Game freezing and unable to load saves in multiplayer

[SpookyDog]

Hey there,

I've been playing multiplayer with a couple of friends of mine, and we've been having some good fun - but it seems after a while of playing the games, one or both of my friends (I'm the host) have all of their bricktrons just stop, and run on the spot. They won't follow orders, do anything etc. Only my game is running fine, as the host.

Then, when I rehost after saving and try and load said save, they join and they all it says is waiting for host - it doesn't load for them. We've tried switching hosts (And it freezes for me), saving before the freeze and trying then - which still results in us being unable to load the save - and verifying the game cache and all.

Any idea on what to do? Thanks.

Hey SantaDog,

Could you open a support ticket including this post and attach your logs & PC specs to the support ticket? We're aware of a situation along what you're describing but we need logs to debug the issue.

Ok! I've found a work-around (Not to the freezing, but the save issue) by sending my specific save to my friends for them to download, and then it seems to load fine. I'll get around to doing all that when I can. Thanks for the reply!

Same issue here. We used to just save and resume... but looks like after the last update the save won't load. Happy to send logs or anything else you need. How would I do that?

On the issue of the save not loading, like I said, I copied and compressed the save in question before sending it to the guys I was playing with, and it loaded up fine. Hope it helps that for you. Not sure how to send logs though, I'll have to look into that tonight unless Shatajon helps again.

Santa Dog, where did your friends place the save game once you sent it to them? In the "Saves" folder? I sent it to him and he placed it in the Saves folder, but it still didn't work.

I figured out how to send logs. It was in the links they provided above.

Yeah, in the saves folder. That sucks that it didn't work :/ Although, the saves I used were saves that were done before the game actually froze.

And, that makes sense xD

Thanks. Not working for us. His Saves folder was empty, which is strange since he has downloaded saved games from me before in-game. This was working last time we played, before the recent patches. :(
