New LS episodes crashes and bugs

[hugo.4705]

Just spawned in DR, started the story, need to take an airship in LA can't teleport because the client just crashed....

[Cat Warrior.9240]

I mean, what exactly did you expect? Didn't this thing release- a literal few minutes ago?

[aspirine.6852]

Hmm yep same, after a cinematic and introduction of new map it crashed. :/

[Gulbasaur.1865]

Same here.

[Mini Crinny.6190]

This is a perfectly normal patch day for anet

[Mini Crinny.6190]

just too update, got to the new map, crashed and now I cant login on any of my characters even though I only played my Ele through the story

[hugo.4705]

Just started the epic flying fight with kralk, when I unlocked the final skill, my PC died, the screen froze at a point I never saw before.When using last skill to clip his wings, game is crashing.

[Zhaid Zhem.6508]

Finish first story (gota big-big freeze before cinematic ? ) and now the map is loading indefinitely

[Terc.5736]

Same crashing issue on final skill

[Malfrador.3615]

Same here, crash on final (4) skill usage, just before the glowing ball hits his wings.Tried updating the graphics driver and set all graphic options to low, as it seems to be a problem with the particle effect of the impact. Still crashing. At least there are checkpoints in the instance and you do not have to do everything again. Also deleted local.dat, did not help

EDIT: No crash, just the cut scene loading very long when you did not download the full patch. The cut scene should be downloaded when loading the map instead, as it feels like a long freeze/crash. Or at least add a loading bar for it.

Something seems to have changed in the base client. I am well past the "playable" mark, and I am still downloading; however, when I logon my toon is frozen as if lagging. There are no other systems or downloads happening on my LAN, and my OS is patched and up-to-date. I have been playing on this same connection for 6+ years, but the in-game logon server is frequently unavailable with this release. This makes the streaming technology useless if I can't be active past the "playable" mark.

This is the first time this has happened since we started using the streaming technologies, so something must be up with the client. Don't forget that most of us don't have true broadband (I'm only on 1.5 Mbps). Please check the client to see if there are prioritization problems for the folks using streaming. Thanks.

Sorry about this, we're investigating a series of crashes. I'll update this thread when I know more!

Same issue with the cut scene when joining the new map for the first time, it starts downloading just when it is needed, which makes the game freeze until it is downloaded.

Before you start looking for a non-existent crash.

When you said 'very long' how long does it really take ?

[Bloodstealer.5978]

Playable just means you have the minimum amount of stuff to load back into the game. On a 1.5 Mbps connection you should set the Streaming option to either Idle or "On Demand".

Personally I prefer "On Demand" since even on Idle I notice a momentary stutter after the completion of each file.

[Shaez.5762]

I'm getting a disconnect at last instance. Right after words "She is the first of her kind". Tried multiple times, disconnects every time.

[fett.9573]

Repeated crashing when trying to leave the Heart of the Mists via leave button from the PvP menu, porting to guild hall, or trying to enter wvw.

[Bloodstealer.5978]

Weapon Utility / Elite skills are reset.. so redo them, swap map and bam they all disappear again ...

[Ashantara.8731]

New map: 22 POIs, but only 21/21 needed for Map Completion

Might want to correct that. ;)

[Zalani.9827]

It’s been an hour now and I still haven’t gotten the Descent mission to work, aurene refuses to show up through multiple login/logout attempts.

Depends on your internet connection. For me with a download speed of around 1mb/s it took about 3 minutes. You can use the task manager to see if it is still downloading stuff.
