Game client keeps locking up (Steam version)

DotDash · 06-19-2022, 07:05 AM

Hello,

As of this morning, the following happens when attempting to play the game:

- Game launches OK, and login is successful.
- As soon as I perform an action which interacts with the servers (hovering over a card, opening a pack) the game client freezes up (clock stops ticking.)
- The client cannot be closed out via the 'X' at the top right of the window, and this doesn't even promt Windows to generate the 'this program is not responding' dialogue box.
- This means I have to close the client via task manager.

I reproduced the issue four times in a row, rebooted, and found the issue was still there. If I wait long enough (in this example I tried to open a pack), the client generates an all-black screen with a 'waiting for server' message.

Edit: this message remained on screen for 20 minutes without resolving. I closed the client again.

Oh man, this is happening to me all morning too. I'm not using the the Steam version either

Same here on all counts, except I have the webstore version of the game, not Steam. I managed to put a few cards up for auction at one point, but then it reverted back to hanging every time I took any action. The main game appears to be functioning fine in offline play.

Good Morning All

Very frustrating this morning trying to play PT. Game keeps freezing. Had to restart computer 4 times and each time once I go back into PT the screen just freezes.

Seems fixed now, for whatever reason...
