1andy2 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I was playing earlier today... then I went to start it up this evening it lets me select a character, then it goes to a picture of a galaxy map like it's loading, then crashes to desktop after 30 seconds. I tried changing screen resolution, that didn't fix it. I'm running windows XP, so the compatibility mode isn't an option. It's done this 5 times in a row, so there's got to be some kind of problem. Wish I knew what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1andy2 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is your user account the "Computer Administrator" rank? You mean for my Operating system? Yes, I think so. I tried logging in a second ago and it worked. I played for 5 minutes, then tried talking to a NPC merchant... then the game just hung up on that. I could see other players chatting in the shout box but I couldn't advance or get out of the conversation with the NPC. I walked away from the computer for 10 minutes or so and came back and it was still stuck, so I tabbed out and tried to log in again... Same problem. Crashes after character selection.

C Del[IS] Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hopefully it was just a fluke or a locked up thread somewhere. Let us know if the problem comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1andy2 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I almost hesitate to post again, but it's happening again. Murphy's law states that because I posted this, my next attempt to log in will be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1andy2 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 ok, it let me log in, but when I tried to leave the station, it crashed. Something about "failed sector log in" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Del[IS] Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Are you using the packet optimization or prototype reordering settings in the launcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1andy2 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Are you using the packet optimization or prototype reordering settings in the launcher? I've tried the packet optimization option both on and off. So far, the result has been fairly random. Haven't tried the prototype reording setting, tho. I'll try that and report back.
