Cloaking shuts down - confirmed?

[()Alf]

Using AOG Carrier, my cloaking device shuts down after some seconds.
There is enough energy and no signs of the device "unloading" - it just shuts down.
There is no anti-cloak beacon in the sector.
No bots active which could interfere.

Can this be confirmed by someone or any hints what else could be the cause?
A point to the cause might be, that my savegame reaches back to version beta 31.3, starting a new game seems to solve the problem - weird.

Save version should have nothing to do with it. Cloaks can get shut down for several reasons, the biggest guess I have for your situation is power. Check the engineering screen and make sure science and total power are set to max. Additionally, probes and stock ship weapons being fired will shut down the ship. If you still have this issue, go to the pulsar lost colony: crew matchup server (https://discord.gg/yBJGv4T) and ask for help in the #game-help channel. Someone will help you troubleshoot, as likely you're just missing something.

Maybe you like to reread my initial post.

Doing what I can. Perhaps you can send a link to the save game?

I sent it to Leafy, i also posted to the current update thread and referred to this topic. Thanks for your strive.

It seems, warping into another sector fixed the problem.

Well had a variant of this the other day. What I figured out in my case was cloak would run for a while then BLIP off it goes , turn it back on works for 5 mins then blip
Re-arranged processors and then it started to happen more often, cloak and BLIP after maybe 45 seconds
So look at your processors- seems that some processors are 'charged' randomly and could tip you over your power budget just enough to un-cloak you.

I also sometimes lose cloak randomly even with science power and max and far more then enough power available. No shots no probes. Just space and viruses. It's happened often enough in 50 hours to make me want to ditch the stargazer.

even friendly ships will probe you and poof your cloak. outside of combat. they dislike cloaked things.

It seems, that something like that has been the cause. Feedback from Leafy suggested that they think about to providing better feedback for cause of deactivation in the future.

I frequently enter a zone precloaked so I don't see how they would find me to probe me.

they will probe around and might hit you sometimes. if you were uncloaked before, they remember your location and will instantly probe there
