Well not sure if it is infinite, but both me and another person I have been playing with on teamspeak have had the same issue today. The game starts and the generation seems to take over 20 mins, at one point my friend sat waiting to join while i was already in and the match had already started. I watched his commander blow up while he was still loading. in another game we had the same thing happen only to me. i exited the program and rejoined, however it hung at login accepted for 5 mins then started generation. I could see the players talking ingame via in game chat and could speak with them. but i never load in. these were on 2 planet systems. we havn't had this happen until today. system specs; CPU AMD FX-63000 six core processor 3.50Ghz RAM: 8GB OS: Wins 7 64-bit GPU: Navidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost
It's reload UI and bypass problem when generation of planets finished already, but you didn't get into the game.
I just tried to join 3 different games, and was also left hanging at the generating planets screen for all of them. F5 did not fix the problem in any way, leaving me to force quit PA each time after waiting for 5-10 minutes (planet generation for me usually takes seconds, not minutes). I haven't had this issue before the most recent patch.
I seem to get this every time I don't load the lobby completely up. Edit: a countdown timer to start the game would fix this
Haven't had a problem with this since the newest patch. Maybe it's fixed, or maybe I've been lucky. Hard to tell.
