re-install of beta patch seems to have fixed it - presuming something went screwy with the initial install for now :)

The (almost) same thing happened to me. Except instead of freezing, my client just crashes to desktop w/o warning. I'm going to try reinstalling, and post the result.

No, reinstalling didn't fix it.

I'm running
Software:Universal Client
Version Number:49.4

This started happening 2 days ago. I figured it was a problem with the servers, but I seem to be wrong. Space works just fine, stations, warping, etc don't give any problems.

And, since I can't edit a post, I should mention that I tried landing on republic, zion, and some other world (biplane world, I believe, which is where I first noticed the problem).

The ATractor client also causes the same problem. The client loads, when I click "zion" I crash immediately.

Are error logs generated anywhere?

You're one up on the rest of us, who just crash to desktop outright.

mmm.. all very curious - completely unable to replicate any problems landing on worlds here, of course...
I've gone through all the things that are happening at that stage and found a few bits that are, maybe, questionable. Its possible ive fixed something that will cure the problem in 0.49.7, more likely, whatevers causing your stuff not to work will instead flag up one of the many extra error messages ive added. When ya get the new version, try it out and lemme know if its any different..
( thats assuming you're all still gettin the same problems in 0.49.6 ? )

Marking this as fixed for now per note on other bug regarding crash to desktop when connecting to worlds. ( http://www.theuniversal.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4303 )
Please reply on the other thread if you're still having problems with this after upgrading to 0.49.8.3 or higher..
