Leaving arena hangs game
« on: July 23, 2010, 02:20:09 PM »
This is happened every time windowed mode has been attempted.

I can enter an arena fine and everything works as apparently designed. When I attempt to leave the arena the game hangs in limbo until I CTRL-ALT-DEL to kill it from there. I need to restart AH to get into an arena.

In 1.98 I always had to alt f4 from the last window to quit AH, online or offline.
Now I have to alt f4 from inside the game to quit AH.  I do have a much older system and vid card so it may not be relevant to those running systems more up to date. I am running the HiRes vid pack although it was happening in the standard vid as well.
As always happy with the game advances and many thanks.

Just to mention, I'm running Vista. I've never been able to Alt-Tab out of the game at all, that will cause a complete hang and failure.

BTW, just to add to this. With the last update, leaving the arena sometimes hangs the game and sometimes returns to the arena page. However if I choose a new arena from this, the game will crash and reset my video settings from wide screen (3 screens) to only my center screen.

The only way to reliably pick another arena is to close the AH client, reopen it and go back to choose the new arena.

I'm having a similar problem. When I first log on things are fine.  If I then change to another arena I get disco'd right after the clipboard map comes up. If I try and log right back on I get disco'd again. I have to reboot in order to get logged on.
I've noticed this since Vers 2.0 came out.

Bumping as this still seems to be a problem.

This is still a problem with the last update. I still need to close the AH client every time I leave an arena, restart it and re-enter.

It would be nice to know if this makes the radar as something that is being considered and you need more information or is it not reproduceable or ?

Without some comment its impossible to know if its worthwhile to keep mentioning it as useful information. I don't want to waste your time or mine.
