This has very likely been reported to death but I am relatively sparingly getting this error:

I believe it’s been mentioned before and specifically it is only occurring on nVidia GPUs (though I might be wrong about that) but nevertheless, be aware that you may experience sudden BSODs and I don’t think a fix has been pushed through yet given that it’s a beta.

This error does not occur when playing other games or using other programs.

Why does your participation drop to 0% the second you join a new instance of the same map?

You spend your time on the map doing an event train, hit an appreciable percentage and then realize that you aren’t doing the meta-event on that map. So you taxi to a different instance of the same map and lose your participation.

That seems so…unfair? You could argue, “Well just start your own taxi,” but it’s far easier to keep everyone consolidated as it (generally) means that event is more likely to succeed.

I understand changing maps entirely (going from Brink to Basin for instance) but why would you drop your previous hour’s worth of progress when you haven’t actually changed maps?

I’d ask if the map is going to be coordinated in map chat but the fact is that things change and it doesn’t always work out that way.
