So the freeze up problem has evolved into full blown disconnecting with a very hard time reconnecting for many people.
We are all trying to be patient while the problem is being addressed but lately it's making it hard to do anything in game. I have been disconnected while just standing still and talking in world chat.
I am not sure of the solution but the problem is getting so bad it is going to be hard to keep new players who's first impression of our shard is unstable.
will do a server restart, (doing the warning countdown atm)... probably becouse server been running for 2 weeks or so in a row.. needs a restart now and then
cool, I was hoping you or Kon would be around to do a reboot.
Don't know if this has any merit, but I just upgraded to Comcast's fastest internet, its gonna cost me, but the game has never run faster of better for me, do different connections and or speeds make a diff?...Nigel
there's some areas in the game I don't freeze what so ever. other places i'll freeze log back in and freeze again. not sure if it's certain areas in the maps that cause the freeze or what but ive went full nights without freezing once lately then i'll be on for 20 mins and freeze 5 times somewhere else
Normally I would agree with you. I can run the Yamatsu mines with maybe one or two freeze ups and most of the classic dungeons I barely freeze.
This post specifically was regarding the past two days where it was non stop crashing but that seemed to stop after Nollkoll rebooted the server.
ah i gotcha. the worst for my lately is the lost lands. some reason t2a hates me.
So if we talk about regions, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but might be good to look into..
yamatsu mines & T2A (felucca only?) are bad
So yea, could you fill in some regions that are extremly bad, and if its in trammel/felucca only.. or both..
for me personally the worst places are primevil lich spawn. Khaldun champ spawn. pretty much all t2a fel. that's the most of where i crash ATM
try run around in trammel.. i could try setup a champ in trammel t2a tomorrow.. see if there is any difference
Actually I freeze up everywhere Yamatso mines are not the worst for me they are one of the lesser freeze ups.
The most common freeze ups for me happen in areas with large spawn. But not all champs. Outdoor champs like in t2a are pretty decent for me most of the time, same with Rikktor in Destard.
The Tokuno champ spawn will freeze me all the time.
The Bedlam Champ freezes me a lot until I thin the mobs down.
I sometimes freeze just when running into a screen with only a few mobs especially when their names appear or when I hit for my first strike.
I guess what I am saying is there is no certain region that causes it for me more of a situational thing.
the pixie mini champ was great untill pixi renound shows up then it is a freeze fest, i am lucky to be able to recall out before another freeze happens.most of the minichamp spawns are quite bad for me. have to agree on yamasuto mines as well, the other night at baracoon i kept freezing up only after the champ had spawned,
This is priority number 1, it has been -- It has gotten better, but not completely gone (which is unacceptable) -- It will be nuked, it's just more complicated than it might seem.
Thank you guys for the patience & this annoying bump in a pristine 5 year history.
Is there any updates on the freezes? It's getting really bad at the gys. As soon as you log on you freeze up right again. I'm getting texts about my best friends not wanting to log in because they can't handle not being able to not only spawn but also do event this is very upsetting to me considering I do quite a lot to try and promote and get people I stay. I'm just wondering if there is any update we can give to these players to ease their minds and hopefully make they log back in. I understand this is a grueling process to try and fix I would just like to give some players piece of mind where we stand on the fix. Its been a few weeks since an update.
This is not a complaint I just don't want to lose my best friends over this.
After latest (client) patch and also following Noll's instructions (again^^) i froze multiple times in less than 5 mins.

Odd, for me it was just the opposit. I have not patched and played today in Bedlam at the champ. I lured every mob toward me into the center of the room, it became so bad that uo stopped responding three seperate times to the point of grey screen with the spinning icon in the center of the screen, yet everytime after a few seconds it would start working again then do the same thing. After about 4 or 5 times of lagging out like that I was standing over a ton of dead mobs and all of my gear gained about 5k tier xp each. I never once fully froze or disconnected. I honestly think it may have been my processor and not UO since I had so many damn mobs on me. It was kind of amazing actually. I normally would have disconnected about 50 times just trying to escape that mob.
I know lagging out and not responding sounds like a problem, but it is nothing compared to the nonstop disconnect and freeze ups from a few weeks ago and for the rest of the day I didn't have even a bit of lag.
