The game freezes with "connection to server lost"
« on: December 10, 2012, 07:06:24 pm »
I had two instances where the game simply froze within 1 hour of each other - the player gets locked mid-stride; the world's effects grass swaying etc continues.

This might be the same bug we used to see more often during closed testing and it might be connected to your graphics options. Did you use the auto-config or did you manually choose your settings?

Using same laptop as per C209 (though now it is Windows 8).
I selected my maximum resolution (1920 x 1080) and Ultra as the quality.

It was happily running at 60+ frames per second for 40 plus minutes between freezes.

Game wouldn't let me in, Client.exe error. Deleted the 'cache' in 'my documents' and worked ok with the Quality at minimum. I do freeze up/ graphics go wild, but if i min/max the screen it seems to correct itself. I played most of the morning, and now when i get into game i get another Client.exe error. Shuts down the game instantly..... Any fixes for that yet ??

There is definitely something strange going on ... though from the feedback so far - this seems to be just me.


I've now had several freezes (avatar freezes - scenery still sways to the wind etc) .


Each time - the server acts as if it has lost connection with client. When I try to log straight back on - get "connecting" but never connect until the timeout occurs. When I wait a while - all is fine.


However, my last incident of this also did something new ... I was 1/2 way out of Saransk, froze, then when I logged back on - I was back at the foot of the outpost (where I had originally logged on to several minutes earlier)

I get the "connection to server lost" state any 3-4 minutes :/ I have to close the game and restart it. Then i can shortly do something until the same problem occurs again.
