    Okay, so this one you are actually going to need a picture to confirm, although it will be hard to explain what you see...

    I sometimes load games, 2 now in 1 night, that I can see the planet, and upon closer inspection the game is simulating, the planets and moons are spinning their orbits. I can also see moving economy bars, as though my teammates have established economy structures.

    However, and you can imagine this frustrated me to no end like I thought I was stupid or something, but I can not see my own commander. Cannot select him. Cannot find him at all, the planet looks completely empty. I was searching for 5 minutes, realized my teammate should have build a base by now so I should DEFINITELY SEE SOMETHING. Only 2 planets, searched both. I literally could not see one damned thing, any single anything.

    Well, left that game, bugged start, oh well life goes on. Played an AI game to make sure won't happen again, didn't. Played a game with Stawos, also went regular. Went to watch replay with Stawos. Replay came up, I was trying to get it to start, I figured it was paused, couldn't get unpaused, then realized lo' and behold, the planets were spinning and the economy bars were moving. This actually granted me better vision into this bug, the chronocam was stuck at 000/000.

    The picture shows the economy going on, even though the planet is bare and the chronocam shows 000/000. As I said, the planets are in fact spinning and the chronocam is in "play" (paused, the planets stop spinning, althought it stays 000/000 no matter what)

    FIX: I just clicked close on chronocam, it jumped real sudden to the part of game and actually rendered all units at once. So that is a fix if anyone else comes across it. However, if anyone else has this, upvote it in the bugtracker link below.

    Mered4 appears to get this in ZaphodX's game.

    The main thing that appears to happen in actual games, is you get a disconnect, then you rejoin, then you can't see units or pings even though the game is going and your teammate is building and playing and going about things.

    I think f5 never fixes it, rejoining doesn't fix it, and chronocam to middle of game and clicking X button might fix it but might not, and someone said it might be cinematic but I heard thats different.
