Vent lock ups with large numbers of people

[twist]

Same problem here on both tiger and panther.. client freezes with beachball. no audio in or out. force quit and restart and everything is groovy... for a while. somtimes it is for the rest of the session, sometimes i will be repeating this process every 10 mins.

it doesnt seem to matter how many are on the server at the time or whether there are other apps open or not.

i have another guildie friend using the mac prototype running on a different mac using tiger and he has been complaining of the same problem.

sorry.. i am sure that this is not helping in the debugging as it is completely random as to when it happens.

Same here. Dual DSL connection, two different computers: iBook running OS 10.3.9 and Dual G5 running 10.4.3. Happens on both computers, seems to be random.

Is there any kind of log file I could provide to help out?

However... in my longer playing sessions I can say with comfort that every day that i play for long hours I will experience a silent lockup. No error messages or anything, just everything goes silent and after a while of wondering where my guildies chatter has gone I mouse over the vent window and get the beach-ball waiting mouse pointer. So, the simplest response is to rt.click on the vent icon in my dock, choose force quit and then after arguing with my OS whether this application closing was "unexpected" I restart vent and reconnect... one again on my way.

But I attributed it to some sort of resource leak because it's very consistent, it takes a long time to reproduce, and it's not an error that manifests any warnings, it just kinda, goes away and never comes back.

Thank for finally making a beta client for macs, I wish it had some more features, but I know that macs have long been ignored by voice-comm and it's nice to see us get a little attn

It's strange - I've never experienced a lockup, so I'm not sure what the trigger could be. However, our sessions are rarely more than 10 people.
