[Responded] Stuck at 98%

This 'Stuck at 98%' is happening to me today as I try to enter Serpent Spine mines.

100% annoying.

 

Small note again.

So when I got the 98%stuck thingie for Owl's Head I did two things and the issue went away for me:
1. Toggle the "Aggressive loading"
2. Switch to "Private" multiplayer mode

At 98% is when it is loading scene assets.
In the video settings you have a setting called something like "Aggressive loading".
That setting is there to pre-load as much content as possible before opening the scene for you.

When you are in party/multiplayer mode then on top of loading assets some of the assets/locs etc are distributed through p2p. Which means that if the first player to open the scene lives far away from you (from a ping pov) then that can delay/stall the loading.

But it could of course also be some network stuff and my changing the settings just coincided with the resolution of that.

I tried as you suggested. I am still at 98% 'Equipping Avatars'

It's only the SS Mines this is happening for me. Guess I may give them a miss til this is resolved.

 

Stuck at 99% - progress at least! Going from Greymark Forest to Hidden Vale. Always seems to be stuck while 'equipping avatars' if that's any help!

 

Same issue for the last 2 days, cannot get into owl's head 90% of the time regardless of method, direct, tele or recall. Every now again it will enter but it seems to be random. Last night I spent 3 hours trying different scenarios to no avail.

 

I assembled (finally) a refurbished new computer that now runs this game at blinding fast speed (on the lowest settings, still figuring what settings I now can use) And loaded up the game and the first thing I did was run and try to enter Owls Head from the overland map ...... and it locked up at the 98%

I tried again, it of course then loaded just fine. Heh

 

Had this happen to me this morning and evening. I switched to beautiful and was able to get right in.
