    constantly, assuming it lets me log in and doesnt freeze at that time.

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    Same problem here i go from a system patrol or something then out to sector space and they game freezes and then i have to close the client because it will not response after 5 minutes.
  • fletch57fletch57 Member Posts: 318 Arc User
    yeah,this is BS.I guess we will have to wait for next patch for possible fix.

    I fixed my problems with using the command: -d3d11enable 0 -d3d9ex
  • fletch57fletch57 Member Posts: 318 Arc User
    hmm,I will try that,thanks

    how do i use the command: -d3d11enable 0 -d3d9ex ?
  • fletch57fletch57 Member Posts: 318 Arc User
    in the character screen,choose the options box,scroll down to command line and type the above in.btw,Don't think it worked for me.

    Mine freezes on map/char changes into DS9 space/ground and ESD/SOL system. Since New Dawn when this happens I have to launch in safe mode and at the char selection screen I have change from directx11 to directx9 windowed back out and then restart normally. Gameclient freezes are not new to me as it happens multiple times daily since DR. Having to change from directx11 to directx9 is a new annoyance however, and this work around is becoming quite stale.

    Happening to me too. At first it happened regularly when exiting PvE map but today it happened when loading PvE map too. Of course the map manager kicked me from the game and when loading alpha quadrant guess what? Freeze again. Whatever you are doing you are just breaking it more, get your act together!
    I am starting to get severely disgusted with technical state of your "game". Even one Mirror invasion daily is a pain with how things are running now.

    Freezing is back in full swing. There is a bug report we're keeping alive in the bug forums. We're just waiting for it to be acknowledged. I get hit with it if I'm warping out of the badlands, warping into ESD and sometimes Sol system, and other random times. It's annoying, and frankly, not sure why it isn't being looked at. The bug was definitively introduced some weeks before S11 hit. Thankfully, at least the D3D errors that I hit after I force shutdown the game are gone.

    Just set your sto graphics to DX9 by going into Options -> Graphics. DX11 has issues and there's no amazing graphical difference.
    Fixed all the map transfers for me.

    Getting the frozen screen and red "server not responding" when attempting to beam down in "the factory" Deros System. Tried dropping the mission and restarting it to no avail. There's nothing wrong with my download speed either.

    Having same issue when switching toons or beaming up and down and happens at random. The change sto graphics to DX9 seemed to help a bit but it still happens. I am running Comcast and did a tracert below.

    The problem at 198.49.243.253 is known over at Neverwinter and they're looking into it.
  • dirlettiadirlettia Member Posts: 1,632 Arc User
    I hope they look into it soon as right now I have tried 6 times to get into Mirrror invasion and froze every time today. Without being able to map transfer the event is really going to grind especially since we have enough AFK folk already we dont need all the 'no loaders' as well.

    This exact issue is happening to me every day. With the consensus, I concur it began some weeks prior to S11. The loading screen in random places, much more often ESD or DS9 and similar, will freeze soon after the counter animation starts, and it's over. Hard end process of client necessary.

  • wraithshadow13wraithshadow13 Member Posts: 1,728 Arc User
    This just started happening to me today. Lately, load times have been going a little slower, but today, I was transferring down to DS9 and it froze all together. It took two entries into the game, and letting it sit for ten minutes, just to get back onto my main. Last year's winter event made it so I can't use headphones any more(it crashes the game in combat), and I still can't a year later. If this is happening now, I'm almost afraid to see what the winter event does this year.
  • tarran61tarran61 Member Posts: 827 Arc User
    Happening again to me, every toon, 30-180 sec so far........Im starting to feel I backed the wrong team.
    Positive thoughts.

  • darkhorse281darkhorse281 Member Posts: 256 Arc User
    Yeah my continues to frees on DS9 ground/space and Sol System. So much so I have to re-log more than half the time I try to enter those maps. Now to re-log I have to log in safe mode so I can change the display to dx9 because for some reason the game defaults to dx11 which means to get back in I have log in/out twice most of the time now. Ive minimized my time in ds9 and sol but frankly I'm getting tired of this and am not logging back in every time at this point kinda like this morning as I just don't have interest in fighting with the client this morning/afternoon.
  • daymigdaymig Member Posts: 6 Arc User
    I'm having the same annoying issue of the game freezing while a change maps, zones, just anything. What the heck is going on
  • daymigdaymig Member Posts: 6 Arc User
    Guys I think i found a solution for not getting stuck in map transfer. In the game launcher go to options and choose Patching proxy EU. That is working for me at the moment
  • gavriil1983gavriil1983 Member Posts: 73 Arc User
    This has been going on since october, and to this day [november 16th] nothing stops the transfer freeze. not safe mode. not low graphics. not anything. this game is virtually unplayable unless one wants to basically sit at the same map and twiddle their thumbs. some can't even log in to do THAT.
    Their twitter account has been silent and there hasn't been an official response to our complaints about this.
    When can we expect some update and what exactly is cryptic doing to try to resolve this issue?
  • fletch57fletch57 Member Posts: 318 Arc User
    this problem really $%^&# me off. on top of this,the rubberbanding / low FPS is also a major problem.can't put in a ticket because after choosing a toon,you enter your map area and it freezes there.
  • lucho80lucho80 Member Posts: 6,600 Bug Hunter
    The bug has been acknowledged. Now we wait.
    Apologies for updating this late. There is a bug in our internal system about this already.
  • worfdaddyworfdaddy Member Posts: 11 Arc User
    Every time I do a map transfer I'm waiting 5 minutes at least for the transfer to happen. This is very annoying when you are trying to play a timed stf. All pve queues are hard enough with the people afk just to get the marks but when you can't transfer the map and load, you usually don't get the marks everyone else gets.
  • gondarathgondarath Member Posts: 5 Arc User
    This is recurring and very annoying problem that CRYPTIC needs to address!!! I have continuously had game freeze or longer than hell load times to get into any main starbase on all my toons, I have done All your supposed net connection fixes (which are rudimentary fixes btw that don't work) the problem doesn't lie on the operator's side, it's Cryptic's side. I would post all the stats that you've requested, but what since does it make when they all say the same thing, "TIMED OUT!". O and BTW if any rocket scientist on your end wishes to say it's my internet connection (which is COX Cable and download being 65mbps, upload being 8 to 10 mbps) Wrong answer! And before you go as far as saying it's my system:

    so this is NOT THE ISSUE!! LOL. I have gone so far as to remove Star Trek from ARCH and download from Steam, which BTW offers WAY BTR graphics for some unknown reason), yet this problem still exists to this day. It's has stop me from doing or possibly finishing the Mirror event (which I think should be extended do to this issue!) and/or ANYTHING ELSE! It's your agreement in the EULA and other agreements you've asked us to comply too, yet you've done NOTHING yet to address this issue pursuant to those agreements. Hoping that you will get this straightened out soon I have a Fleet to get work done on and I'm unable to proceed with anything in game do to this MALFUNCTION!!

    Yours (annoyed) Truly,

  • fletch57fletch57 Member Posts: 318 Arc User
    FYI,I have for awhile thought Arc was causing most of my lagging/map transfer problems and with arc chat corrupt,last night I uninstalled arc and now the game is running better. who knew? so,if you have arc you may want to boot it.
