Multiplayer Disconnects & Crashes
Published on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 By
A friend and I played a Sandbox MP game of GC4 over the Internet tonight, using latest V 0.9.
This was a game with 2 humans and 6 AI players.
For the first 1.5 hours we had no game problems. Then the game started to freeze, with no error message, when the game showed Starting New Turn. I had to exit the game, then load the last auto-save. We would be able to continue the game for several turns OK.
Finally, after about 2.5 hours, the game would freeze during an AI execution phase: Arcean Turn. When I exited the game, then reloaded the last auto-save, then we played our turns, then game would freeze at the same AI turn execution phase. We tried this several times. We even loaded the previous auto-save turn, and a manual save.
I have copied the err log file and my last manual MP save to one of Dropbox folders. I have supplied the link above.
We both played the same version for several hours today, as solo games, with no freezes at all.
Have other players had similar game freezes during AI player executions?
