I have noticed in the last few days that about 1 out of every 20 times I access any option in the Harvester menu, that I crash to the desktop. Sometimes I get some runtime error, and other times it just locks up.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Yesterday's patch introduced something to the client that has caused me to crash 4 times. I never crashed before that. Not once. In every case I was running and turning. Maybe coincedence since, well, you do a lot of running and turning in this game. But it's a disappointing regression. This and some other general gameplay issues are making me wonder how well these patches are actually being tested.

I crash to desktop frequently when doing my harvester runs, it seems to happen more often when accessing the wind generator. My wife has noticed the same problem from time to time.

If I go to 'Operate Machinery', there's about a 1 in 20 chance that I will get the 'Connection to SWG Lost!' message, not a crash to desktop.

I can tell when it's about to happen if it spends more than 1 to 1.5 seconds opening up the operation screen. If I close the box fast enough as it's trying to open, then I can save myself from the crash. As I do this, I get like 4-5 seconds of lag, then a sudden influx of all the chat messages that have taken place. Also, my bandwidth spikes to over 150k/s when this occurs.

I'm with you on this one. Since the last patch, I was getting about 1 in 10 immediate crash to the desktop and runtime error. Stinky.

Ialso get "Connection to SWG Lost!" when checking harvesters, after clicking Operate Machinery.

I check over 20 each day and I'm sure to get one or two disconnects. For a while, it only seemed to happen on personal harvesters, but it happened today on a medium harvester for the first time.

I get this too, but it applies to accessing the bazaar or the bank as well. I'm beginning to think it has more to do with failure to access a database somewhere than a harvester bug. Sorry I don't have any hard data for you...
