Myself and three friends bought this game during the Christmas sale and we all love it, especially playing multiplayer games together. The only time any of us ever have any problems with the game though is in the multiplayer, which is very unfortunate. All of the following are experienced by our group on a regular basis.



- We'll enter the lobby and sometimes one or more people (usually just the host) will be faded out and display no information (such as faction). We can normally start the game normally and everything will be fine.



- We'll enter the lobby and sometimes the entire box listing the players will be white with nothing in it. When this happens, we have to remake the lobby because the game will not load.



- We'll enter the lobby and sometimes it will display entirely wrong factions for everyone (for example, last time this happened one of my friends who was playing as the Drakken was displayed as playing the Roving Clans in the lobby, even though the Roving Clans were not present in that game). We can normally start the game normally and everything will be fine, but we also have the incorrect loading screens (for example, even though my friend did load in as the Drakken, he had the Roving Clans loading screen).



- We'll enter the lobby and one of the AI factions will be displayed incorrectly. Unlike the other problems, this one is always consistent (in our current game, there's an AI Forgotten faction that is displayed as the Wild Walkers in the lobby. This has occurred every time we load the game; they have never not been displayed as the Wild Walkers, but in-game they are the Forgotten). We can normally start the game normally and everything will be fine.



- Sometimes, when offering trades between factions, fatal errors will occur for everyone. We can always continue with no problems, however. Fatal errors of the same nature occur at other times as well, but we're unsure what else triggers them.



That's all that I can recall right now. As you can see, a lot of the times the problems only occur in the lobby and we can normally play fine, but we have also had a lot of times where everyone's disconnected or we all get stuck indefinitely at a certain point in the loading screen, and we're not always sure if we'll be able to play or not. Sometimes it takes several restarts to get the game working properly.



I love this game and would more than anything love to see the developers iron out the problems with multiplayer so that it's smooth and reliable. I made this post because I wanted to be sure that the developers were aware of some of these problems and maybe to see if they were actively being acknowledged and fixed.

Can you post some savegames form the point where you get the error messages ? Could you also add the info specified here /#/endless-legend/forum/13-tech-support/thread/5393-reporting-an-issue ? This would help the devs look into it ^^

Hi - just for clarification. When you encounter these bugs, is loading an already existing saved game? Perhaps an autosave after some type of error? If so from my experience try this:



- EVERYONE should fully exit game before trying to rejoin a saved game.

- Try to have your friends join manually from the lobby.

- If it still doesn't work try again following the same protocol. I find most times after 2 or 3 attempts it works for everyone.

- Never launch a game where the players (either real people or AI ) aren't correct. This will only cause problems later on.





If this is straight up from new games.....no clue...after 2k hours of playing I have never, ever encountered this. I'd guess one of your friends is on a 14.4k modem and ♥♥♥♥ing everyone else up

I have a similar issues. We are both on home network and the errors occur randomly. In addition the the game will crash in multiplayer after 1-3 hours. We are both using Macs and we have noticed when TimeCapsule backups this often crashes the Macs (both using El Captain)

Again, please upload save game files and the rest as indicated here : https://www.games2gether.com/#/endless-legend/forum/23-mac-os/thread/6658-reporting-an-issue-mac-version (since you're on Macs) ... otherwise the devs can't help.

If I'm not mistaken, TimeCapsule is a wireless router? Could you check if you have the same issues when both computers are hardwired into the network? Wifi can be so finicky sometimes...
