Game keeps freezing.

As title says the game keeps freezing for between 10-30 seconds. When it wakes up your dead so still working your end. All the time and resources used to get where you are is wasted, starting to make the game unplayable.

Been happening for some time, Thought it might be linked to the connectivity issue, so not reported until now, but since you say you fixed that must be another problem.

Was running browser version in Firefox, so in case it was a Java issue have been running the thin client(?) version which is just as bad, Not seen it reported but chatting to other players seems it happening to them as well.

Running under Win10.

 

Hello @ABN555,

I don't know of any one else reporting this particular issue, so I would like to know a few more things about it. When did you notice it starting? What were you doing when it happens? Does the game unfreeze and continue working afterwards, or what do you currently do to handle it? Have you tried any of common troubleshooting tips in our Technical FAQ (and if yes, which ones)?

While I don't have a concrete solution to offer, I hope this at least gets things started.

Cheers,
Anyki

 

It is because of the bad programming.

 

It also happens to me, usually after a new patch/hotfix, it sometimes freezes for a few minutes. It happens when you enter maps for the first time after the patch/hotfix. I think it's the connection between the server and the resources downloaded on the PC.
Sometimes when you enter a new map the monsters are invisible or are floating, other times it's not such a visible indication, so it freezes probably trying to re-download those resources, but it doesn't uses the full Internet speed just a few kb/s, I suppose that if it were to use the full speed it wouldn't freeze that much. Sometimes it happens even in towns.
After that happens and you've let it load or you stopped the client and re-started it that map will probably load normally or do the same thing and freezes again. If you are in a dungeon or wilderness you'll probably be dead by the time it comes back... So it's really annoying, but after the last patch since the rubberbanding/lag increased like hell... I have low expectation for this to be fixed.

 

Started a few days before all the reported connectivity problems were being reported, so about 2 or 3 weeks at a guess.

Can happen anywhere at any time in any map, even happened in an urban area yesterday. Although it can happen at any time for no apparent reason the highest occurrence by far is when clicking on a quest keeper, both when starting and trying to finish a quest.

As bLaind posted quite often get invisible monsters when entering a new map area. Takes quite a few seconds before they appear, they can kill you while waiting for them to be visible.

Did read your link and have tried a few things including ditching the java version and running the thin client. Nothing has helped.
When it does freeze I just wait and then it will unfreeze itself when its ready.

 

My problem is the same,it freezes and than I get nebula3 message about audio2interface thread or nebula3 for graphics erros. It is really annoying when you are doing quest and that happens,you must go back to collecting stuff so you can get again in mini event and because of this nebula3 thing I would not be able to finnish mini event

 

As a footnote to give an example of what was perhaps the most frustrating freeze.
Running Parallel Worlds Q2 Map2 for the third time, so already been there twice before. The boss you have to kill to open the portal was almost dead, then the game froze. By the time it unfroze I was dead, the boss was dead and my team mates had gone through the portal to the boss. When I respawned there was no portal so I was left alone on an empty map with nowhere to go.
