Just tried to disconnect my router ( which I did try before) and it felt a bit better. ( which I also felt before). And eventually I crashed again zoning. Anyway, it has been better before too. Some things (SSD, fresh window install) seems like shortens 'not responding' duration but not always. Things can get worse with better environment.
Sometimes it will be very good with short loading (short 'no responding time') but sometimes it will just be very bad as always. Server population isn't factor here. It can be bad or good at any time with heavy (1000+) population and low (300+) population. I belive whoever are affected by this has same symptom like me.
Overall, I just have to guess this is server problem. Something with syncroniciity or connectivity issue with server which I cannot control.
I have live EQ installed and it also has short 'not responding' time every time zoning/loading. But it never crashes.
Meanwhile, P99 will not just crash, but also it will fail in many phase changing actions like logging-in, sever select, character select, and also zoning/porting.
It suggests me that server loses connection (frequently)to my client for all those actions, which in turn leads to 'not responding' problem, which leads to crash or kickback to login screen.
One more thing to mention, when I am kicked back to login screen, I will get all kinds of error message for each attempt of logging in.
From Invalid password to downtime errer message. (I never put wrong password but I get Invalid password message very often. which also suggests me there is something wrong with the server.)
It might be that this problem can be regional too. Maybe some region does not suffer this problem and some other region suffers it all. Assuming this is correct, if management team dwell in region that is not affected, this problem will never be detected directly.
As far as I know, as posts below suggest, I am not the only one suffering from this, more like I am one of hundreds. I really hope this matter is dealt seriously and more aggresively. At this moment, I am more tortured than enjoying this great game and this is not my private issue I think.
Thank you.
