Hi,

like I wrote in the title, I'm unable to slect a custom faction in multiplayer game. We are two in it and neither me nor my friend are able to select one...

Does somebody have the same the same issue ?

I'm having similar, but the words Author and Name are trying to occupy the same spot on the screen, and Name has no text box, so I'm unable to truly create a custom faction.

Oo strange, have you deleted the .xml file ? For me I can create and select a custom faction in single but not in multi. Except that I have no problem with the creation, sorry :/

My problem seems to be linked to some faction traits or some combination of faction traits. If it can help some people, try to change or remove some traits...

Hi there,

How many traits do you have in your custom factions?

Cheers,

In my case it is simply impossible to create a custom faction at all.

It allways says that the name isn't implemented ^^

There might be a problem with the resolution you're in. Could you try to go in the options menu and set the User Interface Size to 1920x1080 in the UI panel, please? This will force the size of the GUI and prevent the Author and Name textfields from telescoping into one another. You should be able to edit your faction properly once this is done.

We noticed an error in the way a custom faction's description is sent through the network that could prevent a custom faction to be used in a multiplayer game. It was too late to safely solve this mistake and make the fix available at release. I'm already working on solving this issue and the solution should arrive pretty soon, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

It worked! Sorry for the delay, I was playing a "short" test run. Oh, and the Building The Academy quest has now gone on for 20-22 turns, despite being maxed out at 10 and I failed to meet the goal of 16 pops until turn 18 or 19.

@ZanAlex

In reference to the above complaints, I also experienced this issue in Single Player, and was able to repeat it. Finding it to be an issue with editing the faction during runtime.

I found that changing faction affinity from an already created Custom Faction, regardless of cost difference caused this issue both attempts I made. This may be separate from the multiplayer issue, but worth noting if it hadn't been already

For further information refer to the post here.

Glad it worked out for you :) For your quest related issues, you might want to report it in a separate thread, I'm not sure this is caused by your custom faction.

@simplymasterful

I've just noticed your thread, I'll go through it later during the day and get back at you to adress them one by one when I'll know more about these. Many thanks for your feedbacks! :)
