Jump gates seem to contract to a small size and then grow to regular size, this has
happened several times. Logged out and logged back in still problem persists. Also
had periods were map would freeze then release, freeze then release, while
traveling from jump portal on 3-6. Have also adjusted settings for flash player,
i'm using Maxthon Web Browser. Pls Advise.

 

Hi there,

Apologies for the unacceptable delay of a moderator response in this thread.

Can i ask if you are still experiencing these issues?

It's the new animation effect of portals and not just 3-6. It's for every gate. Yes, every gate - including map gates, GG gates, Special event gates etc,. This has ben around ever since the Domination event.​

 

Thank you all for your input in to this matter.
As Maxthon is a good browser, it does have a few draw backs that have been recently realized when playing Dark Orbit.

I myself have switched from the Maxthon to using Commodo Dragon and Commodo Ice Dragon. On my system it appears to offer a better frame rate and less memory usage.

If your interested in trying one of these browsers to see if you have a different out come. It would be greatly appreciated.

Have a nice day.

This has been going on and was said to be being looked into. there is another tread about this posted by same OP

I gotta use those ASTRAEA lol thx

 

Like I stated, it's a new animation feature for portal gates. It's not a "bug".​

 

Yea, I got this problem too, and I use Chrome.
It doesn't bother me at all though, just gave a "2spooky4me" thing when I saw it a few times.
Nothing too big; should fix other bugs before these types

 

I'm not sure if I'm a ghost typing here or what. Read people.

It's a NEW ANIMATION FOR PORTALS. Since domination event, the portals were given added animation effects.​

Hades can you show us anything stating this as mods themselves are not sure of this. If you look at my other post that has a link to another thread Harley sees it and is looking into it. And if it is in fact a new animation then we should have the option to shut it off! But pls explain this i lagged at base in 2-7 as i was lagged i flew to port and the port was still contracting. Thow every alien that was close to base was still at base and so was all of my clan mates. Correct me if im wrong but if you lag everything on map sits still ,but really moving you just cant see it move. Why would the port have a way around this as you will still see it move. And if you sit at port to long you get the log out or new connection screen but port still contracts in background as everything else froze in time.?

 

Hi there,

I've just taken a tour of East Coast 1 and i didn't come across any new animations where the portal appears to shrink then enlarge. I only received the standard animation where the portal turns blue, and you get the whirl wind effect before being jumped into the new map.

Any video/screenshot would help me at least visualize the 'issue'.

I will try to find out whether there have been new animations added or whether this is something that needs to be reported as an issue (again, a video of the issue would be much appreciated).

I can't get a screenshot or video right now, but I see it happen all the time in galaxy gates. If you finish a wave right next to where one of the 2 portals spawn at the end of the wave you will see it.
Hades is right though, the shrink then enlarge is a proper animation that is meant to be in the game.

Sometimes it bugs out and stays huge and out of proportion. Maybe it only appears in gates with certain graphics settings too? If you don't have time I will have video up within the next couple hours.

 

Thank you Okapi, i managed to find the new animations going through a Beta gate.

They look like intentional animations, however i will still try to find out the full details of these animations and where they should be appearing within the game.

I use SRWare Iron - just for DO. Nothing else added on like I do with Chrome and Firefox to drag the game down with added data streams and blockers. Port jumping with images or no images shouldn't be a problem then.

 

Hi again

I have had a response and the 'new animations' should not be occurring within the normal maps. Due to this i will report this to be looked into and hopefully i will be able to get more details on these animations that you are experiencing.

If you have any screenshots/videos of these animations occurring in the regular maps then that would also be very helpful.
