    Also gotten stuck in the blue screen of death area. I can beam to my bridge, but can't get to the sector view. I can participate in PvE and PvP, but I always end up back at the blue screen area. Gonna try leaving my character on my bridge for a while.

    This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!

    I had this happen in Arucanis Arm last night, luckily I had a story mission waiting to be started in my active mission box, so I had the option to transwarp to the starting location, even if it did cost me 5000EC. If this happens again, I shall have to remember the Azura mission method to save me some money. Wonder what the chances of getting reimbursed for the credits spent? This is a relatively new character, and I've not had the chance to build up a vast EC fortune yet. XD

    I've had a similar problem, I assume it's related.

    Diplomatic Investigation, Arucanis(sp) Arm.

    Entered it, CTD on the loading screen with this error.

    Just now... Hromi Cluster... Explore System...

    It was like ending up in the OK Corral or looking for Gem..

    Funny thing though, my Female Toon was floating around in her underwear. :eek:

    UPDATE:

    Jumping to the Bridge (Temporal) didn't work for me.

    Had to Transwarp.

    Funny, cause diplomatic missions worked fine for me twice (volanis cluster). Then tried standard exploration and failed two times. Visiting the bridge worked for me.

    Yeah same for me. All the diplomatic missions seem to be fine, shame you can't get three of them at a time for one cluster haha.

    Also, visiting my bridge and then leaving it is how I've been getting out of these maps.

    the game has gone a bit crazy for me right now. Started seeing the game crash to desktop for exploration missions (multiple characters) and now I'm stuck in that blue void.... I will try the methods to escape, but it really sucks to not be able to do any exploration missions...

    Yeah... diplomatic investigation seems to be working fine... this just happened to me a few minutes ago on Betreka Nebula while doing "Explore Strange new worlds" First I did the Diplomatic investigation mission and it worked, but when i went to explore an unknown system, i got stuck on "Empty map # 1", just an endless blue void, there were another players, at least on the chat. Beam out, and transwarp buttons were grayed out, loggin out/ loggin in again didn't work. I joined on a fleet alert PvE Queue and i could get out

    Happened to me just now in a Diplomatic Investigation or another.

    Aborting the mission didn't work, I'll try transwarping I guess.

    I tried changing instances, that was greyed out. Logging out and back in didn't work, I tried that multiple times. I didn't try going to the bridge but, from the sound of things, that didn't always work.

    What worked for me was just accepting a story mission in the Sirius sector block and hitting the "Transwarp to mission start" button on the missions list. That got me back out into Sirius. It costs 100 credits, but that's the cheapest sector block to which you can transwarp using that method. I'm sure there are other methods, (I didn't read every post) but that's what worked for me. :cool:

    Now I'm afraid to do anything in the game for fear of getting stuck in the blue screen of nothingness, so I guess it's time to go watch a movie.

    Has it actually been fixed then? Or did you just get lucky. If it has then awesome, they could have told us though haha. I've just been avoiding the star clusters until I know they're fixed.

    I tried a Diplomatic Investigation in Arucanis last night, and found myself in the Empty Map again. there were a bunch of other people trapped in there, so I had to let them know the Transwarp to Mission method of escape. XD

    If this is about the "end up in the blue Empty Map" bug, no idea yet.


    My fed characters have been successfully doing Diplomatic Investigations, though. (Doesn't help my KDF, of course. :rolleyes:)

    If you read even the first page of this thread, you would have seen several ways out of the empty map.

    1, Try visiting your bridge, then leave your bridge. This should return you to sector space.

    2, Pick up the very first mission and use it's Energy Credit transwarp option from the mission list.

    3, Queue for a PVE or PVP mission and then when you've completed that you'll return to sector space.
