Melting the server: a love hate relationship

I know its beta.

Yet I can't seem to finish a game without the server crashing. It always seems to happen late game when there are ton of units.

Any one know if your on your own planet with just a few units all game and then shift to a big planet with a ton of units; will this cause a server crash?

Anyone else seeing this?

it looks like it's becoming a common issue, 3-4 people have posted today about late game issues.

Is the simulation running remotely at PAHQ, or is it running locally on my machine (is PA offline-capable? I haven't checked.)

The server runs the simulation.

Just had a very stable game, but very laggy server side.

So it is possible atm to have a game with over 10k units and not crash the server, but its still near unplayable. lol

It will be offline capable later at release. At this moment the Uber servers host all games.

Well, I had 4 games yesterday, all 4 crashed within 20-40 minutes. The game itself was super smooth, I think it is just a bug and not server overload... but that is just a guess...
Basically the game crashed each time, just when it became super interesting and fun... love the game so far...
