STuck in Game. GM's Uesless

so, this has pledged me ever scince closed beta.

your on a ground mission and all of a sudden. :crash:bam:wallop:

your stuck, ground weapon will not disengage from a target that's already dead or is locked on to some target on the other side of the neutral Zone... and you can't move.

only thing one can do is beam out and start the mission over again. just to get stuck in the same spot once more. once stuck even if you become incaped. and re spawn nine-out of-ten times your'll still be stuck.


When reporting it to the GM's the only opt. is to send the ticket and wait...............thirty-five mins later...........

still nothing. then one gives up due to sitting at the same screen waiting for a reply so you log off. and then with in twenty mins. one gets the lovely Auto-reply: We tried to contact you in game but it looks as if you have logged off.......


so tell me Why hasn't this glitch been fixed? as a holder of two retal copies and a life time sub. I want answers. and not ones that are blatent cookiecutter auto-replys:

I'm really enjoying the game and plan on supporting it to the fullist, I just want to know why a glitch that's been around scense day one of CB is still twisting it's thorny self in my side...

    I've not experienced this before. Tickets take days to be resolved, there's little point waiting for a GM to come at your beckoned call.

    Curious how you got a response within an hour - I logged a call and got the 'tried to contact you in game' message 5 days later - Felt like responding "logged off?, of course I logged off you stupid idiot" but realised I was probably responding to an automated system - or in other words, I don't think Cryptic have many real humans manning the support desks.

    As a lifetime subscriber (AKA fool), I have to say I am massively dissapointed with this game - I just hope that Cryptic eventually work through the issues and start to put in the effort that was sorely needed BEFORE the excrement hit the fan.

    never ever noticed this bug during cb,ob or live in hundreds of fights...what happens is that when you have your inventory open, you cant move foreward or backward...maybe this is what happens to you ?

    not expecting beckoned call. just answers. and a patch or fix. this bug/glitch has been casing me nothing but Deja vu from day one closed beta. everything is working fine.... then bam. targeting laser won't disengage and I can't move. limited movement at best. stand/kneel

    I have never seen that bug either, could it be your character name that causes it? Just joking.

    Never been stuck anywhere in game. And never had any target locks on enemies that are down, never seen that once.

    plagued. forgive any misspellings. it's 32c where I am, and the heater is busted. luckily my tower is keeping the room a little warmer.

    and to answer some of the questings about this bug.


    I've tried countless ground weapons and they all turn out the same. beam will not disengage. as if it's locked on to a target but there is not one anywhere near by. I jump, nothing. I double tap an arrow key. nothing. just the cool down bar.

    I've not opened my inv. during a ground mission. I've even tried not picking out loot. still the same. the only thing I've been able to do was on the off occasion was bypass the troubled spot and come back to it later on, and hope I can or my away team can take out the targets with out it catching.

    never heard of this. been playing since closed beta.

    do you have a controller plugged in? do you have a torrent running? anything running? try closing everything except STO and see if it helps. then you can run things again one by one to see what the cause may be.

    I think you might want to check the Tech Support forums, as it might be a problem specific to your system.

    You might also take /loc's when you get stuck and file bug reports.

    Other than that, I dunno what to tell you - it's the first month of a new MMO, the GM's are totally overwhelmed.

    Another idea: maybe its lag....i know the game freezes when there is no response from the server. Maybe you can check if the connection dies ( /netgraph 1 will show it).

    I remember something like this in Champions. There was some power that would occasionally lock me into a frozen pose and logging was the only way to clear it. They fixed it after a couple of weeks then it came back a week later and I unsubbed.

    I've had what the OP describes happen once in STO so far but happily my BOffs were able to finish things up for me... took about 5 minutes but they still did it.

    I can tell you they do, I have spoken to a gm in game more than once, and within 2 mins of asking...

    Reminds me of SWG, aww the memories.
