random crashing while zoning, higher ms, blank server select!?!

[Tankdan]

I have also been crashing frequently, maybe once per day, as of a week or two ago. I use Duxa and some improved Walls/floors install. But Ive had both for months and the crashing has just started as of a week or two ago.

[Whoop]

Was the same for me. Been using it for a long time without any problems.

This happens to me every time I play. I've tried wireless, wired, Linux, Windows, different hardware, different installs... I think it's almost definitely networking related. It's incredibly frustrating not being able to zone 50% of the time, having to end task, restart, try to log in, crash, restart, then get in again (needs an extra cycle for some reason). Every other time I zone.

It's a real shame they don't make this more reliable/resilient. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Honestly i put it being on the cable company and no p99. It will stop for you eventually with no changes to p99.

I don't have cable, I have DSL, and it happens on a fiber connection too at work.

i'm in the same boat. I get a number of the following problems and i'm running a Intel Quad Core with Time Warner connection from Upstate NY. Keep in mind that in a 20 minute time frame I can get ALL of these.

Sever screen blank 2-20 times.
System may be down for scheduled maintenance
Cannot connect, may indicate loss of connection to patch server
Client crashed from character select 2-4 times.
An unknown error has occurred while trying to join the server.
2-5x increased loading zones. (I generally out zone any and everyone with very few exceptions on red99)
When I do get logged in, ping still the same ~55-63ms

I can also go hours with having none of these issues.

I've been having similar issues on the win8 laptop Ive been using lately: lag, server select list not showing and crashes on zoning. The lag I do not have An ms for but noticed it in delay of spells being cast, the server select issue comes up about 1/3 tries, and crashing about 1/5 times zoning


Do not have these issues on my desktop (Linux); also 2 laptop is on wifi soo might just be something with that for me /shrug

My client is constantly hanging while zoning. Not crashing, just hanging. Game is nigh unplayable.

Ive had this for over as year, but less than 2 years. Gave up on trying to figure this crap out and just went ahead and bit the bullet and got into d3. Its an inferior game, but hey it works like a charm.

I still try and log in once in a while. but most character selection attempts get booted to login screen. this issue most likely will never get solved. there is nothing the user can do to correct it.

I've had the blank server select issue for going on two months now. When I play at work (same ISP with faster up\dl speeds) it never happens. My work computer is vastly inferior to my home computer in every other way.

EDIT: Should also add that I've been playing on the server since it launched with the same computer and ISP and I've never had this problem until ~2 months ago.
