Lost Connection after opening PCB tab
complete

I'm working on a project at a client's Flux account. At some point, the PCB tab (2D view) stopped opening and now I have Lost Connection every time I open it. If I open this project in 3D view, by editing the URL, it opens. I cloned the project into my account and it works fine. This project is under NDA. What should I do?

A fix is in the release to go live tuesday. Please reopen if you see this message again too frequently.

Lost connection at Schematic

Every few minutes I have the connection lost during schematic.
When drawing wires
When changing a Net Portal designator
When moving selection(group of parts)
When copy-pasting selection

I deployed a quick fix Friday that reduces the frequency of "lost connection" errors at the expense of removing project history. You can use this temporary fix here: https://deploy-preview-2818--fluxapp.netlify.app/ .
Our team is continuing to work on a deeper fix.

I have the same problem in my project, you can represent it here:

Hi vasy_skral,
Thanks for reporting this & apologies for the inconvenience here - we're looking into a solution to this problem. In the interim, would the following workaround suit?
- continue working on the clone of the project that is held under your personal account
- when you've completed work on the cloned project, log back into your clients account
- from your clients account, take a clone of the cloned project that you completed the work on in your personal account
Hopefully that makes sense and will allow you to carry on with development and delivery of the project to your client while we're resolving this problem

Dacre: Update:
The lost connection error fully blocked progress on my project for a client. The result of any of my actions is a "Lost connection" error and "Error! Fail to save". I'm finished with only ~30% of the schematic and I need to do the PCB layout design too, by the end of next week.
I started a job in the client's profile and then the project was broken. So I create a document on my profile and copied progress into that doc. I worked in this document till the schematic become really slow and every action required a few seconds(5 to 10 seconds and still time after time I got the lost connection) to save progress. But this didn't stop me! I created a new temporary document and draw small pieces of the schematic(up to 10 parts) here and then copied these pieces into the main document. While the schematic in the main document became bigger and bigger I reached a point where Flux was no longer saving any new part, wire connection, or other changes. So now I can't add new pieces anymore. I tried to clone the document but I got an error during the cloning process. Even a new document was created but the cloned document does not contain any parts only wires, which is strange. I tried to copy-paste the main schematic into a new empty document but I constantly get the lost connection.
This is like a wall I can't pass through.
I hope that Flux team can fix this issue soon and that I will be able to fulfill the contract. So I will continue to work on the schematic in a few separate documents and then, hopefully, will copy pieces into the main document once the bug will be fixed
Please let me know when you fix this. Feel free to reach me directly via Slack. I can give you access to DevTool debug information from my browser or answer your question if it helps to fix this.
Thank you
