Hotfix Build 83796 with Release Build 82834 is live!

Oh, you were close with the image. Once you posted the image you only need to copy the link from the field called "Direct link".

You didn't report back on the results of my suggestion though. That didn't do anything?

Anyway, it's hard to say where the lag is coming from. It's probably not from Uber's servers directly, as there would be complaints in the Support subforum about it. But it could come from any of the routers between you and Uber's servers. Unless somebody started heavy continuous downloads in your household, the problem is likely to go away on its own after a while. If you want to delve deeper into the problem, you should probably open a dedicated thread on the Support subforum though.

Yeah thats due to poor connection to the server. The sim speed would be 10 fps and such. Once I played on a crappy 3g and that happened. It resolved itself when I switched to my 90 mbps wifi

Then attempting to creating and/or joining a lobby some times I instead get the message "loading replay". Really annoying when this happens on ranked games as there's no way to reconnect. I've never come across this issue with previous builds.

Can you please fix the replays soon... I've been playing this game since Alpha and I only have 10 replays... seriously!!!!

What mod do you have installed for replays?

"Contact Replays" by @mereth
Why do you ask?

@masterdigital @wyao

Reproduced with --nomods and this looks like an engine issue.

startGame is correctly called except the engine redirects to replay_loading.html.

Additional log output from N30N who is on linux... api.net.startGame >api.net.connect > replay_loading.js

Have you tested with --nomods?

It has nothing to do with my mods. I've spoken to the developers and they know what the problem is.

@forrestthewoods
"We've found that some games take quite awhile to save and then upload a replay file. There's a separate process that scrapes end game data to store in a database for the replay browser to use. If the replay takes too long to save and upload then that browser process misses the files. So all your replays are safe and sound, the browser just doesn't know how to find them."

Replays are only saved for 30 days.

I've played a lot more than 10 games in the last 30 days. Did you not read my post above? @forrestthewoods works at Uber and he said there is a problem with the replays.

I did and I also read this:

Do you have some lobbyIds of the missing games?

No I don't have the Lobby IDs because the only way to keep track of Lobby IDs is if you install PAStats (which I have chosen not to). I'm not sure how you expect to help me when this is a server side issue? Do you know something @forrestthewoods doesn't?

For recent builds they are logged automatically in the PA Logs.... look for the following:

• INFO [JS/game] coui://ui/main/game/connect_to_game/connect_to_game.js:131: starting game with lobby id: 4186098040409097936

Where would I find the PA Logs?

Something like
C:\Users\ColaColin\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log

Thanks. Have these logs only just been added recently?

the log file itself exists since a long time. Not sure about the specific line you are looking for

AppData is hidden by default.... you can show hidden folders using view options or try pasting a valid path directly into an explorer window.

I ask how long they have existed because...

@forrestthewoods said "Honesly? I'm not sure! The UI flow changes all the time and I've been neck deep in save/load for so long I'm not even sure what the public version of the game looks like exactly.

If there's not an obvious number then if you tell me when the game is started (with timezone) we can match that against your UberId and figure it out. So long as there weren't a bunch of games started and stopped in a very short time it should be pretty easy."

Sounds like the community know more about PA than the developers. And maybe, just maybe, @forrestthewoods could have asked someone else at Uber where to find the LobbyID. If he doesn't know the answer, then maybe someone else would have? It's this lack of cohesion at Uber which is so frustrating! They obviously want to help, there's no doubting that, but their project management seems to be lacking.
