So there i am in a game on a fairly large planet probably 20 mins away from it being over, actually doing fairly well when all of sudden it says SIMULATION TERMINATED : RETURNING TO MAIN MENU. I almost (almost...) flipped out, but i remembered that this is in alpha and i can complain to the devs about it and if they are as awesome as they seem they will do something about it or at least tell me why it happened. So, uber, i ask again... What happened???
The Simulation terminated, without knowing more details I'd say the server crashed, if it did Uber already has the crash logs. Also in the future we do have a handy Subforum specifically for the Alpha. Mike
Yeah sorry, i accidentally posted this topic in the wrong sub-forum and i don't know how to move it, if I even can.
Simulation terminated almost always means server crash. It can, on rare occasion, indicate a disconnect due to network being overwhelmed, but that's much more rare. Looking through our logs, there is a period crash occurring in our nav agent. I'll ask Mr. Elitron to investigate in the morning.
On further investigation, your specific crash was a different, brand new crash. Not sure who's bailiwick it is, so instead, I'll just send it to all the coders and let them sort it out.
Currently (for last 3 or 4 builds) game just keep frozen (don't do anything at all) after 8-10 secconds disconnections: http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/inde ... sk_id=1639 At least on Linux.
If you look at it the "right" way it sounds like a good thing! Glad to help you guys find bugs! p.s. I might sound like a noob for asking, but what does bailiwick mean?
Lol i didn't even think of that *facepalm*...by the way Garat stop using big words that make me look stupid.
It seems that victory through server crash is to only way to ensure lasting peace on a size 6 planets. Just did a game where I seem to have annoyed everybody with my hundred or so patrolling planes... but I just didn't want to be bomber sniped. :cry: Thankfully it crashed and relieved me from having to destroy my beautiful base to get acceptable frame rates. :mrgreen:
the past few days (yesterday in particular) i had a massive amoutn of "simulation terminated" like over 60% of my games, yesterday i played 5 games 4 of the came up with simulation terminated screen. i know its alpha and my response was just to play another game but would be nice to know if this is happening to other people?
I'm usually play humble games like 1v1 or 1v1vAI and many of them to test some things. I don't have "simulation terminated" often... I think it's depends on scale of game.
I have definitely had more crashes than before the last build as well bud, and it does seem to be on much bigger planets, there wasn't any warning signs though.
yeah i guess most of my crashes where on scale 2 planets and a few on scale 3, im guesses its juts a bug or somthing, sure it will get fixed soon enough! still loving the game and playing it whenever i can though
