Archive missions not starting

**Mindsweep**

We are still having problems starting the archive missions, not just one of the archives but many of them. Any updates 9mmfu?

Hey all as was reported recently that some or many people get the "my connection is freaking out" message when they try to start an archive mission. Now most of these missions can be done anywhere while a few are district specific. However I need some help looking into this because they all start fine for my team and me. So I would like some specific information about what is happening around this problem.
Where were you? do a /whereami and distict?
What is your rep for all 3 orgs when it occured?
Which mission is giving you this problem?
Have you completed any mission previously during the current login?
Were you on a team previously?
And add anything else you might think will help to repro this problem. If nothing else I can visit live and give it a try.
Thanks all for the help.

Pretty much anywhere out of Richland, if I start a Archive it won't let me. (Which absolutely sucks, because I vastly prefer to mission downtown). It's really frustrating.

Here's the one I just had:

Rep: 126, Min, Min
Sector: 651, Group: 21, Area: 65535, Zone: 65535
This has happened with the Mech archives that I've been doing. I'm currently on 3.3.2
I've done nothing mission-wise prior to running this, nor was I on any team.

After a little testing, it's definetly whenever the mission has a specific locale in Richland. Whether it be meeting Kalt or interrogating the Effectuator in Tabor, it chokes. Then I have to leave mission team and restart it in Richland to get it back.

I believe it used to just give you the mission waypoint wherever it wanted you to be and the distance would be ridiculous... yeah? Now it's just irritating because you don't know where to be before it breaks.

I, and I'm sure others, really don't like missioning in Richland. It's repetitive and laggy in a lot of the popular spots. Really repetitive after awhile. I'm fine with being there when the storyline dictates, but surely it can be worked out where I can mission in Downtown or Int'l and when I see a "Closest Hardline is Tabor W"... go there. I really seem to remember it doing that before.

I assume that no one is having these problems after the latest patch?
