Freeze Ups Are Worse Than before

sudnd3th · July 2015

Well since i've tried PvP you guys have gotten rid of one intermittent screen freeze and made a worse one. Now if your screen freezes it locks up completely and its automatically an exit game and reload. Come on.

alche31 · July 2015

PvP PvE it's pretty bad anywhere. It happened to me a lot when casting hallowed ground as cleric. I thought that was the problem but it seems it is not as the game has frozen on me on several times in a dungeon and I didn't cast anything.

shredboy1 · July 2015

I agree with PVP, never locked up for me before , now I'm lucky to get through a match without a DC.. and I see a ton of my team mates DCing...

misterrrwarlock · July 2015

Yes: the permanent freeze issue happens to me and my friends all the time in PVP. We even get frozen at the same time. The game is completely broken...

dreampagehun · July 2015

Today I got a freeze too in a dungeon in the Well of Dragons. I was doing a daily quest with two other people in a group and all three of us froze. I had to quit and restart the game and log in and the other guys had to do the same. Luckily we could finish the quest but it was really frustrating.

Happening repeatedly in the well of dragons mini quests. Sometimes you die, if you quit the game fast enough though you survive. Figures. lack of playtesting.

daknucklez · July 2015

ive been trying to do the mini quest for today and it freezes in the same place everytime,since this last update the freezing has been worst than ever before,just bad coding

browntj007 · July 2015

Thayan magical shelter - 3rd anchor. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

daknucklez · July 2015

yeah,same here,im just turning the game off and not even play neverwinter till they start fix all these bugs or hiring better testers

mordjyn · July 2015

Same here. Seems to freeze after going down the first set of stairs on the inside. Each time required me to exit the game and reload. Reloaded about 5 times. I'm abandoning the mini quest as it is absolutely unplayable.

In PvP whatever freezes it sometimes it seemed it was me with hallowed ground or knights valor (depending on toon) and others just for whatever. And when it happens, it takes out one team but not the other, as like if you have all 3 blue, freeze, quit game, come back, they have all 3 red.... EIther that or they all crashed, then we all crashed, and so the who has all three changes hands as you leapfrog.

Seems like moving code from PC to One (if that's what they're doing) isn't working out well. Non PvP seems okay (6+ hours in CN for example), but idk if it's like that for everyone. Seems from what some are saying, it's various places for various activities.

mikeyflies · July 2015

For the third anchor the crash may be related to the red wizard conjurer to the right of the entrance at the bottom of the stairs. I froze twice there and the second time it was right when he was doing some attach/spell (I didn't see him the first time through). The next time I came through I froze him before he could do anything and there was no crash. This may not be related but if it helps there it is

twinstripeuk · July 2015

Is this mainly PvP, because this used to happen to me all the time and hasn't happened ONCE since the last update?

docstew75 · July 2015

It always happens in the same place in the infernal bindings quest.

cheesebeasty · July 2015

lock ups are horrible today and then if you leave and come back in your marked as a leaver and cant play PVP for a long time!

tisser202 · July 2015

The game is atrocious now, even trying to run simple dungeons like epic pirate king and inside thirty minutes I had already froze four times, which in turn forced me to pass on all end boss loot due to the lengthy restart process, and forget thinking you can wait for it to recover its a mandatory restart. Id rather deal with the constant kicking issues at least then with my gear score that was a non issue. So much GARBAGE thumbs down all the way

crushingforce · July 2015

Completely agree with OP these freezes are ridiculous pre patch when the game froze for me atleast it would close and need a restart, but now the freeze is just a permanent thing and happens so much more often and being a warlock which used to cause freezes so often now its worse, using a daily in a dungeon has an 80% chance of freezing which is HAMSTER and in pvp if I use Gates of Hell as its effective theres a 70% chance of me freezing the opposing teams game with it which is HAMSTER, I choose not to use it just because it feels cheap winning games when the other team literally isn't even in the game. I don't understand why this happens and I don't pretend to know why but if using a daily means the game will freeze whats the point in even having a daily equipped?

mordjyn · July 2015

This game is mostly unplayable now. Quests and dungeons freeze and require reboot. Only thing that seems to work is Zerg rushing the dragons on the :45

SW OP in PVP now?

marv1001 · July 2015

Pirate King has always been bad but since the update it is unplayable. I have to be really careful not to use my Oppressive Force as well as that is an instant disconnect for the team.

