Risa map loading

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
it loads more then 30 sec. to the point that the game freezes, and i get windows message to kill the process. but after i wait it continues to load, and it will load. i have no problems of this kind on rest of the maps.
is this me, or is any one else have this problem?

    No, I get the same thing. It usually happens around 94% give or take 0.5. It gets stuck there for 20-50 seconds, no snrs, no nothing, just hangs there. And then it unfreezes itself and continues loading on its merry way.
    I assume it has something to do with all the people currently frequenting Risa, but damn is it annoying.

    Enh, not sure, but yeah I sometimes see it.

    I wonder if 94% is the stage of loading where it assigns a zone number? Risa has a lot of them.

    Hmm, haven't had a pause at 94%, but I have had several characters do a long pause just after the world map has loaded but before my character appears. At least yesterday and the day before, haven't done anything yet today....

    You might be on to something. I'm playing STO right now and having the same issue again and I noticed that in the top right corner it says "Loading..." all the way up to ca 94%, then hangs. The moment that message changes from "Loading..." to "Loading Risa" then the game unfreezes and loads the rest without issue.

    Edit: When switching instances the change from "Loading..." to "Loading Risa" occurs somewhere around 50%, give or take.

    I get the same thing, also at least two times as you finally "land" in the Risa map it first looks like all the buildings are in wire-frame a few moments and then everything appears normal.

    I'm getting it sometimes switching characters and got crashed once today when it hung and spun. But generally it's not too bad - average say 10 seconds.

    for me it can go up to a minute and a half. only wonted to know if it is a problem on my side, luckily it's not.
    i hope they fix it soon as it is annoying.

    Yep, I'm getting tagged too.

    It 'hangs' with me around the 95% mark and takes awhile to finish.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    this is getting worse and worse, 3-5 min. to load a map!?!
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    Mine doesn't take longer than about a minute and a half and hasn't crashed yet, it's still annoying when it should only take a few seconds.

    I have stayed on Risa since the start of the event so I don't know what is happening in space. But on Risa I was having slow load problems when switching between toons. I was looking to get all my toons in the same day/night "time zone" so I picked one low population instance and switched all my toons to it. Now everything is working normally and switches as fast as usual. If the pop picks up on this instance I will learn if this is population driven or instance changeover driven.
  • sheldonlcoopersheldonlcooper Member Posts: 4,042 Arc User
    yeah some 30 to 45 second delays for me as well today. When this happens I often also see red laser markings on the ground before I can interact with anything, then they disappear.

    I've noticed this as well. Takes me a long time to load the Risa map. Took one of my characters over a minute...and I don't have a slow computer or internet connection so those are non issues.

    Yep same thing takes up to a couple minutes.
  • by7antineby7antine Member Posts: 8 Arc User
    Having an instance switch while switching toons might be the problem. Whenever I get a long load I noticed I have either been force switched by the game or I have loaded into a full instance. Keeping all toons in the same low pop instance has been working well so far.

    Had the same problem myself OP.

    Same here. Others from zone chat report same thing. Tried filing bug report, but gives error trying to send it.

    Maybe bug relates to artifact search considering some logins shows entire visible ground filled with the red scanner lines.

    Toon hopping is completely frustrating, and I can't participate in Risa events as before across multiple toons. Waiting 1-2min on toon hops is unacceptable while the window freezes and goes into 'task not responding' until finally loading.

    Same. It's annoying but it eventually loads.
  • ilithynilithyn Member Posts: 903 Arc User
    On Risa again and it's more horrible than the last two days. Had a freeze that was just shy of five minutes.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Originally it looked like it was some sort of wireframe/no-texture thing, but on repeated viewing it definitely looks like lots of artifact scanning lines piled on top of each other.

    I have also seen this problem, after a long loading
  • markhawkmanmarkhawkman Member Posts: 35,236 Arc User
    Someone get a screencap of the red lines. I want to examine them for research into how the scanning game works. :p I'm trying to make one myself, but it's rather.... intermittent as to when they appear.

    Well, two, but that's useful data. :)
