[FL-546][FIX][BUG] Game Inexplicably Freezes - fixed in upcoming update

[Captain_Baryon]

My game keeps freezing after about 10-15 minutes from this save, and I can't find any reason why it does.
My game is completely vanilla, unmodified, haven't done anything weird.

I've left one running for hours and it has stayed frozen

Thank you for the save. I can confirm the freeze, but also haven't found the issue yet. We will investigate this further. Unfortuntely, in a case like this, the game won't recover.

Had similar problems - tried to recover by ALT-TAB back to windows, and then re-opening FL window. Initially would re-open with black screen but game still running in background (managed to fly through gate and save ) Think graphics related (Nvidia cards can be flakey with some games) - so disabled G-SYNC. Game still freezes but ALT-TAB and back again recovers. (So can save and restart )

[X2-Illuminatus]

No, that's a different issue.

[Captain_Baryon]

It's happened again

I've had a couple of random freezes for the last few days, but now i got a save that freezes within a couple of minutes, every time.

Don't have a place to upload it though, and no attachments allowed.

This problem should be fixed in the upcoming update.

To add to the discussion, this same thing starts happening to me as soon as i try to build an accelerator. As soon as i put it down in 5-10 mins the game will freeze. This happens in every sector where i tried to place the accelerator but even if i leave that sector where a new accelerator has been built the game will still freeze. Only when i went back to an earlier save where just prior to building one it all goes back to normal and i can run the game for entire day if i want to and it will never freeze. IDK about everyone else but for me not placing down accelerators fixes the issue. Not the best solution since i would like to claim those sectors but i guess will have to wait for a fix

Any ETA on the update? I'm eagerly waiting for it so I can realign the HUB and no longer have Xenon inside of it all the time! Thank you!

[X2-Illuminatus]

We will likely issue a beta update this week with a short public beta test phase. Depending on how this goes, the release will follow shortly afterwards.

Also ran into an inescapable freeze, but I have no way of knowing if it's caused by this same issue. Save is HERE.
Tried:
halting all ship commands
removing what I could from the HQ operation stack
jumping to other sectors
loading older save games
cancelling ongoing missions

Nothing avoided the freeze, and it seems to happen at roughly a fixed time (i.e. SETA makes it happen sooner).

I'm a GOG user so I can't try the current Steam-only patch. It lists one game-freeze fix concerning auto-traders, but I have no idea if that is what's causing the issue in my game.
Is there a temporary work around that I can try to avoid this freeze before the patch comes to GOG? I tried stopping all ships, including traders, and the freeze still happens.

[Cycrow]

ill check out the save game and see if its fixed in the current patch.

but if stopping your ships didn't fix it, then it could be some other issue

i really hope it works for those of us who dont use universal traders. all i have been doing is playing the paranid sandbox to pass the time and man, is that hyperion op af

Unfortunately im unable to download the save, the site is blocked.

could you try uploading it somewhere else?

these 2 saves are also random freezes and not the trader induced ones

i have never shared a save before so let me know if this does not work

[Hwitvlf]

Thank you. Appreciate all the love put into FL as well as your looking at this issue.
I stopped all orders on all ships again, just to make sure I hadn't made a mistake last time, and the freeze still happens so maybe it is a different issue.
