Hey all,
So, I entered my first Non-Human Signal Source this evening, just to check it out before fully equipping my ship. I enter the instance, see I'm somewhat out-matched and go to retreat. The game crashes. Crashes are rare in ED for me these day - never once had an Orange Sidewinder or any other coloured snake - so there's a chance it was a Driver issue as the crash was hard no errors / messages. Basically the screen froze, all input dead, couldn't Alt-Tab so I hit the reset button after, I guess 20 seconds or so.
Anyway, I load back into the game, expecting just to be floating in space but nope, I'm dead. I wondered if my ship persisted and died while I was re-launching the game? I thought in the event of a Crash (like I said, rare for me) or disconnect (once common, but on Fibre now so hopefully it'll be rare going forward) that the player's ship didn't persist in game. Is this an attempt to prevent "logging" when death is near? I thought I was perfectly safe at the time the game CTD'd, though I had taken a chunk of damage.
I've got the rebuy money, many times over, so that's not an issue. It's just that this is my third death since starting - I play very very cautiously, call it roll-play if you will - and the first two were both down to (at the time) known bugs, and I hope this one wasn't too. Sure, my game / PC crashed, stuff happens, but it'd be a shame if that got me killed in-game.
Like I said, deaths are VERY rare for me, none in literally years, so I'm not sure what's supposed to happen in the event of a crash like this. I've had disconnects under my old connection (it was rubbish at times) but always seems to be restored in a safe place, floating in space, where I'd perhaps been in a CZ or HazRes etc. at the time of the disconnect.
Just wondering what happened. I guess it's possible the game / PC crashed, but carried on running for a bit - though the display was frozen - before the game task actually closed. It's just a shame to have my first death in ages under somewhat suspicious circumstances when I wasn't actually playing the game lol.
Scoob.
