Desync's after about turn 40, CTDs and Fatal Errors after resyncing too many times during the course of a match or just randomly while playing. Has there been any response from amplitude that they are investigating and working on fixes for these issues? It's so broken it might as well not exist, all these issues have been in the game since day one as well which isn't reassuring.

Our answer is the following: please forward the following files for every player in your session so that we may investigate the issue further.



As BigBalls put it, we have alleviated these issues quite a bit since the game's release, and as the causes for these desyncs narrow, it becomes more difficult for us to track them down, hence the need for files from every player involved.

Switch the host to the player with the best internet connection. Low pings are often the source of desyncs...

It's just me, my brother and my dad playing here. We're all playing inside the same room. Our Internet is usually not that bad, but wheter we're having a very good day or a very bad day we still experience the same problems.

It mostly never even syncs in the first place, and whole match through we're desynced. If we try to resync it usually does absolutely nothing. And even if it does resync us, it just desyncs again next turn.

We've fixed the problem of the AI taking over by installing the ELCP, but there are still numerous issues that we cannot solve. For instance, sometimes we look at one of our cities and find all the population have disappeared, as in they no longer provide any benefits to FIDSI and they are not shown on the UI. They reappear a few turns later but they get shoved around and put into other places, and it disrupts our economy.

Another problem is that sometimes we can't perform certain actions. Want to tell that unit to move around? The game's decided it doesn't want to. Want to buy out a building at a crucial moment? Game doesn't want to. Want to tell the game to put that building/technology in the qeue? The game does not want to do it. This can happen with almost anything, where the buttons and your clicking your mouse just do nothing. Again, this can mess a whole lot of things up.

The only one that never experiences any problems is the host. Everyone else is left to fend for himself. It's driving me crazy, I tell you! But this kind of thing happens with ALL games made by Amplitude Studios. It just ain't right you're advertising it as a "Multiplayer" game when half the players are telling you it does not work as it should. Yeah people say "just deal with it", but I am sure most of us still experience many problems that you cannot "just deal with".
