Sometimes when i'm loading for Lockdown , FSC, or going to haven it disconnects me and won't let me log on until 10 minutes or so. When it disconnects me and i try to log on it says failed to connect to server. So once 10 minutes has passed by it finally lets me on. This gets awfully annoying ESPECIALLY when your going on a FSC run or Lockdown. Also sometimes i must rush to haven for some important events it disconnects me so this may be something wrong with SK or it may be just my computer....
Disconnects me and won't let me log on until 10 minutes later
This only occurs for me when I use steam and not client. I can easily connect via the Client to with an alternate account to check on my steam account when this happens. All it shows is that my steam account is stuck in a lobby and is disconnected. There must be some issue with the handling of the game via steam and its needs to be addressed. I know that a lot of people are frustrated by this constant issue and find it hard to get in to play.
I think i have the same problem. I call it the black screen of death.
It usually occurs when trying to go to haven from the ready room, or trying to join a mission from haven. Less frequently it occurs between Lockdown games or when exiting/entering the Advanced Training Hall.
It always looks the same though. The black screen doesn't give way to a loading screen, but lasts a while and eventually spits you out to the login screen. It takes 3-5 attempts (about 10 minutes) to log back in. Before then, attempts say that the client can't connect to the server. It is interesting to note that when I do get back on, the chat log from when I disconnected is visible (though there isn't anything new).
This bug has been around for a while (3 months or so, I believe) -- at one point it made SK unplayable, before a patch made it somewhat less frequent. However, it seems to occur randomly, and makes playing a real pain.
Note that I only play the client version (not Steam).
There was a thread about this a while back, but I can't seem to find it.
Again?
Did anyone notice yer character is still inside with no disconnected logo on yer head?
I'm sure it's related to a thread somewhere... maybe this bug wasn't fixed. x.x
