Game freezing after "Exit Area" end of FP

Recommended Posts

Hi folks - been experiencing this for about a day or two... FP ends, kill final boss, grab loot, everyone says "thanx, good job," etc...

 

I click the Exit Area button above the mini-map (and I believe in most/all cases I select previous location) - it changes to loading screen, and gets stuck at about 70%. I can move mouse, and the spinning timer beside the mouse comes on and off.

 

Now, I've tried to be patient, and so I believe I've waited a sufficient period of time to (generally) confirm that the game is in fact frozen there. So, I alt tab, close game and restart. When I log back in, toon is (again usually) sitting in my stronghold, which typically was my previous location - everything else works fine. But... it's starting to get frustrating.

 

Anyone else experiencing this - any suggestions?

Cheers,

J

It sounds like you have some corruption in your install.

Check to see if you can do a "Repair" from the Launcher - that is, before you log in, check the gear-shaped settings button on the lower-left and see if the repair option is available in there.

Appreciate the tip, Quaker. I saw the gears when the login screen opened, but after logging in, there was no longer an option. I clicked before logging in, and said it needed to patch first. Does not seem to be detecting any issues?

This is why I wish more folks gave actual details in their reports

 

I click the Exit Area button above the mini-map

 

Known issue with the Nvidia video cards. It's on the list:

Please see if you can install older drivers from pre Sept '15:

Thx Dr. Mike - it's odd this has been an issue since Sept, and I've never experienced until a couple days ago? Oh well, guess it's random. Appreciate the info.

 

Cheers,

Ok, just did another few FPs.... happening when I just us the FP exit door itself, AND, Exit Area button and selecting Exit Location.

 

The one option that seems to work, is just travel to stronghold. Did that - no freezing.

 

Cheers,

J
