Game Breaking Bug (In reference to saves)

You're loading and then decompressing a 1.9GB replay file so a lot depends on your system. eg SSD, free contiguous RAM, etc.

I can load your game fine after a couple of connection attempts.

My temp fix increases the retries to 6 and delay between retries to 30 seconds. ie 3 minutes to load.

I have 16GB of DDR3 RAM, and I do have an SSD, but I run the game off of a 1TB WD Blue. Additionally, when I tried to load the game, it loaded as it did before. No additional attempts that you say you've added appeared, and it seems to have taken the same amount of time before it reverts to the main menu.

Would you recommend me transferring the game to my SSD?

Found another issue that broke my fix.

You should now be seeing attempts remaining: 6

Alright, so we're getting there, but the save still doesn't load in any of the units. Is there normally a delay in said units loading in or should it all load at once?

Do units fail every time?

So far they have, this time I'll load the save and give it a good 10 minutes to load the units.

What do you mean by load the units?

When the map loads, it is entirely empty, barring the planets. My general doesn't spawn, neither does the hundreds of units.

Nevermind, they literally just loaded.

Thank you so much for your patience in this! It only took, what, a week or so? But yeah, I'll go ahead and delete my negative review on Steam. Thanks once more!

Looks like their is some serious pressure on your system when loading such a large game.

If I stress my laptop with both CPU and memory pressure it takes a while to generate planets and load in units.

It's not too bad after a clean boot off my PCIe SSD.

On my laptop PA is using 6GB and the local server is using 12GB to play your game

Good God...

Hey uh...guess what? The game just went through the 6 server attempts and failed each time. Not sure what to do. Should I move the game to my SSD or something? Or should I just scrap this save?

Given the size I would restart then try a couple of times. Second retry might work once OS has cached.

Also try latest 99213-pte.

I can load your game fine.
