my ping used to run about 120 now im sitting at 60ish not bad but what i did notice im not freezing/lagging anymore :) thanks a ton
I'm only freezing up when there is a lot of mobs on screen (champs spawns and pvm room)
Other then that my ping seems to be the same (I have a low ping normally anyway)
Just as others pointed out the Ping is a lot better. The freezing tho is a big problem. I didn't even try a champ spawn, someone left up Abysmal Infernal and I froze 3 times and had to restart up all 3 times during killing it. Not sure what's causing the freeze
Hehe trading one evil for the other!
This is a brand new server and we are still configuring... Vorspire is working on it.
Please use this topic to post your replies and be detail as possible when you are freezing, what you were doing, etc.
TY
My freezes so far:
Bedlam champ - froze at bottom of stairs, took 4 restarts to get out.
Renowed Pixie champ - me and my two sons with about a dozen or more pixes each froze about 8 times each. Well I don't think the pixies froze but its hard to know for sure. :)

TY for info.. Vorspire has fixed the majority of the World.. There is just some spots like those you mentioned are still giving the client a heart attack... Please keep listing the locations it happens and PLEASE be detail at the moment of the crash...
Example) I froze when I was fighting 7 or 8 pixies and I did a whirlwind attack while using a bandage and I instantly froze!TY we will get to the bottom of it.
We went in Doom with Xryon.
Engaged the Darkfather in the middle room, when he started spawning adds I froze. At this time I was using my hotkey to use first ability(armor ignore with pickaxe).
I reloged, was dead and teleported in Yomotsu Mines...
It happened to Xryon too, I believe at the same time. Froze, had to relog, died, tped to Yomotsu mine. He was using an assassin shortbow and I believe he was also using hotkey for ability.
It happened to me in a few places, PVM room, neira champspawn, I feel like when I get aggroed by a bunch of monster my screen just freeze and I have to relog.
I've had freezing since yesterday.
If I engage something in well - any dungeon so far while having a pet with me.
It doesn't take long until my client freezes. Right now I logged off in doom (young player) during my last freeze.
Loged back in around 1min ago, said all Guard took three steps and client froze.
Tried with compabilities, patched up the game - so far no success.
Oh yeah I am running it with UOsteam.
Did a lvl 7 t map cords 1s 59 e (Map location 100 Fel)
Froze after it popped at the same time I used lighting arrow. Came back dead, spawned 4 or 5 screens south of where I died. Got a res ran away to heal and froze again when I used lighting arrow ability. This time I wasn't dead when I came back and didn't freeze again. I was using a charger also.
Euo wasn't on. UOSteam is being used. No bandys were used in the making of this.
*Edit
Freezing in Twisted Weild. Wasn't attacking since I was dazed by the Dryads, my charger was doing all the work. Froze and had to relog
Froze in gnaws cave. As soon as I hit lighting arrow with my target macro.
Just a hunch, but is everyone using a pet when they crash?
no
i crash more when using lighting arrow then with a pet
I don't use pets either. I crash when there is a lot of mobs that target me. I doesn't seem to matter if I'm using specials or not
A mix of all of this... But I also used a pet a lot of time I froze. But very rarely with one or two monsters, most of the time it freeze when several mobs engage me.
I froze several times with grizzle in Bedlam and i was using my pet....Nigel
I was killin Dread Horn and didnt freeze till he had 10k HP left. no pet, just AI spam
Edit*
Took on Abyssal Inferenal. No pet. froze 4x. Twice Euo wasn't on. No pets. Lighting Arrow spam the entire fight. Froze once upon castling remove curse. The other 3 were just random.
Chicken was freezing a lot -- then he updated his client and it stopped.
I don't think that is the only reason.. But everyone now make sure to go update your clients all the way.
I think Chicken was complaining about losing conn a lot and after he updated that stopped. I could be wrong tho.
Anyways good news is that all the places I used to recall to and lose conn doesn't happen anymore. I can recall around, even to Luna, and not lose conn.
I fully updated and went to kill Meph (thanks to whoever left him up) and it was going great till he was down to 20k hp. I was AI spamming the whole fight and when he started to run away I lost conn 2 times before he died and once while the gold was falling. No pet. This was in Terra Keep.
I'm trying to check out all the different areas. Last night at the marble champ I was trying to kill a rat spawn only using wither and lost conn 3 times before I made it to 2nd level.
I too can now run through Luna like a champ. I have not been hunting since the first day of the new server so I am not sure how the crashes are still affecting me. I will give it a go this weekend.
On the other hand it was nice to have an excuse just to sit and work on my new house, btw carpeting a house is expensive 200k in wool and dyes and I am still not done.
I updated also but still are having some issues. I was killing sand crabs in all locations and with a greater dragon and was losing connection repeatedly. I switched to a Cu and did better. Also, I went to the pvm event and used no pets and still froze up and lost connection. Hope this helps.
Walked into the bedlam champ today and froze before anything even targeted me. No pet, No macro running. Logged back in and taking it slow so far no second freeze.
Still locking up at the twisted weald with a greater dragon. start out ok til i work my way down and corpses build up. I also use animate dead.
it is getting better. i did a whole spiders spawn at ice last night and didn't freeze once. I did freeze running around Destard and froze 3 times killing Abyssal tho.
Was provoking Dragons and didn't seem to freeze either. I froze while just running not while using the skill.
Also is it going to stay this way with not showing the monsters hp? It's % now instead of how many hp.
And what's with the gender of pets? More to come in the next patch? :D
Edit*
Also the check thing while grabbing. I liked the plat bars to add to the check book but if it's to help the freezing then hey whatever
Its not getting any better for me. The twisted weald is out for me. I lock up there every time, even without a pet. So i decided to try the pixie renoun spawn. I started with no pet and locked up. Used a Cu and locked up. Tried a Greater dragon and locked up. Tried with no macros and still locked up. I finished the spawn but probably locked up and had to relog at least 20 times. Now, I have never locked up doing the stealable items or taming to fill taming bods. Unfortunately those are pretty boring. I have no answers but thats the results I have been getting. I love this shard, I hope this can be resolved soon.
what assist program are you all using?
Razor
Uostream
Razor complete new download completely patched Still freezing even doing Tmaps no pets
Is there any new thoughts or fixes for the freezing up problem? It really has gotten worse for me. I'm freezing up fighting one on one mobs now. I even froze up out in the middle of the ocean fighting just one kracken.

