i was playing in the middle of the game when suddenly everything stopped. the units that wherre given movement orders stopped moving but everything else seemed fine. i was able to select and deselect units normally try to give orders and even type but anything i tried to change would not update. i was unable to talk to any one else but it seemed like the server had just stopped and my computer was just fine. i stayed for a while but it was pretty clear it was not going to change anytime soon
Those are the exact symptoms of your connection to the server being dropped. Did your internet connection still work at the time? Also, you can try restarting PA. After logging in again, it should offer you the option of rejoining the game. Unless the server crashed of course, but usually you get an error "connection lost" or something to that effect if that was the case.
no wonder i havent seen it yet. oh right now i remember that game was a euwest server probably not the best to play from the us side
