Okay, So I've been having this problem with playing multiplayer. Every time that I either host or try to join my friend's game, I get stuck on the "generating planets" screen. The weird thing is that it's like as soon as we try to start the game from the lobby, I seem to lose connection to the UberNet server. Any advice or possible solutions? Thanks! P.S. I can play a single player game and all of my drivers (to the best of my knowledge) are up to date, including network and graphics drivers (also directX).
People will be able to help you more if you could post your dxdialog.txt. I'm not sure how to do this, but quite a few people on here know about that, so maybe they can help. If not, look through some of the other threads where they talk about it! Sorry couldn't be much more help!
Are you loading old systems? Orbit distances are much smaller this patch and I heard loading old systems can do this.
