    Anyone else getting a game freeze after sending an orbital fabber/other unit to another planet. This has happened to me 3 times now. The game freezes you quit and try to reconnect and it cant reconnect.

    (all mods are disabled)

    [edit]
    A better description by @Crembels taken from the bug tracker.
    I was going to post it there when I figured out it was not on my end but he beat me to it :p

    Setting:
    3 Player Free For All vs AI.
    I’ve built a system that has multi-planet starts enabled. The multistart works fine. The two AIs in the game on different planets to me (found that out after scouting).

    I build some orbital units (Avengers), zoom to a new planet in the system and right click to send them there. each time I do that the game sim freezes. I cannot interact with the units and Chronocam timer has stopped. Its as though i’ve pressed a pause button. The menu still works and i can exit the game and start a new one.

    This does not seem to happen in a non-multistart game with a system generated from the randomiser (tested. Game doesnt freeze). I am not running any mods.

    ------------------
    Also from @Crembels

    The 'server' and 'sim' panes of the Ctrl+P menu are frozen, but 'Client' and 'GPU memory' are still operating as though nothing is wrong.

    Also should mention that the camera still moves around and the UI makes noise when you click on things, just that the units dont move or animate.

    Just played 3 rounds, 2 times the game freezes.
    It started with some lag, than we get longer laggs and freeze... game over, not able to reconnect.

    I had a game freeze too but I was just on the one planet (though there were two in the system.) and not exploring further out. I also could not reconnect.

    Ive checked and updated the bug tracker. The 'server' and 'sim' panes of the Ctrl+P menu are frozen, but 'Client' and 'GPU memory' are still operating as though nothing is wrong.

    You've disconnected (maybe the server crashed, but I get disconnects a lot more) Quit and restart and you should get the option to reconnect. A mod might allow you to only go back to the main menu. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-reconnect-button-1-0-1-63180.57733/

    I have exact the same issue. And when I restart the game, i get the question to go back to the current game BUT when i click rejoin, the game stuck in the match loading screen.
    I think the Server crashed. My Client is working fine (Ctrl+P) but Server data is frozen.

    And the lag is not funny ... 1sec game play, 1 sec stop, 1 sec game play, 1 sec stop, ... LOL

    I dont use Mods!

    Whenever this type of freeze happens the server crashes, you can not reconnect as stated in the original and new starting post.
