    Right in the middle of a 1v1 with the AI, everything stopped updating. Everything became frozen, but based on the audio announcements the game seemed to continue. At first I thought it was just lag but normal behavior did not resume. Usually, the normal movement of units and planets resumes after a short time. Actually this happens more and more with the number of units; however, this time it did not resolve itself. After waiting for ~10 minutes I decided to end the game.

    Is this an issue involving communication with the server? I heard that when PA is officially released there will not be much communication with the server in games versus the AI. Is that true? Thanks.

    It may be serverside, and yes, the game will be completely DRM free upon release. :D

    Yeah, since the sale on steam and the new update, the servers have been pretty brutal. Lots of disconnects, hangs, crashes, server sim going to <2fps even if you're just playing solo on a new game etc

    The new build is awesome and really love Galactic Wars. However the lag is goddamn brutal especially coupled with pathfinding issues on metal planets - can't wait for offline mode.
