As the chapter starts to launch press alt/f4. It will close the game. When you come back in, you will be able to launch the chapter. This worked for both my wife and me.

Would love to see this one!!

Happened to us tonight. Fixed it the same way.

Watch for the purple circle - really, like get out of it. Let your pet fight - but it should be on heals. Oh and use the temporary abilities.

It would be a nice to get a reply or update. Silence doesn't help explain what is going on. We've taken a couple more toons through the entire set of star fortresses since I last posted this, and no bracer drops in any run.

Bump - same issues, no temporary bar.

Are the drops of these in Star Fortresses bugged or did the drop rate change with 4.x? We've done >15 of these on different characters over the last couple of weeks without a single bracers drop of any type. It seemed to change when the area loot change happened.

Yup, Twitter. Twitter is the place to be. Give me a flipping break and just bring the server up.
