Off line to On-Line switch
« on: July 30, 2006, 01:56:04 PM »
I don't know if it's just my computer or not, but I've found that if I go to practice on the off-line drones then switch to online without completely exiting the game, it totally locks my computer up and I have to turn the power off and re-boot.  Has happened several times.

I'm talking about if you quit the off-line session, and the brown box comes up that allos you to select on or off line session.  If I choose on-line from there after using off-line, I get the freeze up mentioned above.

I believe this is the reason why you goto the desktop after a 'disco' and have to start over instead of just choosing the other server.
It lets the game start fresh with no residuals of the session you were disco-ed from.

I've gotten in the habit of closing AH completely even when I change arenas.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
