Thanks for the explanation. I'm very thankful for the dedication and time you volunteer to keep this awesome game alive. I have no problem with you prioritising your personal time to run the updates, regardless of whether it is peak time or not. As long as it is communicated to the wider community for the weeks and days leading up to the restarts, there should be no issue. Long live FAF!

Yes I did! Is that the cause?

Hey Jip, thanks for your hardwork. A few of the times I crashed I wasn't Aeon, and every time I crashed I hadn't even built a quantum gateway, although maybe my opponents were starting too. I had only played default FAF, no versions, not Phantom or Nomads and definitely not Steam FA.

Strange glitch but hopefully no more issues!

After browsing the discord for a while I managed to locate some people experiencing the same crash. They recommend playing one game in "FAF develop" mode (Selected when hosting a new lobby). Starting a game, then leaving, and resetting to normal FAF. Apparently it should fix it. I'll give it a go and report back.

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a strange crash mid game. It does not always occur, perhaps about 50% of games. In the logs of games that have crashed, I noticed that a warning is thrown:

warning: attempt to retrieve annotation from unknown technique AeonBuildNoAnimation
warning: c:\work\rts\main\code\src\libs\gpggal\EffectD3D9.cpp(89) invalid effect technique requested: AeonBuildNoAnimation

The graphics engine completly shuts down, flashing and glitching. It is completly frozen. If I alt+tab and return, it is black. The game still runs in the background with sound and it does not cause a disconnect, but it is obviously completely unplayable.

I have latest nvidia drivers, and have tried restarting, validating files on steam and disabling nvidia's overlays and extra-features. No luck.

Would anyone be able to shed some light on this issue for me please? Sample of logs attached.
