Hi guys, I'm running 3DX on 2 pc's - one of them works fine, no dropouts, decent connection, no lag etc. However, on my second PC, I'm having a lot of trouble connecting. I can login to the game, login to a character, and easily get to my apartment. It's fine up to that point, until I try to enter a public area such as the nightclub, or sinclub. At this point, it goes to the loading screen (With the image, random gameplay tip and spinning indicator), and the indicator will spin about half a turn and then stop. The game will hang at that point for anywhere up to 30 seconds, during which time the music from the area will often start playing fine. Eventually, after hanging for quite some time, the area will load, and I will be teleported into it, devoid of all other players, showing a "Connection Lost" error. Clicking this boots me back to character select. Every so often, very very rarely, I am able to enter a public area on this PC. When I do, I experience no connection issues, no lag, no problems. Which leads me to think it's got to have something to do with connecting to the servers? Another issue that makes me think this is when I'm at my apartment, if I choose to add a partner, it will hang for anywhere up to 30 seconds, before they appear. They usually appear and everything inside the apartment works fine when they do. I wonder if this is also a "connecting to server" issue, as I imagine they download the character data from server, and everything after that is "offline" in your apartment? I don't know. Just a theory. I've checked out my PC's firewall settings, and the game still has "Connection Lost" issues even when I've completely disabled the firewall. I thought it might have been a graphics card issue, but I've just swapped that out and it's still a problem. I'm still able to play on one of my PC's, but it'd be nice to get it going on both! Any ideas? Thanks!
