Since the last update a few days ago: the game is very laggy at the beginning, then kind of clears up. Then after at least 30 mins of play, the game loses connection to server. I play about 2 games a night on average and sometimes the game can go on for more than an hour but it always ends with a server connection loss. Is there a fix for this or is this going to be fixed in a new update? This happens on team armies as well as free for alls.
I forgot to mention my brother plays too and actually sits next to me. We play team armies as well as free for alls and his pc has connection to server lost ending to games as well, whether I am playing or not. Either we both have the same problems with our pc's (similar builds but not exact) and or PA has some bugs to clear up. Before this last update, we had NO problems with games ending the correct way (win, loss or tie).
Connection to server lost currently mean that there is a good 99% chance that the server has crashed. This is beta so things aren't running smoothly and servers have troubles with stability once game hits super lategame and you have 1000-5000 units and structures spread across 2-5 planets and literally 100-200 units (or more) can be destroyed and created every second (nukes, asteroids, commander explosions, artillery, ... ). There is currently no workaround . Sorry.
This is a pretty common error right now. Lots of people are frustrated with it. Uber is working on it.
Ok thanks for the responses. I suspected as much but couldn't find any info about it on the posts (except for one). I won't go messing around with my settings anymore I'll wait for the next updates.
Yeah I've just about tried everything to see if its my system or not. I never get the message connection to server lost tho, just PA.exe has stopped responding.
I know you have other posts about this problem with advice already given but I haven't read them all. Have you tried updating your graphics driver? That's the only fix I know that helped me with the "PA.exe" problem. Although it most likely is the server connection lost problem that is causing your PA.exe problem.
Yeah I've tried a range of drivers dude. I'm sticking with the current ones tho and going to wait for a fix.
Just like to add I'm also experiencing this. only since latest set off patches tho. I think it is quite common. It is sometimes possible to log back in, however quite often all your buildings become invisible after logging back in. There still there and working, just you cant see them.
Is it your guys internet connection? I've had connection to server lost when my internet was going crazy.
I just played a full 1.5 hour game using the newest drivers (leaked) 13.11 Beta 3. Worked like a charm and it was a good game. I noticed this driver has a newer openGL driver, could be it, I don't know.
Having the same problem every round, getting annoying. After I clear off the main planet I lose connection before I can attack the next planet.
