Yeah Ive had that happen as well
Hey, I'm just glad to hear others have had it happen too and it's a known bug. Phew... what a relief.
Just happened several times now after the last crash. I suppose it's when the client is trying to update the server with the latest goings on and gets stuck in traffic.
Can confirm, I have great internet (true fiber) and I keep freezing and disconnecting.
Why does the Server Status say OK?

It can sometimes be fixed at source and take a while to circulate the distribution server internets.
Not exactly same. but then i am on windows 10 and i have this issue with EVERYTHING at some point, firefox or chrome, it seems more common with a fullscreen app (that is a true one; not one like fifa that pretends to be fullscreen but is really borderless windowed maxed). you get everything freeze like a task in windows just started and is hogging all the cpu. sometimes you get a little sound like its finishing playing a segment of audio, then that stops. you can alt tab - but only to task view. when you let go it stays there OR it can go back to the fullscreen game you alt tabbed out of, still frozen. sometimes you cant even alt tab. Win key tab will sometimes bring up a second desktop but the first will still be frozen. ctrl alt del will bring up the blue screen but if you try to select task manager to see what if anything is hogging the cpu, it either wont open until everything unfreezes, or it opens blank with no information showing - until everything unfreezes.
and then suddenly after a random time of up to a minute it will all work again, and your alt tab that didnt work will probably get you killed unless you were logged out by the other end of the game connection.
and i cant figure out whats doing it. i cant even make guesses. it happens with all games and applications not just elite. fifa doesnt do it... well not in the same way. sometimes you will be playing and the commentary stops but you can still play the game until it comes back. but if you pause the menu wont come up, and it will go screensaver mode after a while and then eventually when the 'oress any key' come up the fifa freeze is over. or if you kept playing the game, suddenly the commentary it SHOULD have played then plays out of the right place. so you get the goal commentary when no goal has been scored in the time since it stopped...
its frustrating. right now windows 10 notepad is bugged even - word wrap DOESNT. it will wrap in the middle of words. but it worked fine until 1809 and the only change i can see apart from the bug is they added to edit menu 'search with bing.' which is redundant since you can type in the search box on the task bar to search with bing, and are probably more used to doing so.
i blame windows. and microsoft. just been disconnected for no reason again.
Horrible rubberbanding, here.
I am one of probably many players of ED who have long since moved on to other games but nevertheless thought I would take a look at the new patch and consider a return.
I have, to date, managed 10 seconds in game before it quits. Usually it's closer to 3 seconds.
I live in the UK, I have a high-spec PC, I have never had a problem before.
Frontier, given the amount of time since the patch: this performance is hardly encouraging to old, or I'm guessing, to new, customers ...

I had a crash early on, so I updated my graphic card's driver, and things have been fine since (albeit with the two short lived freezes I've seen).
I'm on fiber, next to one of the planet's biggest internet nodes, and the game has frozen on me three times today.
I suspect it's the incredible number of people coming out for the new live build. Frontier's servers are not having a good day.
When I do get in the game - what surprises me is the number of USS, NCP's and New Scenarios within a system. We're talking about 20 times the amount of USS's and similar multiple of additional NCP's, maybe even more.
With the servers having to spawn and track these 'events' no wonder players are having trouble logging in or crashing within the game. I wonder if the programmers forgot to scale back the 'in-game events' for the production system?

Makes you wonder: there's a lot more going on in the Galaxy in this update, and they've yet to fully implement Squadrons with Fleet ships next year, and from what we read in the forum, the existing multicrew isn't up to spec yet, either.
Also on fibre, 1080 card with latest drivers, gaming rig, no third party apps running, zero issues with this or any other game in the past, ED 3.3 crashes within 10 seconds for me even if I'm still at the Main Menu. Every single time since patch.
(But on the positive side, I've reacquainted myself with the Single Player Training option in the Launcher. Yes, those toxic waste canisters do still exist...)
I'm seeing much more instability than usual in 3.3, but in my case this is a crash about every 8-10 hours of play, rather than every 10 seconds.
Hi Morbad.
After reading your post I stopped watching Walking Dead and tried again. I actually managed to press on (not activate, just press on) Starport Services before the crash.
Didn't time it but in my head around 12 seconds. New personal best!
Anybody else getting these "Failed to connect to Comms Server" in the Chat box in game?
