[quote="PROWLER"]The client is (periodically) freezing while crafting but it is a little odd; I am crafting pots using the drifting vendor's pot tables while stood by the Guild Store in TYT. I am using "click-lock" on the mouse to hold the button down. Sometimes (today it has been doing it repeatedly and frequently (like every batch I try to create) but yesterday it only did it a couple of times throughout the whole day) it "freezes" production. When this happens, the "pot" has been manufactured and put in the inventory but the window where it shows success/fail is empty (and frozen). Furthermore, I can disengage from the "pot table" and walk around TYT but I cannot interact with anything. I then have top Ctl/alt/delete to escape the game and re-launch. These "freezes" are (apparently) random in occurrence and frequency. I have done all the usual stuff (re-load etc.) but the problem persists .... but only when crafting (never any other time). Help please....... 8) Jac[/quote]

[quote="DEAMOND"]Having some problem, if its not this issue im being dced every 30 minutes [/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]From 9pm (13th Nov) the client was freezing every few minutes - could only craft a handful of pots. Logging back on was troublesome and I repeatedly failed to get back in game. I downloaded all the optional windows updates - no improvement. I have no issues with any other internet sites (no problem accessing this forum) 8([/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]tried changing resolutions?[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]I haven't but I will now. I haven't done any crafting for a while (maybe several months before Halloween event) and I can't find any other scenario that causes the freeze. It's weird as fish.[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]I have set the resolution at the default (800x600) and the rascal froze on the second batch. I also took the opportunity to craft some pots on my computer at work and it was fine. Presumably, there is a conflict in my computer with something in Soma (presumably no one else is getting that). I am a total technophobic and my understanding is close to zero ...... but, what should I be looking for to resolve this? (It's only crafting that triggers the freeze) Jac[/quote]

[quote="DANOT"]There's quite a few of us who have had the same issue for weeks and a fix hasn't been found yet. It only happens when healing other players or crafting and its very intermittent. Sometimes I can go all day without a dc and other times it's every 2 minutes. Things I've tried that haven't worked: - Reinstalling soma - Using 800x600 resolution - Using a VPN - Using different accounts - Using a different PC - Installing soma in a different directory - Running as administrator and in compatability mode for Windows xp If I do a traceroute whilst playing soma, when I freeze / dc, it shows my connection to the server timing out and packets not being received back from the server. I'm pretty sure it's a server side issue which we can't change. [/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]it could be down to the auto features of those things, like fast cast healing sending to many packets to quickly. auto sending healing packet to quickly = dc auto sending craft item packet = dc 1 of the possibilities. perhaps add in a slightly longer delay for those types of packet send requests[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"][quote="FRINGE"] 1 of the possibilities. perhaps add in a slightly longer delay for those types of packet send requests[/quote] I have no idea what that means or what I need to do ... could you say it in layman's terms please? Fanks 8) Jac [/quote]

[quote="FRINGE"]its not something the player can change. only fin can change.[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]If it is helpful for diagnosis (Finito), this morning (Sunday 17th Nov) between 8:00am and 9:00am it has been "freezing" on every batch of pots I am crafting (and disconnecting). Usually, in the evening, it may do it a couple of times. Sometimes it does it a lot for a period of, say, 30 mins. This morning was too bad and I gave up. Possibly something else going on with the server that is conflicting?[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]FYI, Logged back on evening time around 6pm. Unable to craft a single batch of pots without it locking up 8([/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]Mon 18th Nov During Sacred Stone and afterwards - client crashing out (freezing then d/c). Could not do a single batch of pots. Also, Nite killed my main and he is a piece of shit. Also, I am considering taking legal action against the drifting vendor for selling me faulty pot tables - I have wasted loads of barr on them now ......[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]Noted that the server actually went down within 20 mins of me giving up trying to craft pots because of "freezing" .... it had been worse tonight - connected issue?[/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]19/11/19 8:00am (ish) Tried many times to do a "batch" - none succeeded without a freeze/crash Had to abandon[/quote]
