Back in now. Waited 10 minutes then it let me quit, how odd.
been a pain today. added to the occassional random mission architect freeze and crash i've rebooted my machine 4 times, logged in at least 8 and got quite shouty. i did manage to get a mission wrote for my arc though.
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Yeah ive started getting them since Issue 14 again.
I guess its just one of these things you will have take for granted with an Issue release.
Yes repeatedly.
Get a sound loop, then lock up for about 30-40 seconds, recovers for about 1-2 seconds then mapservers terminally.
I can usually complete an arc solo but in a team can be getting 2 or 3 mapservers in a single mish.

Think I've disovered the reason for this - it looks like one of the Windows Updates that Microsoft released over the weekend re-enabled Windows Defender which was hogging the majority of resources as it was then conflicting with the decent security software I have installed.
I quit the scan it was attempting to run after it had checked 15 registry settings in 6 hours - at that rate it would take between 30 and 100 years to complete and I'm not willing to wait that long for some reason. Then disabled it again as I had when I installed Vista in the first place.

Really?
Windows Defender is on here and hardly touching resources. I've done the updates this week too.
If that is the problem, then it's certainly not a global problem caused by Defender.

I don't think I have Windows Defender. I've got a lvl 50 one though! 
I've mostly just been on MA trying to make an arc, but the times it crashes are inconsistent. Happens often when loading an animation box of a character (like the "Fight A Boss" one) but more often than not is ok with me selecting custom Bosses. I've been on creating costumes/characters plenty of times, sometimes for a long time, and had it once or twice after only a very short time, then earlier today got it after just starting designing a costume. Then most recently I got freeze/crash whilst actually testing my mission, something I've not had before. Grrr. + Arg!

The problem isn't Windows Defender itself - its that it's not a good idea to have multiple software firewalls running on the same PC. I had Defender disabled because of its well documented ineffectiveness and poor performance record and was using another one so I wasn't happy when it got re-enabled. - If you don't have a better one installed its better than nothing (just).

Think you might be better off moving this to another section, say the tech/bug?
I've noticed a lot of crashes recetly, was wondering if it was my pc or network, nice to see I'm not the only one and that it is the game 
Don't worry you're not the only one, getting CTDs after every 3-4 hours of play (sometimes sooner), the game seems to have gotten a wee tad unstable since Issue 14...

A real showstopper!
Yep, getting Mapservers and freezes, and it got nothing to do with my system, internet service provider, or any local factors whatsoever. Nor is it affecting me alone. Similar maps, similar experiences.
It's not anything that is going on at my end, in any shape, form, or manifestation imaginable. No programs added or removed on the computer, or any system upgrades, or tweaking have any impact at all, because the problem is not at my end, or remotely close to my end.

But I'm not getting any of those problems you've just mentioned, which certainly indicates that the problem isn't at their end - it's either inbetween you and them or it's at your end.

Same maps, same problems. For all on those maps without exception. This is on Defiant. If it was only me, I would not write this.
That you personally have no problems, does in no way make this a localised issue, it is still affecting multiple persons simultaneously, from different locations in Europe.
It's slightly better after last maintenance I might add. Instead a trial crashed for us. :-p

Anyone else getting "Mapserver Disconnect"?
