So my game is constantly freezing then unfreezing having units appear into other areas makes the game almost unplayable (due to micro) anyone else having this issue?
This is a combination of network code being unoptimized and Uber artificially limiting the bandwidth to force themselves to look for ways to optimize for low bandwidth situations (I believe). Why you're putting it down to this update I'm not sure, but I've seen it ever since I started playing the alpha a week or so ago.
I can say from my end the last update has definitely done this. I had the expected slow reduction in FPS toward endgame and big battles in the last one, but exactly what the OP posted is happening to me right from first building something. I've logged it in the bug log as well. Hardware: Core i7 930 2.8Ghz, EVGA 780GTX Superclocked, Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Mobo, 6GB 2200Mhz RAM Another guy in Australia last night reported no lag so it may not be regional - but I doubt it's my home connection, I've got cable and had no lag previously. I played 10 games at least of the previous one but might have to sit this build out for now! :cry:
Upon issuing the "build" order, the planet editor becomes unresponsive. I know theres meant to be a wait before the planet is built etc, but its during the wait that windows notifies me that the game is not responding etc.. Also, I keep running into a bug during matches, where once I give the patrol order to units..... specifically air units, I am no longer able to build any units, and only able to issue move orders. All order icons ....on the right hand side of the screen.... become unusable, or even invisible, sometimes. By the way, I heard someone say that the metal planet is supposed to look the way it does?? I thought that couldnt be right.. Its not the way it looks in the trailers weve seen so far, and the way it looks at the moment is a complete mess. Otherwise....I`m loving what Im seeing, so far!
Freezing and unfreezing, especially if you're playing with a lot of AIs, is going to happen, especially if you're on an at all restricted pipe. As for the planet builder, as stated, Metal and Lava are no where near done, and of the two, metal will take a lot longer to build. And when I say no where near done, I really mean it. Most biomes require a few custom assets. Metal will require a LOT of custom assets.