Every time I cast HG it freezes PVP.

yetweallfalldown · July 2015

Hey there,

Appreciate the feedback. Is this primarily during PvP? Or dungeons? I know that the patch fixed the hitch that I got while playing and doing general quests around the different regions. I just want to see if we can pinpoint the problem so that we can get someone to look into it.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for additional feedback.

sudnd3th · July 2015

easiest way to recreate it is pvp and on the Rivenscar Ruins map, cast hallowed ground there's a good chance to cause everyone on the map to freeze up. I know a lot of clerics atm who take advantage of that skill in a premade team if they are losing.

It is happening elsewhere in the world but that right there is the easiest way to get garenteed results on freezing up the game for everyone.

valaniille · July 2015

Same here...

trystanwolf · July 2015

It was freezing at the first boss in Epic Frozen heart. After the fourth freeze my group called it quits. 3 of us were in xbox party chat and were doing different things at the moment of freezing. We think it might have been a spawn causing it to crash or something the GWF or Cleric was doing.

bluedood · July 2015

My group has stopped running Frozen Heart because of the freeze problem. Fwiw only started a few days ago, first and second boss everyone would freeze multiple times and need to manually go to dashboard and close NW. To make things less pleasant, we would return dead with a two or three injury kit injury.

Pirate King is fun, but the expectation is there that you will dc at least twice during a run, Frozen Heart had become a similar fast run for us without the crashes...please address the issue.

awrex1977 · July 2015

Freezes have gotten markedly worse, PVE, pretty much everywhere since the last update.

Loud clicking multi second freezes.

On top of that, last night around 7:30 - 8:00 central time, game became completely unplayable... Started in WoD, same thing in PE & Whispering Caverns. Missed out on several Heroic Encounter rewards...

"Server not responding" in red text at top of screen constantly.

Hard restarted XBox multiple times, did not fix.

Character models took a very long time to load on log in screen. Would get the yellow/gold spinning load circle where characters typically show up.

Zone Character was in would load before Character image.

Character would eventually load, without armor on.

Armor would eventually load.

Enter game, "Server not responding"

Would occasionally get "disconnected for game server" when trying to load (after hitting "PLAY")

Would occasionally get "loading maps" after selecting character.

Rubber banding was the worst it has ever been during the very rare times I could actually move.

Mount would not summon majority of the time - the graphic for the mount would work, and it would make it's noise, but mount would not appear. (For example - Smoke and roar for the leopard, leopard would not appear).

Not isolated to just me.

This has never been an issue (for me at least), until last night, started 10-11 hours ago. I got fed up with it and went to bed after trying to fix the issue for about 2 hours. I have not tried to log in today to see if the problem has been resolved.

yetweallfalldown · July 2015

Thanks for the additional information! We're looking into this.

boidster · July 2015

Last night PvE in The Chasm it was taking several seconds for NPC skins to paint. They were just white ghostly apparitions until the textures popped into place. Draw distance seemed to have an effect. That is, if I moved towards a ghost, he/she/it would paint before any farther-back NPCs would. No freezes, but my teammate got DCd when transitioning between maps (small dungeon back to main map). We just expect a DC for one or both of us during transitions now, and about 1/hour at all times no matter what we're doing. Both NATs are open and net stats are clean for both of us.

l1yev · July 2015

I had the sky in the enclave not load for me at all last night, it was just black, I did see some seagulls though, the background buildings were just yellow, it looked pretty cool.

Epic shores and epic lostmouth today have been constantly kicking myself and random teammates out of the game and back into protectors enclave and once there you can't return to instance or leave group you have to ask to get kicked to get out of the group.

As for frozen heart a group and i we seem to have isolated the nasty nasty group freezes..... None of us used any dailies or any of the new artifacts, and we did fine, I kind of suggest the same now for all the other skirmmishes and dungeons now that are all starting to glitch out.

I killed the Dragon in epic lostmouth with a group, the instant it died 3 of us got booted to the enclave no freaking rewards or drops for us..... Totally not fair or cool.

spyd3r85 · July 2015

It seems atm that among other things, simply initiating a vote to kick in a dungeon results in the instance crashing and all players having to re-log in. The instance is completely gone as there is not even a return to instance button available.

As much as I hate to say it, this might just be an improvement over the previous vtk system lol. at least the loot and booters don't get anything either haha. = ) I know that was not needed but hey, I couldn't resists.

Oh btw this seems to be a new issue as of today. I've not run into it before.

Freeze Ups Are Worse Than before
