The same happens to me. I think it could be one or multiple factors, with endless possibilities such as...
- A newer graphics process that gets stuck while loading strangely-oriented or strangely-meshed parts.
- A content loading problem in the client.
- A failure in the joints service.
- A problem with objects which are not "Archivable."
- Too many scripts initializing simultaneously on the client.
- Any script which tampers with the NetworkReplicator, NetworkClient, or NetworkServer.
- Any script which attempts to alter the client's application settings.
- Any instances on the service level or on the DataModel level.
- Bad client settings.
- Any conflicting applications installed and running on the client's computer.
- A problem with time or DataModel synchronization between the server and the client.
- Bad hardware, especially gateway-related malfunctions.
I wish the tech-support reps would at least read these forums, and then attempt to say something like "We're working on the problem!" or "Try [blah] and maybe that will help!" or "The platform has been updated, go ahead and reinstall it and it should work fine!" It would be quite beneficial for them to send the users PMs to help troubleshoot.
The site should have a live chat with tech support reps for major problems (with a way for the reps to kick people off who just don't know how to use the site). |
