"GS shutting down before loading"

What the hell?

Can't run any missions, Mirror event NEVER loaded. I was queued for a good 15 minutes and NEVER got loaded.


So now, Grindfest online is just "Fly around" online.


What the heck happened?

    I tried to enter the Fleet Starbase system, twice now, and both times the load counter rose painfully slow and the first time I used task manager to kill the client and the second time it logged me out. Had a fleet mate having the same issues trying to transwarp in. I wonder if this is related.
    I know there is a method but all I see is madness.

    I encountered this issue when trying to beam to my ship and to fleet base. Everything else has worked fine.

    The issue seems to be related to random instances. PvE space battles seem to work - when there are actually E to fight.

    Had the same problem with Mirror, finally got in one at 57mins past. Any idea what happened? I stay in First City when I heard about all the other issues, finally risked moving map and changing toon when the Mirror event came back up.

    Are we going to get that Mirror hour back or get rewarded what we would have got? Or is it a case of tough luck?

    Perhaps on a related note:
    I'd been having some strange issues throughout the day, invisible probes on Khitomer, random disconnects, queuing for Infected Space Elite and ending up in Infected Space Normal...

    Had a similar issue when leveling my Tac through "War Games".

    Everything was going fine until beaming to my ship....

    It seem to be an issue with the individual instancing, anywhere there are already people and you will be fine, but if you need to go to your bridge or try to do a mission when it attempts to create the instance it locks up.

    Sort of game breaking, might wanna give an update here guys... and no, "being investgated" wont cut it, give people some sort of time.

    Even if you have to be like Scotty and overestimate it will make it a bit better.

    I've been experiencing a lot of extremely long load times, usually timing out in some fashion. Including various GS shutdown errors. Pretty much any map transition fails.

    I think we're looking at widespread hamster failures.

    I had same problem, tried to go to a foundry mission and the loading screen was loading around 0.1% /s till approx 30% and then kicking me out, I closed the game after third try.



    Edit: Also before today I patched 3 different maps, defera system, defera invasion zone and colony invasion, they all had around 4 files to be patched, took 2 minutes for each invidual file, total of 7 files and 12 minutes for colony invasion, arrived when it was completed. Atleast I got the fleet marks.

    The patching was showing 0Bits/s and randomly showing some bits to be downloaded.

    Oh good, just got a message from the Admins they're bringing the shard down for maintenance. Guess they're replacing the hamsters. :)

    One of three things happened here:

    Tribbles in the system, Q being mischievous or it's an Iconian attack!
