boarding glitch, fixed?

[Edward Edgemenace]

When I board my own ship, I never get stuck on the loading screen.

When I GO TO someone in crew, or a friend, or guild-mate, I never get stuck on the loading screen.

When I board from a dinghy, 40% of the time, I get stuck on the loading screen.

Memory of the computer for the person boarding the ship and getting the glitch (as reported from Windows Task Manager PERFORMANCE tab) is irrelevant. This is very clearly a server-side bug. F12 is no help in this situation. Perhaps, if the ship's captain's computer memory is exhausted, the person boarding the ship is more vulnerable to the glitch, but I've been unable to control such variables consistently, to determine if that indeed is the case.

Regardless, the "loading screen" bug only manifests, when boarding someone else's ship from a dinghy. Use "SEARCH FOR A CREW" then "GO TO" to avoid the problem.

<grumble grumble>If Disney would fix the key-reader to work efficiently, instead of consuming 100% CPU, the garbage collector thread would not be permanently pre-empted. If the garbage collector thread was allowed to function, most remaining lag/performance with the game would simply be eliminated. Let me at the code and I'll fix it.</proprietary grumble>
