Anyone having problems with the game freezing when using the grinder?
Unfortunately this was an unexpected issue with the new patch. However, there should be a hotfix inplace to keep it from happening. Make sure you are connected to the internet to receive the hotfix

Hi Kitty any idea roundabout how soon they will get this resolved?
As in when will it be hard-patched? No ETA on that one, sir.
Ok thanks, appreciate the honesty 
I had an interesting Grinder experience yesterday on the xbox. First, three purple shields give me the option to do a moonshine grind, which works to produce a legendary shield. Then it hangs on another shield grind, so I have to turn off the console manually. After restarting, I lose the ability to do a moonstone grind of three purple shields, and can only do a standard grind, which does work.
What changed in the code between the two sessions?
I know this is an old thread, but I didn’t have any problems with the grinder until this week (I am playing on Mac). But since the recent hotfix (I assume the hotfix has caused this) the grinder is crashing the game repeatedly when I try to grind purple items. What is going on here? This is very frustrating!
I had that issue today on Ps3 as well. I ground 3 purple Athena class mods twice with moonstone and converted them over to doppeldanger legendaries. I was irate. It cost me 126 x 2 moonstones.
From what I have seen part of it is a problem with the lady hammerlock pack, apparently a bug snuck in with it. Even if you are connected to the internet the grind can sometimes freeze so only grind three purples at your own risk.
I’ve had no issues with the Grinder at all until this morning, and now I can’t grind three purples at all either on or offline. Option to Grind either with or without Moonstones is greyed out.
This is on the PS3, and I AM playing as the Baroness, so I might try with a different character and see if the issue persists, but I can’t see why it would affect only one character.
Hope it gets fixed soon!!!
Is this supposed to be fixed, or are we still waiting? I’m still having issues grinding purples.
It is the hotfix that seems to have broken the grinder.
The grinder mostly works if I go offline to grind … without the hotfixes downloading/installing.
Online I don’t even get options for moonstones grinds a lot of times … offline all the moonstone grinds options are there … and work … most times.
I did get it to grind 3 purple COMs to get a Chronicler of Elpis over the weekend, but every time prior to and since then there’s no moonstone grind option.
I can’t remember whether or not I was on or offline, so I need to try and replicate what I did in case there is a temporary workaround!
Yeah the only way i get the option to moonstone grind is if I enter the game fast enough before it authenticates at the menu,but then it works everytime,that’s on 360
Ah, I’m on PS3. Might try going offline before I load the game up in that case and seeing if that works as obviously loading it up whilst online will prompt the patch that breaks it to download automatically (one would assume!).
I’m on PS3 and though I’m not having the crashing issue, I am unable to moonstone grind 3 purple with any of my characters since the Lady Hammerlock release.
@joekgbx any word on a fix for this?
I can confirm that this will be included in an upcoming patch. No definitive timetable, but it’s on the team’s radar for sure.
To clarify though, you can’t moonstone grind three purples anyway, unless they’re COMs.

I can moonstone grind any three purples for a legendary on 360 as long as I get in the game before Shift authenticates or updates download
