Welcome back.

What is zone 0 if i may ask?
I had this strange thing occur today that all of a sudden i was like in space or something and only my action bars and unitframes etc where visable but not my character.

Off the map area, doesn't have a zone ID. When the client bugs out it sometimes will drop you there. Sometimes you fall endlessly, sometimes you're swimming, sometimes you can wander the bottom of the abyss.

It's a place where you can't even hear gods scream.

I'm having a good time, but not a great time - because I've crashed three times already (game got so stuck I had to force-shut down my laptop each time). Twice of which was near the end of a victorious Scenario. :'(

I actually don't think it's server related (may be wrong though) so any advice on how to improve this?

Welcome back, I've been playing Smite since old beta and I tried to go competitive furthest I reached was Plat1 main solo lane I love this server I don't encounter many bugs in pvp but in pve yeah some

Welcome, I hope you will enjoy your stay with us!

Read up on .ror and .rules ingame as well as the TOS so you dont get into trouble with us GMs.

WAAAGH!

Those random crashes seem to be happening a lot on some machines, while others never have problems. Most likely they are caused by Bad packets. I don't know why some ppl have a lot more trouble than others. Keep your drivers updated, keep your PC clean and don't run too high graphics Settings is the only advice i can give^^

Unfortunately, that could very well be the case. While I play on a laptop, it is up to date (bought about two years ago - so it should be able to run an 8 year old game at lowest settings imo). I was also above average in costs and had a focus on gaming (though admittedly it's not a PURE gaming laptop).

However, about a year ago I started having problems with games crashing - generally due to overheating the machine. Blowing out the dust hasn't helped one bit. Even games that ran fine before now are highly problematic. I didn't think it would be the case here (since it's a private version with some private version problems and it's such an old game) but I guess the problem lies with my hardware, indeed.

EDIT: I'm kinda fed up with this situation and my finances are now more flexible than they were a year ago so imma make work of it - but it'll be some time before I'm joining you for realz. But I'll be with you in spirit!

Try playing on fastest framerate, that helped a bit for me when I was using my laptop ( I still crashed once every 3-4 hours though) and I had to keep reloading UI frequently/restarting the game due to fps lag issues. However I think laptops have issues with the game in general, I definitely had some issues when I was playing on mine. I guess it has to do something with how laptops have some overheating prevention mechanics and RoR/Warhammer sometimes keeps overloading memory.
