While I might add an exception for a file to Avast, I wouldn't do that for a folder. To me, that's too high of a risk, call me paranoid, not trusting, whatever. I thought about setting the do not send option, however now I'm sorta glad i didn't as earlier Avast said the file was ok, and the warning is gone. Hopefully this will prevent others from asking... The real question was, did anyone else have the issue, and from Yeti's response the answer to that would be yes.

So this morning when launching, it said there was an update available. I allowed it. Now when it tries to install my AV (avast) flags is as a potential virus. Avast scanned the file and said it was unsure and would send the report to tech (theirs). Anyone else with this issue? In all the years I've been playing this, this is a first.

Not just you guys. I have one toon that I can't get logged in. I have several others that can tho, I have a few that are slow to log in, but they do get in, so now I'm wondering if the 2 things are related.

I have 4 toons (each on their own account) that take forever to login. I timed one at 55 seconds. I have others (on other accounts) that take only seconds to login. As a test I created a new toon on the account that has one of the slow ones and his logon time was normal (seconds). So it seems that those 4 toons have an issue of some kind. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear this. I do remember her... I think that a star/moon/waypoint/whatever in Glory's Orbit named for her would be nice.

Server is ill. Trying to group 4, players a, b, c and d. Shortly after getting the group, either b or d disconnects, I see a message that player x has left the group followed by the correct name logging. Have to /quit to get the player logged out. Interesting that players a and c don't seem to have any problems. And Woodstock, you were one of the ones that left my group!

Windows 7 here as well. Same issue.

Server is acting funky. Tried multiple toons, Can log in, but after a few seconds I can't do much of anything. Job terminals hang, /endtalk does nothing, trying to log off does nothing, however /quit does work!

I was having the same problem last night. Just tried it a few minutes ago and it's working again. Note that nothing on my end had changed. And as has been mentioned, pinging sunrise worked and a tracert worked as well.

Same thing is happening to me. Running Windows 7 64 bit if that matters.

1. Is this happening when chanching sector or also while sitting still in a sector (test this if nessecary plz) Just sitting there, doing nothing. 2. Is the first login sequence working normally? Yes. 3. If this happens, is there any kind of message? No messages. I see the message that the toon has logged off on another toon. 4. What is the proxy's state (hover the icon of net-7 proxy in the tray) when this happens? Normal, just like it always is. 5. When you restart the launcher/client, is everything ok again? 99% of the time. Once in awhile it'll hang on the map screen. 6. What access-provider are you using and what line? Spectrum 100/10 Note that I have 3 other toons that don't have this problem on the same pc.

I'm also having this problem, Only on one toon, I have 3 others that don't have the issue. Running Win 7 64 bit here. Dump is 290m however I can only attach files that are 1.95m or smaller so how do I get it to you?

My hat's off to the dev's. I haven't seen the dreaded "Client already running" since the last update. Good Job.

Looking back in the logs, this has been happening intermittently for a long time. Native os is Win 7 64 bit, I run the game in compat mode for Win XP SP 3. I didn't think it would run unless it was in compat mode, guess I'll try and see what happens. I do check regularly for virus's malware etc, The file name in the folder is lower case and the right length, and there is another in AppPatch64 that's different. Any doubt, here's the locations (note the .old stuff shouldn't make any difference, I'm just too lazy to delete that folder).

Anyone else having problems ctd'ing? I know it can be a lot of things, but this started Tuesday, usually happens when gating, but I had it a few times last night when I wasn't gating. And last night was worse than Tuesday. I also had one this morning when logging off, probably related, but this gave me an error code! Don't want to spend a bunch of time looking into things if I'm not the only one with the issue.

Not sure if it's related, but I noticed that when the hang occurs when gating that there's a message behind the game. It goes away when killing the game with task manager, so I never saw what it said. Well this morning on a hang while gating, I remembered to look at the message, it says "Server Failed to respond to sector login".

What I don't understand is that until just over 2 weeks ago everything was fine. What changed? Oh, I have had this problem with just one toon online as well. Also last night I saw where people were dc'ing locking up etc. Ran a ping and it was horrible, and a tracert was just as bad however I never did dc or lockup.

Tonight is horrible. Trying to play 4 toons, at least 1 locks up every 5-10 minutes. Gating looses one almost every time. Ran a ping to sunrise.net-7.org for 50 passes, all under 50ms.

Could there be another problem? Asking since it's still happening here.

Any word on this? Wednesday it was ok, yesterday was the worst it has ever been.

Same thing happening to me for about the last week. Sometimes it's worse than others. If it matters, running Win 7 64 bit.

Anyone else using Avast having an issue where it's reporting the launcher (launchnet7) as a trojan and quarantining it?  I've scanned it at virustotal and it's clean, I knew it was but wanted to be sure before reporting it as a false positive to Avast. Now to get it out of the chest and remember how to get around this.

Same thing here. Even with all 4 boxes check the lag was horrible tonight.

Thanks. I just wanted to be sure.

Does the server use SSL, or has it ever?  Asking since when I did a sslsever test at qualys that the one thing that came back mentions a shared address, and that concerns me.
