Cant enjoy the new event colony courtship

[Markeen]

I'm on console and my experience is this: players vanishing (seems pretty common now) and for me the main issue is I crit out every major arkfall or right after completion. When I exit the game to reload it entirely it hard freezes my console. Every time. I keep posting asking for some stability but I can't seem to get a response from the team. Yesterday I crit out after a full reload 3 times back to back.

Mentioned this in another thread.

Ah, the joys of being a PS3 player.

Been mentioning this weekly in multiple threads. Lol. For months on end now. Never get an answer. Ps3 has been thrown on the shelf indefinately.

Only game that hardfreezes my console. Continually. Once i dc, i cant sign back in till i restart the console, then it hardfreezes 3 times per hour sometimes. Feckin unbelievable. I keep seeing in the patch notes that there are stability fixes, but there is no such thing as stability on ps3.

Again.. my game never freezes. Yet for you and derpenhouser.. it freezes constantly. You guys swear up and down its not your hardware that's the issue, but then what can it be? Do you know what's actually going on inside your little black boxes?

There is no way to know for sure but it could very well be due to age, usage, or connectivity. I know that that the Xbox360 had at least one processor change in its lifecycle so if the PS3 did the same then a slight upgrade in newer models might account for less hard locks. Also age and dust accumulation inside the system could cause heat issues causing crashes.

However, I'm guessing that one of the biggest reason for an extremely high disconnect rate is using WiFi instead of Ethernet to connect your device to the network. Everyone connected via WiFi is sharing the same communications channel and fighting for priority and bandwidth. Keep in mind that includes every cellphone, tablet, wireless device in your house. Also during the events there is more data being communicated to the game from the servers due to the sheer number of players and enemies active during the major. As this data gets larger and larger at some point the WiFi won't be able transmit it the your device in a timely enough fashion and the server will disconnect you due to lack of response. Don't get me wrong I still get disconnects and hard locks by using ethernet, but it is no where near the amount I get when running WiFi during these events.

I did notice a significant difference when I hard wired my console back in Aug. 2013.

I've also noticed a huge difference in stability since the Solstice event. DC's and hard freezes have quadrupled since then. For a short time before Solstice it was rather decent on PS3. Whatever patch they did during or right before Solstice ruined it.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? It happens to me like 10 times a day its annoying! I get disconnected durning arkfall finals, players spam with CF and BMGs. And they vanish 0.0 .

I agree with you on this. It seems post-solstice I have experienced more disconnects & hard-locks then during or prior.
