    the freezes.

    as i'm typing this, poxnora is frozen at the shrine explosion of todays first daily. i can't close it, even with task manager so now i must shut down and reboot the pc. but this happens a couple times a day, most often when i sign on and try to start a daily, it will freeze right there.

    also to mention signing on. i put in my name and password and then get on of 3 error messages why it won't log me in. sometimes i have to hit 'ok' and then 'login' over and over for 5x, 10x or more before it finally makes the connection.

    while you guys are doing lots of great things with the game, stuff like this really should have priority over stuff like making coragh pink, or changing his name. those little details are so un-important at the moment, but not being able to login or finish a game, to me, seems top priority.

    i know you guys are relying on us to report every bug, but if you guys just turn on a couple computers and play the game, you'll find them yourselves. try different os's, try different computers, whatever, but really you should be able to see for yourselves a lot of these stupid glitches. and seriously, put the cosmetic changes and reskins etc. on the back burner until you have an operational product.

    It would really help if you posted your system specifications. I haven't had any client crashes in a long time. That being said, there does seem to me a memory leak since the client will begin to stutter after being open for a while.

    A daily froze on me yesterday, I closed Pox and reopened and it didn't freeze again.

    We are currently looking into a possible memory leak, but this is the first report I have a freeze! If you could post your system sepcs that would be helpful!

    I just had the same issue after completing a dailly, I blew the shrine up with a charged frost cone then the client completely froze out, I was able to close it with task manager however, but it took a minute to react after the freeze. I managed to log back in ok and it has shown as the daily completed.

    I run Windows 7 ultimate with a 3.4ghz amd phenom II x4 965 quad core cpu, 4gb ram and a radeon hd7750 2gb gddr5 gpu

    additional info, the screen kinda just went black when it was supposed to hit the victory screen, i could move the pox mouse but do nothing else until I closed it with task manager

    Edit: just completed the 2nd daily with no problems

    I also had a freeze the first time I completed a daily after the last patch. I somehow managed to kill the process but it was a pretty nasty lock.

    Windows 8.1 on an i7 vivobook with intel hd4000 integrated gpu and 8gb ram.

    I reported a freeze yesterday. From what I can tell, the client only freezes when the KF shrine distruction animation plays.

    Laptop specs
    Intel Core i7 3540M @3.00 GHz quad core
    8GB RAM
    Win 7 64bit

    I looked into this and have found a reliable reproduction step thanks to darklord48's comment. This is definitely an odd one and we will post here if we need more information from all of you.

    I just played the second Ash the Bandit Prince, on Legendary, which I had the issue with previously, and it did not freeze this time. Was there a server side issue? I didn't notice an update for the client.

    We just deployed a hotfix for the end match freeze: http://forums.poxnora.com/index.php?threads/hotfix-patch-notes-april-3rd-2014.2107/#post-24390
    If you run into any other game freezes that can be reproduced be sure to let us know.
    The memory error should be a different issue that we are still looking into, unless it stops occurring for you after this patch. Let us know if that happens.
