Clock freezing in multiplayer.
First time this has happened to me...... So every time I try to host or upload a saved game in multiplayer the clock freezes almost immediately, I can still move around the map and check all the stats but for some reason the clock is just frozen and thus all the units ect are frozen as well.
Will appreciate any advice on how to sort out this issue.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
We would need a lot more data to start looking into this.
What MP map?
How many players?
If you restart, does it happen again?
What do you mean by "upload"?
Does it freeze if someone else hosts?
If you have a way to reproduce this consistently, please provide the steps you follow to do so.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
Thats weird, i have had this happen in 9.1.38 a couple of times (just like freeze on alt tab). Basicly i had to ctrl alt delete to fix it. But since 9.1.40 i didnt had both those issues.

- have only tried MP in the 1936 map... Don't know if it does the same in other maps....will see and get back to youBalthagor wrote: ↑Jun 27 2018 We would need a lot more data to start looking into this.

- yes does the same even if I restart
- just 1(me)
- upload was probably the wrong word to use, all I did was copy my sandbox saved game to MP....this is where I thought the issue popped up but even if I host an entirely new MP game(after deleting the saved game files) the clock still freezes doesn't matter which country I play as.
- Don't know since I'm the only player and host
- The clock freezes almost immediately after i un-pause the MP game I just started, as in every single time. The game barely runs for a few seconds before the clock freezes.
Only play MP when I want to play as a different nation but in the same game I originally started... Hence why I copy my saved games to MP and thus start the game as a different nation.
So it not really a major issue and all my single player campaigns and sandbox games are working perfectly.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
Maybe insider build plays in effect here? That's the only thing i can think off, since i didnt install any beta patches after 9.1.38 since they are all WW2 and WW1 content.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
this always happens to me if I try playing multiplayer with no internet connection. Internet working? Time ticks. Internet not working? Time doesn't tick.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
is the app blocked by your firewall or something?

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
No, it would not. The multiplayer code only gets used when you start multiplayer.
Can anyone else reproduce this? We've got no other reports of something like this.
Same for the "no savegame". Everyone else is managing to save, I'm not convinced there is anything wrong with the program.

- Well if I had the same problem as everyone else I wouldn't be posting on this issue...I won't say I can't save the game if that's not the truth. Also I never said it was the program that was at fault, the reason I posted was to find suggestions from others that might of had the same issue..... Also if it helps, this issue only happens on my laptop and not on my desktop.
Maybe I should post a video, then you might have a better understanding?

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
He's not accusing you of being a liar, I promise. He's basically stating that he doesn't think it's currently SR that's the culprit here as no one else seems to be experiencing the same issue. Now, that's not necessarily true, and he's not saying that it's definitively the case. Just what he's thinking with the information currently available to him, and that's why he's double checking to see if anyone else can replicate this issue so he can get more information. Obviously they want to help, but they need information to be able to do it. With the huge number of system configurations out there, sometimes it can be very difficult to narrow down these kinds of problems. I can guarantee you that they're looking into it and trying to help. It's just that without more information, it's going to be very difficult if not impossible to do so.

jln115 - if you let me know your Steam handle, I will try to contact you and perhaps see if I can notice anything odd in a MP game with you.

Unfortunately that's how I interpreted it, and I sincerely apologise to Chris if what you said was the case.way2co0l wrote: ↑Jun 29 2018 He's not accusing you of being a liar, I promise.

And as I said in my previous post , I have my doubts if its actually the program itself since the game works perfectly on my desktop... The issue of the clock freezing is only happening on my laptop, hence I asked if someone had the same problem, and if they know how to fix it.

Re: Clock freezing in multiplayer.
No worries, hope someone comes up with some ideas. Firewall settings was a good place to start.
