to be fine except when in the city

    Well looks like no Champions tonight long load times, disconnects and the crashing to desktop. Hopefully someone will notice this and will get a fix out asap.

    I don't know what's happening to bring about these horrible disconnects tonight, but I've just gotten hit with two in a row. What's more annoying is the 2-3 minutes of loading back into MC with zone still on. This is what I get for not turning it off BEFORE I leave the theatre.

    If you are in Mill city try getting out of there. It's like the instances are over loading and not making new ones.

    Sadly, another victim here. And I logged over to another character to switch something and logged back...I wasnt in westside anymore but infront of the PH. Like wtf.

    its not limited to Mill city...just logged into a character that was in Canada...and disconnected like 15 seconds into getting ready to fight some Hunter Patriots...

    Wow... with everything going wrong with CO lately, from the disconnects and the screwing up subscription payments, you're starting to make a compelling argument for your players to play DCUO or Marvel Heroes and not spend another penny on anything made/handled by PWE. If it was still around, there would most likely be a mad increase of subscriptions to City of Heroes. One thing that Sony, Gazillion and Paragon Studios have in common and doesn't have in common with PWE? The other three companies actually want (or wanted in the case of Paragon Studios) the player's money for their superhero games.

    I think, I know what happened...we were getting flooded with new people who were interested in our game after playing Neverwinter and our server went nuts holy crap we have too many new people.

    After all at the end of the tutorial where are all the new characters dumped...Mill City...lets go back to the "Beta" method of intro to the game after the Tutorial Mill City Crisis you get the "key to the city" presentation then you get a choice of three leveling path locations...Canadian Crisis, Desert Crisis, or head into West Side...it worked before so why not let us do it again...

    About three times in as many minutes.

    I mean, if it takes me 30 secs to get back in, I'm back out 30 secs later. Wasn't doing anything important - just putting my extras onto the AH, but I am seriously feeling the... :mad: GRRRRRR!

    One more shot and I'm done for tonight. I repeat - GRRRRRRR! :mad:

    Experiencing the same exact thing. Thought it may have been my steam client that updated. But i updated it relaunched it and experiencing the same thing. I log in pick my character then a long load time. Then after about a minute or two after the long load into the city i get a server not responding then kicked to the log in screen to start all over again. I do hope they are aware of the problem and are fixing it. :mad:

    Edited to add:

    Now i can't even get logged into the game from the character screen a quick fix would be really nice.

    Anyone having server problems today? I got into the game, then my character became unable to affect the environment around her and her powers in general ceased to work. She died and could not recover (just lay on the ground). Restarting the game did not help. Even loading the forums seems slow. The rest of my Internet is working fine.

    Cryptic needs to alter the instance formation maths again too many people trying to get in for some reason it all happened when instance 5 appeared then died and took zone 4 with it.

    Game is lagging like hell just now :<

    That would be nice, but the Crisis versions got tweaked to be level 12-15... dumping a level 5/6 there now would turn MORE players off unless they tweaked it back down to levels 6-10. The thing is, these disconnects were happening to people with characters in other zones as well... the only zones that tended to stay stable and not drop you were, surprisingly, the social instances (Caprice, Social Carl's Gym, Social WCOC, Hideouts, etc)... not completely, but better than the outside zones.

    I can't promise you that it's fixed but it seems to have been fixed for me, to the least :tongue: Been in Millenium City 4 for the last hour, doing quests for Alicia Blackburn/WitchCraft and didn't crash a single time :biggrin: This makes me very happy C:

    The inconsistency of this bug almost leads me to believe that the server might be choking from hundreds of damage signals compressed into a second.

    It's growing in popularity extremely quickly, mostly because of how easy it is to do.

    I wouldn't be surprised. This -is- an old bug though.. I recall MC instances kicking people out like this occurring from years back.

    Yeah, the game is currently stable for all of three seconds or so. Of course, with the less-than-subpar track record of handling latency CO has, a slight instability in the server connection may be all the explanation that takes.

    people also can't get into Nevermind, or star trek. Someone posted inability to get onto any cryptic game


    Nevermind however has a long list of things to check on their STICKIED thread.

    I got kicked while in an alert. okay it was a mil city alert but it was an alert, when I tried getting back in , i when the problems hit

    The problem seems to have returned today, the MC zones are crashing making everyone DC. After logging back in it takes a while to load (probably the server creating a new instance of MC) and when trying to change zones the first few minutes the game says there are no other map available.

    Seems strange that no one from Cryptic is saying anything on the Supper News Network. Seems important enough for some kind of message there.
