The game Freeze - An annoying bug on the GC map overview
So I was playing with one of my friend in GC, and the game just stopped playing, the time was freeze and both of us just can't move units or anything. So it was in the GC overview map of UGC CE. So after sometime I notice what happend. The planet on the map are really close to each other, so if you try to do a ground invasion, you need to drag your unit to the little circle under the planet right ? Well if there is the circle of the planet below to move your unit. The game try to move your unit to the planet below but at the same time the game try to land your troops on the planet. So the game Freeze instantly and we can't save the game to continue. So after 3 hours of gameplay, this is the most annoying thing to happend....

ps : sorry for my english...

Do you have any error code that comes with the freeze ? or does it just "stop in time"?
Your explanations seems rather unlikely to be the cause tbh, as move orders shouldn't create calculation issues. What could, however, is the size of the fleet you're trying to move. I know fleets containing more than 60 reinforcement points of ground units are likely to cause a crash.
Can you give me more details about the crash and how you can reproduce it? that's be of great help! :-)

Ok, There is no error code. I can still move my camera and stuff. But the game is freeze in time and I can't move anything. And no my fleet is so that big. Just with a single stormtrooper I can reproduce this bug. And If i'm unlucky, well that's weird cuz it happpend 3 / 4 time in the same conditions. I just have a ground force trying to land on the planet and at the same time they try to get to the planet below. And then it freeze. Impossible to move stuff, build, or even save the game. We can just move our cameras and leave, and that's it...

(Sorry not to answer earlier, Steam didn't notify me of your answer)
That's pretty weird... can you give me exact details on how to reproduce the bug? things like :
- Exact GC set used
- Factions you and your friend were playing with
- What unit to exactly take and place where
- What should the other person do while I try to make the game crash like you did? Produce units? move units? anything else?
- Aynthing special you think could help me resolve the issue?

Also, I don't know if you tried it already, but verifying the game cache or unsubscribing to the mod and then resubscribing can *sometimes* fix strange bugs like this one.
Hope this can help, if not, I'll have to try and replicate it on my end, but I have little time and little friends available.

Yes I already try to reinstall the game, the mod, and verifying the game cache.
And I think you don't really need to have a friend to play with to do the bug anyways.

Thanks for all your help by the way

Hopefully it was an isolated issue. Hope it doesn't bother you anymore.
I'll do my best to test on my end anyway, it's always good to double check. :-)

I still have this Problem too, i played with my girlfriend the Galactic Conquest with only one Planet at Start and we can´t travel Troops anyway, we can produce troops but it still stant on 0% and we cant move troops. When we save the game, and start it again, it is there again! The Time is frezzed!

Did you also try verifying the cache / unsubing, resubing to the mod?
