[bug] game crashes when looking at holdings

Post by hydr » Fri May 23, 2008 7:51 pm

When you look at your holdings, your game will not completely crash but it seems like it will go through an infinite loop as you cant do anything but close the game.

Also, i am experiencing a good ammount of lag on classic with no lag on any other servers.

This bug is effecting our whole corp on intergalactic homeworlds, its pretty annoying tbh. We have more planets there than the other servers we play but it seems strange that it only started crashing the game straight after the latest update.

hopefully something can be sorted, i have already mailed support@starportgmae.com with a full description of the problem

I'm unable to move around at all on Classic. Ping has only been high one time in the last three days and it fixed itself in about 10 min of sitting in port. Normally I have no ping issues.

Now when I look at holdings or the gal map it won't show me how many planets I have in a system. When I try to exit my colonies my defenses, dome and the warp disappear and I just sit. When it finally lets me do something I'm in space floating.

I've restarted numerous times and tried everything I can think of to fix it. Nothing is being effective. I'm afraid to leave the port or a planet because I get no warning when it decides I'm going to be suspended in space. I log back in and I'm sitting in a system, not on the planet and not in the port. I fear I'm going to get podded this way.

I can't defend my planets or play the game in this situation. Please figure out why this is happening.

50 planets+ on other servers also seems to be veeeeeeery slow to bring up any information, probably a related problem?

more info

I am on permaverse
those with few cols seem to not have issues, so as some say it may be size related(or those have not really looked at holdings recently)

I "only" have 405 cols (maybe more maybe less, I cant check while holdings is broken)
so those that comment on it being corps around 1k having the issue does not apply to me

I had no issue with holdings before the past week's patch

I have also seen the temporary latency/pkt loss issue mentioned above, but that has been all along, not just this week

I have a question for toonces or who sould answer

If we lose a col because we cannot keep track of it (due to loss of holdings list) will it be restored once this issue is fixed?

more specific details on how it behaves for me (permaverse)

holdings opens:
[1]
proximity:
does not show the system I am in
pollution:
does not show top polluters

I cant comment on the other choices but I have a feeling they show less than the entire list as well.

[2]
when I click on the coords in the Holdings view to see the map, I get the galaxy map view fine, but if I try to look at the notes it is 50/50 for me to see the notes or see a blank notes panel and if I click in the blank panel I get "Accessing Database..." but never any info

[3]
After simply clicking on the holdings menu item I have to log off b4 doing any thing else. (even if I dont do [1] or [2] once opening holdings )
I dont get a "lost connection" msg, what happens is that I get stuck in space, if I try to warp, or I am dropped on a random planet, if I try land on a col w/in the same system

[4]
I cannot just log out, and log back in. I have to completely close SGE and reopen it


hope this helps you guys toonces

Yes, thanks for reporting this, Neox has exact same problem. Neox thinks this is the most distrupting glitch since hes been playing. Neox wants toonces to fix it so he can stop playing Simcity3000 for hours straight and return to starport.

Mine came up fine last night with over 450 cols. I didn't spend a lot of time trying the different sorting, etc.

And I want a coffee mug to!!