It has become somewhat of a nuisance. I for one have not been playing as much since the server moved and if the traffic on these forums is any indication others have not been around as much either.
I have been trying to find other things to do bods, gardening, upgrading my gear. But I am missing taking the boys out for hunts because they just get discouraged when we have to constantly reconnect and hope we don't sign on dead.
Im beginning to wonder if this is still our server issue, I say that because its just not happening to me anymore.
I use comcast which I can usually blame everything on, but in this case it seems to get better for me every day, especially in Luna, I flew thru there last night at full speed with no lag or stops, that hasnt happened in a very long time.
I also havnt crashed now in the last week, that also hasnt happened in a long time for me, just putting it out there....Nigel

To be honest Luna was my biggest enemy until the server switch. Day one of the switch I can run all through luna and not crash, sometimes I lag a bit but I never crash. But I freeze like crazy when fighting mobs especially in dungeons but not restricted to it.
Yeah I've stopped playing too, my shitty connection + those freeze were too much to handle... But I believe Vorsp found the bug and is about to fix it.
Anyway I hope the serv gets back to normal soon so you guys can enjoy it fully.
For my part I'm traveling again tomorrow, so I think I won't be around for a while... (months to a year) !
See ya and take care !
Enjoy your travel DamJ!
And about the luna terror, the freeze issue is due to several reasons, a few of them we have found.
The massive item load in Luna was due to a parallell processing of information, regarding the classic serial processing. Some computer wiz will probably kill me for this metaphor, but see it as filling a bathtub with water, and you have a large variety of bottles, of various sizes.
Parallell processing would mean that you tip each bottle, and lay it on its longside, so each bottle is pouring out its content at the same time(and they are shaped so they will be completly empty, so that bottleneck shape aint viable here in my metaphor hehe)
.
Meanwhiles serial processing would be take one bottle at a time, hold it upside down and when its empty ,take the next. Each bottle would empty quicker, but you quickly realize if there are many bottles, this is the slowest.
Apparently the client itself, or each assist program, having issues with the parallell processing, alas, causing it to overload or something, but yea freeze. (you cant recieve more info packets, but you can still send like a very very few packets after a freeze, like walk a tile or 3)
Then there is the fancy prancy animal lore info, this was a massive improvement on the whole animal lore, and general gameplay, but apparently.. It had its downside. You may have noticed the attempts to slim it down, and general overhauls thats not visible ingame.
There could ofcourse be different factors, why the client freezes, but yea, hope that some information cleared up, and were fighting it!
