No autosave was written to the system, host (me) just froze up. Could hit ESC to get to the menu but after waiting a minute I went ahead and used Quit Game. At that moment's my friend's factorio.exe crashed. Log file is attached if that helps at all (log file from me as the host).

Edit: Actually, I'm assuming it was at an autosave point as it was shortly after we started and autosaving has been an issue in the past.

Edit: I'll upload the save game if it isn't too large. The autosave maybe did work. I didn't notice a new game time on it, but the timestamp in Windows shows it's a new file. If it matters, this game started in 11.8 and was never used in 11.7.

Edit: Save file too large, so sharing via sugarsync: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D013522_61197420_7557777

Edit: Changed topic to not mention autosave any more as it doesn't appear to be while saving, just while playing.

Hello I tried to reproduce the problem, but I couldn't do it so far.

The autosave works correctly for me (I can load it and everything seems to be working fine).

Did it happen again?
Did you do something special while the freeze happened?

So the game didn't really freeze. The game was responsive, just the multiplayer was somehow stopped right?

Yes exactly. However, once we quit out of the game sometimes Factorio will crash for one or the other of us when we try to start playing again. Exiting the program and restarting it always works fine. Loading the save game itself doesn't cause an issue.

In the ~3-4 hours I played with my friend the other night in our base that is growing bigger, the game froze like this maybe 3 times. Menu still works fine, it's just nothing happens in the game any more, time stops.

I didn't think to hit F5 or something like that to maybe get you more debugging info.

In a situation where time stops and the user interface still works, is there any debugging console commands or something I can do to assist?

This sounds exactly like zoomy glitch, Can you guys zoom?

Sounds like the same problem.

Yeah, this is the problem we've been having, on all versions so far. Latest one is the most stable but still happens a lot on late game. But I can say that it freezes even when autosave frequency is set to never.

Thanks. I believe you meant 11.15 in your post though, not 11.5.
