Hi!

I'm getting really frustrated with this bug.

Intermittently, when I jump into a sector, the client hangs. This has been happening since I resubscribed and this is the second time I have reported it directly in this forum.

I'll see the jump screen, the thermometer bar usually starts and gets about 1/4-1 inch across the screen and hangs.

If I'm willing to wait until the server times me out, I'll get to submit a bug report, which I have done several times. Usually, I am too pissed off to wait and will force-quit the client and restart. In each case, I find myself in the targeted sector, but dead in space.

These hangs happened to me over 4 times in the space of a few minutes and all I was doing was jumping between Dau L-11 and L-10.

I need a solution.

Is there some sort of cache file I can delete or some other fix I can perform or do I need to completely reinstall the client?

PLEASE HELP ME!

Does the problem persist without any plug-ins installed?

Also check the errors.log file to see if it lists any relevant info

And unpocoloco originally reported this problem here:

Thanks for the quick response!

Error log showed missing components.

Since my VO client was downloaded almost 2 years ago, I downloaded a new VO client from the website and updated to current version. Will test this evening w/ and w/o plugins and let you know the results.

Thanks!

Yeah, please try running the game without any plugins to see if that helps.
Also, do you have any active missions?
Does it seem to happen at a specific time after you start playing?

Does this happen the first time you enter a sector or has it happened after you've already been in the same sector for the same execution of the game?

I started with a fresh client, played w/o plug-ins, added in plug-ins 2-at-a-time and tested with each pair.

Had no problems initially, but over time several sectors have started to lock up. Dau L-10, which is my home station, now locks up 99% of the time upon entry.

It happens both upon my initial entry and subsequent entries.

No active missions in any occurrence at L-10, though with other sectors I was running proc missions out of Dau stations other than L-10 and the lock-ups were in non-Dau sectors.

Thanks!

Try removing all of your plugins again, but don't reinstall the client. Installing fresh doesn't help ray understand if it's truly a plugin issue or something else.

Found the plugin that was causing the hangs, one of our guild-proprietary ones.

Did not expect it to be the culprit because I've used this plugin almost the entire time prior to my several-month hiatus without a problem AND no one else in TGFT has experienced the same problem that I know of.

Has anything changed in the game code relating to what tasks are performed when a sector is entered?

Thanks!

I am not aware of anything that changed.

It is possible that it is a conflict between 2 or more plug-ins. You should try running VO with ONLY the culprit plug-in installed and see if the problem persists.

Otherwise, you'll have to contact the author(s) of the plug-in and hope they can figure it out.

I just chose to stop using it and use the new replacement version.

Thanks!
