When I'm in the middle of the game EVERYTHING suddenly freezes...I can still move and fire...but it's like everyone is frozen which is really weird. I do no damage...I've even moved real close to an opposing mech and fired everything and no damage...only lazers work in this limbo and NOT LRM or SRMs...this has happened only recently.

Has this happened to anyone else?

[Orzorn]

Its happened before, but not often at all. Maybe once every few weeks.

Generally, its due to a server de-sync. Your client no longer updates along with the server, so everybody stops and you deal no damage, because your client is not in contact with the server in a proper way anymore.

Oh, packetloss by sloppy isp or wireless connection ? Sure this happened to me on multiple occasions in many onlinegames

Maybe play on wire, yound jedi ^^

Your post contradicts itself. You say EVERYTHING is frozen at first, but then you mention you can still move and fire? Which is it?

I know what he is talking about. Its almost like rubberbanding from Diablo 3 :/ I started happening to me last night would be turning to shoot someone and then they would be gone and I have not turned.... going to try a re-install.

[elbloom]

reinstall to solve a problem coming from the wireless connection isn´t going to be helpful

[WhiteRabbit]

yeah that happened to me as well... though it was always followed by -server connection lost-

[Chavette]

You have been disconnected.

I'm moving this to the Player Support forums, for Player-to-Player Q&A.

Also, if you can move, but everything else is still or walking-in-place, that means your computer is no longer receiving position updates about anything else on the field... you've probably suffered a disconnection from the server.

I had something like this earlier happen to me today. I don't know if it was the 4 FPS bug or what, but everything was moving in slow motion. It was really weird, but I could still move and shoot and the like. Has anyone else had or know anything about this?

Yea, it would be better if I was actually just disconnected. But in my case everyone is still moving, but the action I performed was not registered? So turning to shoot someone I do it then it lags then it shows me walking forward, I know a couple guys were talking about this last night. Not sure what it is tho.

LOL. Everything freezes but me. But It's like being in some kind of Time freeze limbo where you're the only one who can move. Cue Twilight Zone score

@ Proserity Park : If it's a server disconnect or failure...is it on my end or the server?

[Felicitatem Parco]

I wouldn't be able to say who's end is "at fault..." Sorry.

[Delas Ting Usee]

Is it a bug then? This is a very recent phenomenon and has never happen before today and I'vebeen playing for a month and a half now. It has since happened three times.

[Redshift2k5]

This is NOT a "recent" phenomenon. This used to happen in the closed beta as well, as far back as June/July iirc.

Like so many other issues, this seems to be down to packet loss between the client and the server (same issue that caused all the broken mechlab problems I think)

Net-code, net-code, net-code....with out good net-code, all sorts of bad things happen.....
