@ubi-wheelyduck Hello, i believe i had already done that step in the past when reporting another bug (https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/113331/bug-invite-friends-crash-in-singleplayer-royal-mode?lang=en-US). Nothing changed since, and veryfing files again didn't tell me anything was wrong. Also, i always run the game in administrator mode.
I continue to believe this issue comes from the game itself and not from my computer or something that i did wrong.

@ubi-viral hello, i believe i have done everything and still had it happen. I don't really see how my internet could be at fault as it doesn't happen nonstop, but still happens about one time per day.

Hello,
Today i write extremely upset as i have been experiencing this bug since weeks.
While playing the game in any online mode, about 3 times per day, my game gets stuck like this : https://streamable.com/xyqm9t: (https://streamable.com/xyqm9t).
This is extremely annoying as i can't play anymore, and i am forced to restart trackmania AND ubisoft connect to be able to play online again.
This happens on online servers like in the provided video, but also in royal and cup of the day (both phases).
It does not happen in any other online game. Here is a screenshot of both speedtest (https://www.speedtest.net/result/12366874289: (https://speedtest.net/result/12366874289)) and packet loss test (https://packetlosstest.com: (https://packetlosstest.com)).

Packet loss test :

Note that during the video, i was not in a discord call, nor was i watching a video or doing anything else that could cause connection drops.
I truly hope something will be done about this.
Best regards, LinuxCat

hello @ubi-theberry , here it is! let me know if you need anything else.

edit : it's not showing up for me on the forums, so here it is https://i.ibb.co/bQP1s1s/image-2021-10-18-200731.png: (https://i.ibb.co/bQP1s1s/image-2021-10-18-200731.png )

@ubi-theberry hello and sorry for the late answer, here is the screenshot.

Hello @ubi-mushy , and thanks!
After completing the General PC troubleshooting steps, i can say that this still happens.

• My system meets the requirements
• My system (Windows 10) is up to date
• Running as administrator and verifying files doesn't change anything
• My Video drivers are up to date
• there is no application running except for ubisoft connect.

It seems that this is mostly an overlook in the menu for that gamemode as the code displayed on the screen has a comment that says "throw a runtime error when used in solo". Since this mode isn't accessed from the editor or the singleplayer mode, the game is likely thinking it's a server, and wrongly displays the button.

Hello, I recently submitted a map in review for royal and i noticed that by going in the "submitted maps" section, then choosing your royal mode map, the game opens the map in singleplayer. Here, press escape, then click on invite friends. The game should display an error, this happens every time. Here is a video (with UI in french) if it can help. https://streamable.com/5yzl9w: (https://streamable.com/5yzl9w)
Also, after that, if you press escape, sometimes the game will freeze, and you'll have to Alt+F4, sometimes it will display an emergency restart window with an ok button, and the game will be fine.
I hope this can help.
