I also appreciate the hard work you all put in. Just posting because it seems that every time I wake up the server is offline lol. Poor timing on my part I guess haha!

What's odd is that Tienbau JUST restarted the server not a half hour before the crash.

Ooh. I wants it too!

Yes.

I have no idea if this is related but sometimes when I CTD after login(password entry), ebconfig fixes it... sometimes. Perhaps it's coincidence?

Make sure you read the Instruction page carefully. There is one little step in there that says you have to run ebconfig.exe before you can play. It's in EAGAMES/Earth & Beyond/EBCONFIG. If you're on vista (or win7, I assume) you have to run as administrator or the settings will not be saved and you won't be able to play. Good luck!

The servers are having problems with the zone change-offs. If you're playing and gate or dock when the server is having this issue, you'll hang on the load screen. If you try to log in while the server is having this issue, you'll hang on the load screen. I've been playing fine for the past few times it's happened. You just have to stay in the same zone until people start logging back in.

So does it work?

It is server-side. The servers are having problems with the zone change-offs. If you're playing and gate or dock when the server is having this issue, you'll hang on the load screen. If you try to log in while the server is having this issue, you'll hang on the load screen. I've been playing fine for the past few times it's happened. You just have to stay in the same zone until people start logging back in.

I'm also having this exact same problem. Stuck on load screen after character select. It's happening on multiple machines (Xp and vista) and on multiple accounts.

Try running the Ebconfig.exe file before playing the game. it's in EAGAMES/Earth & beyond/EBCONFIG folder. that should fix it right up.

Make sure you run the enbconfig.exe before you try to play the game... It's in EAGAMES/earth and beyond/EBCONFIG folder. that should fix it.

Ok so I tried ALL of these solutions, re-updating every time, keeping the process the same except for the one variable I am changing. NONE of them worked but one: I changed my desktop resolution down (Way way down) to 1024x764 (might not be exactly right) down from 1920x1080. I then went into EnB config and changed the resolution of the game to the 1024 resolution and now I'm logging in successfully. Thank you and good thinking, Kameleon! Good luck to those who are having the same issue!

I don't think I mentioned this: When I get these freezes, its not just a hiccup... It locks the client down. I can't do anything, and it doesn't recover from it. I have to close the client. The client doesn't close with the Esc menu correctly. Then when I try to log in again, I have to clear the updates and repatch. I have McAffee firewall up. I run monthly scans with McAffee and before this post, I ran another scan. The only programs I have set to run at startup are as follows: laptop touchpad program Mouse driver program Sound controller Keyboard driver program iTunes McAffee siteadvisor McAffee SecurityCenter I prevent anything I don't regularly use to stop from running at startup. I have uTorrent on my computer but like I said I've run scans since the last time I opened it and it does not launch at startup. What would you recommend I use for a system cleaning? >> Update: I was having problems logging in earlier. When I succussfully logged in, the client would close. I was able to resolve that problem. A nice side-effect of solving that problem is that now when I get these freezes, the game actually responds to the Esc menu options. It closes the game down or goes to character selection. It might be linked somehow but I don't know how. >> >> Update on the update: Now when I get these hiccups the game can recover and I can keep doing stuff. (Yay) Thanks.

Update: I was travelling doing a trade route from Earthcorps High Command to Earth station while doing some race/class quests when I entered the Earth from Luna. I was able to enter warp just fine entering the gate from Luna to Sol. By the time I got to Earth Station, I must have had a disconnect because when I registered then docked to Earth Station, the client closed (not froze) on me. That was the first time this has happened to me.
