Hello everyone. Currently playing the demo of the game. Really want to buy it, but the bug stops me from that.
Few times during Elite match my timer is freezing on 00:00, scores are freezing also and information about hp of the attacker and some other stuff is not displayed also. Also the chat is not working. The duration of it is like few minutes, then everything unfreezes and I get a lot of information about past rounds in a few seconds.
Sorry if that bug was already resolved. Honestly, I was looking for the solution, not only on forums, but on the inet also.
Can send you a screenshot and PC info if needed.
Firewall is disabled, tried to run the programm with rights of administrator.

Sorry for bad english.

Your English is fine, please do not worry

How often do those freezes occur? Only then and when, or almost regularly?

Unfortunately such freezes already have been reported quite a few times, but haven't been fixed yet.

The root cause of such freezes are most probably data buffer or some thread locking issues, but it seems it is very difficult to find out exactly.

One thing to try on your side: did you restrict the available bandwith in the game's network configuration, to match what you really have?
A good recommendation is to limit to less the half value of the upload and download speed.
This forces the game to use smaller (or less) packets, which might delay or even prevent the freezes.

Thank you for a replying and trying to help me. I appreciate that.
Freezes occure each game 2 or 3 times, during a few rounds.
I resolved the problem by buying the game. So the bug should be found in demo version, I guess.

Very strange, but also very interesting.
Thank you for the report, and now have fun

Lol, it has started again. But now I also sometimes cannot move first 20 secs of round. All issues are in Elite.
