"Loading..." screen usually doesn't start loading..

Sep 30, 2004 SalsaDoom link
Hey fellas,

About 90% of the time, my "Loading..." screen just never begins to load. The blue bar just never appears. I can hear things going on in the background, it seems, like lasers firing and stuff.. but I can't see it. It displays the screen fine, and I've been in the game, connected fine and interacting.. but moving between sectors or even getting into the game is a bit of a annoying trial at the moment.

Anyone else having this problem? Think it might just be a temporary network issue?

Thanks!

I loaded up Vendetta on my laptop (which has an ATI 9700 instead of a nVidia Ti4200 8x) and it runs great -- but has the same problems ;( So i'm pretty sure its not my configuration.

And.. now that I poke around a bit it seems to be only when entering the Neutral capital sector that I have this problem... interesting.

I get the same issue, also in neutral sector. Tried a new character, in Itani? sector, works fine.

I have had this same issue in Arta Caelestis J11 (I too am Nuetral). What area is the problem for you guys.

Think it is the same, but cannot remember exactly the station name. Neutral capital for sure, think its the one you start out when you first start.

Yeah, its Arta Caelestis J-11 -- everywhere else works just fine. Weird. Gotta be a bug.

It works every now and then. I wonder if it may be related to the nearby Ion Storm. This is the only Staton I have seen with an Ion Storm in the sector right next to it.

I also had the same problem going into J11, but no other sectors. Sometimes I could get in, but there would be a minute or two of delay, instead of the normal seconds to change sectors.
It stopped happening later on, so maybe it was related to player activity?

When a sector doesn't load, it's a server-side problem. Sometimes it means taht sector has crashed, or been taken offline. The devs are working on the server now, so they might have done something to it. Make sure you tell them (in a Bug Report or w/e) what sector it is so that tehy can fix it.
