[Info] Game Crashing/Lagging on Serverbrowser

[Zetsumei]

Please remember to read the steamgroup updates
http://steamcommunity.com/games/RO2/announcements/detail/1351300309590726458

First I would like to thank everybody for their pateince once again as we worked last night to get the beta out. It was a crazy mad rush here at the office, and it was great to see players in the game an enjoying it last night!

But our work is not yet done. Several issues have been highlighted that we wouldn't have found without this beta test. First and foremost is the crash in the server browser. This appears to happen because of the ammount of servers and players. We are looking into it now and it should be among the first things fixed.

Our install script for the game also did not appear to function last night and we are working on getting that corrected today. As such there are a few files you should run manually until we get that addressed.

So tripwire is busy with this. Please keep your posts regarding this issue in one thread rather than making 1 million new threads. As other issues that are less known are completely getting overshadowed by the massive amount of people with the issue.

---------------------------------

For now things you can try:

• 
  First try the suggestion here (worked for me):
  http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=58308
  (you can find roengine.ini in mydocuments\mygames\rogame\config)
  
• 
  If you have friends playing this game you can try to join through them.
  
• 
  Try manually joining a server (use a game tracker to get an ip)
  to join a server type into the console:
  open serverip:serverport
• 
  Try alt tabbing right at the moment its retrieving the server list, watch a youtube video and then alttab back.

Sticky?

Indirect fix if you really can't get it working (I had issues all morning before I gave up); just join the game via someone else in a group or your friends list in Steam. No risk of a server browser crash as you bypass it entirely, downside evidently being that browsing friends servers isn't quite as intuitive. Still, what I had to do to get some games going.

 

[Zetsumei]

added some temp fixes.

My friend had to copy the masterserver files to the config directory to get access to the servers.

[Zetsumei]

Here is a dump from a crash after Exiting a map load using F10 - Went back to SB, hanged for a few seconds then mouse could move and I was bumped to Desktop.

Thx for the support!! The game is perfect! :IS2:

 

[Tripper]

Just wanted to let you know that the first fix, the .ini file edit, solved the server browser lag for me. Thanks for pulling this together, Zets!

I can play the game now wit this fix, but still have browser lag.

I'm most impressive about sound so far - it's FANTASTIC!!

If this is related to the background video showing, is there a setting to turn it off and just display a static (blank) screen? I tried deleting the video but it just blinks and still lags in the browser.

I remember like Empire TW having insane CPU spikes on my PC showing Bink videos in the menus, until I turned them off.

EDIT: Well I got back from work, my RO2 beta updated, and now the server list is MUCH better. Whatever you did it seems to have worked, for me at least

This is really doing me in.
I was in the closed beta a few weeks ago, and the game just ran fine, with an occasion crash, but no worries there.
Ever since the open beta last week, I just keep crashing every 5 minutes. Or less. More like 10 seconds some time. I've tried basically anything that's been posted on this forum; change this here, change that there.

Managed to fix the server browser crashing by downloading the steamserver files and stuff, so that worked. But now when I try to load a map, it just crashes. So back to the forums... tweak and mess some more with it. No change at all.

Figured I'd redownload the complete game from Steam. And after that it even got worse... So then I try this ( http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=57699 ), and now the game won't even boot at all... Halp?

 

[Turbolover]

Right ... I don't know what I did, maybe I didn't do anything at all, but the game seems to load again. Maps seem to load again. It's just that I crash again ever 3 minutes. Meh.

Strange though, previous builds (before the open beta) seemed to run smooth for me, hours at an end...

Maybe I'll just wait for the next build.

These are my dump files, there are various times when it crashed, mainly while on the loading screen after selecting a server, but sometimes just aster starting it on steam, and once mid-game.
