Good afternoon
Last night I connected to the Deep Island Shard for the first time sadly my experience was neither pleasurable and enjoyable due to the following issues.
1) The Deep Island servers kept disconnecting me. I continually received an Uru popup with this message: ‘There seems to be a problem with the online connection. Please quit and try again. #03 (TERMINATED: Server LogOff.
This continuously happened from around 22:00 last night until around 07:00 when I gave up and went to bed. It happed all over the place and so many times that I lost count. I have been disconnected in MOULa, TOC and Gehn a few times but not to the extent that I experienced last night and this morning.
These are a few examples of when and where it happened:
a) While connecting to my Relto. A few times I did not get to my Relto.
b) When linking out of an age or Ae’gura.
c) When clicking on my book case.
d) When clicking on a linking book
e) My avatar would freeze just after linking into an age or while running/walking in an age. This happened a lot in Teledahn.
f) After I had connected to Sphere 4 in Ahnnonay I was climbing down one of the two ladders to get to the journey chair I was disconnected so I was not able to click the journey cloth. After I reconnected when I used the journey cloth in the
Ahnonnay linking book I wound up in Space Ahnonnay (Sphere 3). When I used the linking picture in the book I wound up in Statue Ahnnonay (Sphere 4). I tried this a few times with the same result. I then went through the whole process of
accessing Sphere 4. This time I was able to get to the viewing room.
g) After I had done the routine of clicking the journey cloths in Crystal and Space Ahnnonay, and pulling the lever in the tower in Water Ahnnony. I then jumped into the water to find that the current was on. I linked to my Relto only to get stuck in
mid air. Uru had frozen. I could move the mouse cursor which was all I could do.
2) In Teledahn I was able to get into the big rusty bucket and make it into the big mushroom. However after I had arrived in the control room the rusty bucket did not drop me so I was stuck inside it. The only way I could get out of it was to link back
to Relto. I tried this six times with the same result each time. An odd thing was that every time I redid it there was a bucket in the right place but I had to move the lever near it a few times to get the counter to start.
Things stabilized from around 03:40 until just after 06:00. I was able to get to K’Veer and complete Er’cana to the point where I am waiting for my pellets to be made. I then started on Ahnnonay which is when the issues in 1(f) and (g) started. At around 06:40 I was disconnected again. I tried for around ten minutes to reconnect without success. At this point I admitted defeat and went to bed.
My PC specifications are as follows:
OS installed:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64 bit
Zorin OS 6 64 bit
Linux Mint 16 64 bit
Gigabyte GA-B57M-D3H Ivy Bridge 64 bit UEFI compliant motherboard
Intel CI5 3330 3.0Ghz 6MB LGA cpu
2x 2TB SATA hatd drives. Windows 7 is installed on one of them.
1x 1TB SATA hard drive. Ubuntu, Zorin and Mint are installed on it.
GeForce GT630 2GB 128 bit graphics card
Soundblaster Titanium Extreme 64 bit soundcard
32GB memory DDR3 1333
2x SATA DVD rewriters
Huawei E220 3G modem
I also have an external 1TB HP portable hard drive.
I will greatly appreciate any help and suggestions that would help me sort this out. I am not looking forward to a constant repeat of all this.
An odd thing happened when I was in K'Veer I could view the Myst book. When I clicked the linking image I received an error message afterwhich I could no longer view it. I was wondering why it is there if you cannot use it.
