Jumps crashing?

Unrecoverable Transaction Server Error

I have been playing for about an hour this morning. I have been kicked with transaction server error 5 times in that period.
Time for a break.

Yeaaaah, we're back in the busyland...

To me it seems clear that frontier's servers are overloading, as the crashes occur during peak times :p

ps. How to delete attachments from post?

I blame the Thargoids.

I was 4.5Kly out on my first real survey and started getting the crashes then the dreaded "Cannot Find Commander Data" error. Filed a ticket, got put back in roughly the same area of space, however with the reports of continued instability I do not want to risk my precious data and will wait until normality is restored.
 
I had the Transaction server error three times today. Always while I'm in Witchspace. Made me jump the first time, as I was just reaching over for a coffee and 'CRACK'.
 
looks like it reared its ugly head again today. Last night they sorted it out and was able to play about 4 hours no problem. Now its back same for me as everyone else.
 
Now I'm getting this every 5 jumps or so. What the heck is happening?
.
So on the main menu screen, it lists the name of the server you are connected to. It says I'm on EDServer#525. Is this THE server or is someone on another one?
.
I wonder if the larger than normal number of people fog horning at a frantic pace is what is overloading the server...

Hehe, I had 8 connection errors from 07:00-13:00 then 18 from 13:00-15:00, with increased frequency. Restarting ED made no difference, so I would guess it is a sever load issue.
 
3rd time I've had my "load failed" fixed... I made a jump to a previously visited system which was fine, but jumping to an unexplored system (and most likely no one has been to before) got the transaction error and now I've got load failed again... two step forwards, one step back...
 
Mine seems completely random but I wonder if you're on to something Double. Could this be just a standard database double-tap when multiple commanders are jumping into similar systems and trying to procedurally create an unexplored system? Or maybe just overloading the transaction server with the volume of new requests?
 
seriously cant play now
took me 3 attempts to jump outta system, then ploted 3 jump route, crashed on second jump, ploted sigle jump, crashed...

I am around 20K LY away from civ. I wonder how I will return. The thing is happening from friday... well it seems that I will be left in the deep space, nevermind found couple of EAW's so got place where to live :cool:

I was trying to soldier on despite frequent crashes until "LOAD FAILED: There was a problem retrieving Commander data from the server".
So now I can't play at all until support manage to restore my account - which hopefully they can actually do.

So yeah, if you are having problems (presumably everyone?) maybe you should play it safe and wait until the servers are working properly again rather than risk your Commander save.

The only times I have been having issues are when everyone playing the game has been having issues. I have been playing today with no issue at all scanning systems and jumping between them. Not sure why this is seemingly effecting some people more than others.....
 
My brother finally convinced me to try WoT (he's been trying a couple of years...)

I've had to bump up my suspension of disbelief several notches to stop my brain melting but it's kinda fun.

Fortunately I've got the house to myself tonight, so there's noone to be upset at the occasional scream of "HIMMELSDORF!"

Expect to see the burning wrecks of Jasmine_Silver strewn across the European server.


I need to make an EU character. I am interested in the different META in EU.

I'm a bad NA player. I used to play on a WGLNA bronze league team. (2nd tier minor leagues)

I go by The_Coward (and changed my Elite name to be the same actually.) The name is the opposite of how I play tanks. I am going to sign up for Armored Warfare soon.

No disconnects so far on Monday morning (US time, Evening European time.)

Planetary scans sometimes still take 2 scans but discovery scans seem to be working fine.

It appears that these disconnects are based on server lag. The more people on the more disconnects and the more people on the more often the scans have to be done twice (because the server isn't responding to the client that the scan was complete fast enough. By the end of the second scan the server has responded to the original request.) Just a theory of course.
