Whats gone wrong when the game just freezes

Happened in two games to me. Everything froze. All the people in the game could still use chat but all the units and everything were frozen.

Could still move the camera around the map and chat, but that was it.

???

I don't think this has been established... in some circumstances, waiting (a silly amount of time) and the game continues.  But in other cases, the game appears frozen and won't continue until a player leaves or 2... etc.  So, its some sort of connectivity issues.  As the game uses p2p, it could be a problem with individual players connecting to each other... the time range that the issue occurs appears to be random.  I personally think its something that got broke 1 or 2 patches back and is related to the way auto-kicks should be handled.  I think its a case where 1 player should be dropped, but it never seems to happen.  This is generally infrequent, but does tend to happen... if you find it happens more often than 1 in 50 games, it could be an issue on your side.
