Nope I am not in UK and have tried most suggestions here.
There were a few gates in Arragoth where things worked well and I thought problem was fixed but no, every where else I tried, Sol, Beta Hydri and Tau Ceti I hang every time.
Very frustrating and unfortunately not being a computer geek, I really don't have the smarts to fix this myself.
Oh well, you were fun while you lasted EnB. At least I can come back and look at my ships from time to time. :P Trading and exploring are pretty much out the window though. :(
