    world simulator went away is happening a lot, the game freezes, I can still move around the planets but the units are all frozen, then I get sent back tot he main menu. be it on a custom map or a regular one. it started in Titans so I tried playing in regular but it happened again and again. I tried uninstalling both and reinstalling them but it still happens. is anyone else getting this problem or know how to fix it?

    Sounds like the server is crashing. Does this happen while playing Galactic War or AI Skirmish? Or is it during multiplayer?
    If GW or AI Skirmish, does turning off the local server in the PA settings help?

    apparently to fix this I have to turn off my internet and just do local play, so far I haven't run into any problems that way

    If that fails try backing up then deleting your local storage:
    • PA\localstore

    so I finally got to the local store, couldn't see my appdata in my userfile for some reason so had to get to it through the run program %localappdata%. so I deleted the localstore, do I just play now and see what happens?

    Try again after deleting the local store and make sure the game files really are verified.

    There are some log entries that look like corruption of the data files or local store:
    • [01:32:26.432] INFO [JS/game] bundle://boot/boot.js:36461: DataUtility: data is malformed. value is required.
    • [01:32:27.884] ERROR [JS/game] bundle://boot/boot.js:17249: Uncaught TypeError: Unable to process binding "style: function (){return { backgroundImage:$root.imageUrlForSystem($data)} }"
      Message: Cannot read property 'planets' of undefined

    It looks like something is messing with network connections as all the external network connections are failing in your logs.

    Recheck the incompatible list and test again with any firewall or anti-malware software disabled.

    And also try the clean boot option at the end of the incompatible list.

    Still lots of network-related errors in there. It's not exactly the same problem, but can you try this possible solution:
