[0.11.6] Multiplayer hangs up

[Schorty]

Hi there,


two friends of mine and myself are trying to play together in a multiplayergame each time a new update comes up, but everytime, we had the same issue. The scenario is as follows:
PlayerA starts the game, PlayerB joins and finally PlayerC. The arrangement doesn't matter. As soon as the third player joined (he completly downloaded the map) the screen for him turns black and the game hangs up for the others. We don't know what the reason is, but we found a work-around: deleting the files in the temp-folder and restarting the game helped. After that, we could play together for some time (about an hour until it appears again). We are 2 Windowsx64-Users and 1 Mac-User. The Mac-User appears to not have such a temp-folder, so he didn't do anything.
Maybe this information helps you, finding the bug


Greetings,
Schorty

Same happened to us today - as soon as 3rd player connects - black screen and full freeze for first two players. Sometimes game crashes to desktop no matter what you do. We played through Evolve.
In our case we all where Windows x64 bit 0.11.6 - we did fresh installs from the installer.

Could not find errors anywhere, so if you could point us how to make debug info - we will gladly do it ASAP.

having the same problem, no matter how we do it, the third player gets a black screen and the game freezes. we're all using windows 64bit 11.6, we also tried this on 11.5 with the exact same problem.
