1,348 [SIMP] capncrunch21 Members 1,641 posts Report post #1 Posted February 15 Both times I have logged into the game today the game gets stuck on the 'loading...' screen with the spinning wheel of death. The ONLY way to get the game to load is to force quit the program. As soon as the 'Do you want to quit' window pops up, the port can finally be seen loaded into the background. What gives WeeGee? You do know this is the 21st century and there are infrastructures that use dedicated patch servers right? You shouldn't be using the live servers for this kind of thing in today's high tech environment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gets to the screen as you say with the spinning wheel of death and that is it. I have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up task manager to force close WOWS. Then I can relaunch and it will log in. It is a PITB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some, it's because those who aren't allowing pre-download eventually get a forced pre-download... and then still log into the game under the current, not future, version.

753 [-TRM-] xHeavy [-TRM-] Members 2,524 posts Report post #8 Posted February 16 The forums presented with a endless loop of various pages not related to logging into forums until after the 10.1 was downloaded and installed some time earlier. I have been to port without trouble within the game but do not play right now. Arkansas's total power generation is maxed out and we are running on imported power. We are usually the net generators and EXPORT power to other states. Well thats not possible tonight. So I don't risk gaming until the weather situation smooths out towards next week. We have a third storm coming on in a few hours with a foot expected by this time tomorrow. And low temps that are historic. There is a gas peaker unit thats been running flat out supplying 190 or so MW to my immediate area to support the 4 hydros, one coal and one nuc that is also maxed out. Fortunately they have not had to cut power yet. *Knock on wood. I play single player games or online games that do NOT PUNISH for DC due to any reason. Like a power outage mid battle. Wows does Punish for that with a short ban. Its unreasonable. However better weather is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might get turned pink for a couple of games, but you sure as hell don't get banned unless it happens enough that you eventually turn orange and even that isn't a ban, just restricted to co-op. And for those of you with log in issues when the patch is pre-downloading, have you gone into the WGC settings and lowered the download rate? At its default it will download at whatever you internet connection speed is which can all but cripple it making even web browsing seem like dial up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

951 [WOOKY] Dareios Beta Testers 1,830 posts Report post #12 Posted February 16 It was weird today. It would crash every single game in a division, and then get the eternal loading bug until hard reset. But it would work flawlessly when playing solo.

I absolutely believe it is related to this. Not a power outage issue, not a Steam issue, etc. Whatever absolute 1970's patch software WG is using is screwing things up. For those who aren't having issues, it's likely because their machines have already gotten through the patch download. Come on WG, when folks have pre-patch turned off - DON'T FORCE IT DOWN THE PIPE SECRETLY ANYWAY. Last patch I couldn't play the current version of the game until the new (days away) patch had pre loaded. I mean seriously, who are you putting in charge of this???

I just want to double-check that all my captains are reset... but even though the patch doesn't go live until tomorrow, I can't get into the game until I download the patch. I have the moronic pre-download option turned off for a reason, yet here I am, unable to play the game until a FUTURE patch has been downloaded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E: finally loaded after 5-10 minutes, I went to the kitchen to check on something and let it sit there spinning. Edited February 16 by KilljoyCutter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
