Topic: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Lately, many people have died exiting Gamma terminals due to the black screen.  If enemy is present, you die BEFORE you appear on terrain!  You don't have a chance to defend.  You're dead before you get a chance to click on a mod.  HOW FAIR IS THIS???

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Same for teleports and logins on terrain. That was always presenting tho, Gamma lags just make in worser.

Have a productive day, runner!
R.I.P. Chenoa, you'll never be forgotten.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

It all started for me a week or so ago with the 13-12-14 patch if I'm not mistaken. I crashed very rarely before it and It's almost standard procedure now.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Is that what happened today?  Because we saw you move w/ instability still on.  And ems w/ fast lock boosters hurt.  yarr

You should consult your leader about what happens when you sit down to put your pants on your head around EM turrets. He's quite good at it.

It won't matter. If you crash you won't be back online well after any protection falls over. Luckily it's all reimbusable.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Close the squad window before undocking. Also, randomly pressing the wasd keys on a black screen is a bad idea.

Undocking out of a station you know is surrounded by turrets carries risk so your stuff should definitely not be reimbursed.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Yes something is wrong with the squad window too. We have made sure all of the members in our squad have it closed when undocking but even then the crashes happen. Might be because the amount of names in the squad, might be something else - needs further testing.

Just wondering why you think it shouldn't be reimbused? If the game doesn't crash, you can just dock up or go behind something to not get shot. If the game crashes you have no chances.

Zoom agrees with us here and all the bots that I know of exploding because crash are reimbused and that has been the code of practice for as long as I remember.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

If it's a legitimate crash with an error report sent out then a reimbursement is fine. If it just takes a long time to load, that's just tough luck and no reimbursements should be given, if only to prevent abuse of the system.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Yes, I agree with you here. All the client crashes we encountered were the ones where the client froze and eventually crashed and closed. By the time you got back, you could just loot the can.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

He didn't crash he did the same thing as pushing wasd while jumping through a beacon which has been known to keep you moving, OR he didn't realize the terminal was secured and got wtfpwned by EMs with 2 second lock times under syndicate protection and he wants his stuff back.  I'm leaning towards the later.  He didn't crash.  He got PVE'd lol.

I have no idea what he did. All I know is that those who actually crashed have gotten reimbusements and it's easy enough to spot the difference by Zoom.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

While we are discussing it.  Animation for turrets are not always working too.

Stop undocking at a death trap terminal.

That is how you dont die.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

What happened to the "PvP reimbursement policy"  ??

Exceptions for the "beloved" again? 

Goo ZOOM goo!!!  This is great PR for Steam.  NOT!

Some people play checkers, some play chess...  Once in a while you can find a guy playing GO.  The former is prey, the secondary is a teacher, and the latter is a general.

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

I thought turrets are PVE? smile

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

Correct, turret kills are not PvP kills (obviously, as they are not players).

1. Undock and get blown up by turrets.
2. File ticket and threaten to unsub unless your PVE loss gets replaced/cry a river about black screen.
3. You get to keep your stuff from a terminal surrounded by enemy turrets.

GG!

Re: Black screen upon exiting Gamma terminal

I watch them undock, they break their stability and die.

If you ask me, dont break your stability at a R*peCage station, ever.

Burial undocked a bunch of times and is alive and well.
