still have yet to get past mid 30s turn without game desynching, hanging, or otherwise bugging out. Changing how the game processes orders and such may be going in the right direction, and yes, it was noted that old issues have crept back into the game because of it, but clearly, it is not nearly resolved. So... keep working on it as i know you already are, and gimme a call when its all cleaned up and playable. Otherwise, I will add it to your tab, owing me some 300+ hours of partial games.



If this was the last free add-on (or whenever it is), you can rest assured that i won't be buying any DLC until multiplayer is actually stable and playable.

Are you sure you downloaded the patch? My games have had no such issues.

I lost connection my first game around turn 30. I agree with the above poster - the changes seem to be going in a good direction but its not fixed yet.

Having rarely if ever suffered significant issues in MP this patch is a massive improvement.

today played a 4player game, after 3 failed games (host quit, turn 1 crash/hang, afk player and quitters). After 2 players of the 4 quit, i noticed they had remnant ghost fleets. The 0mp, 0/7 size kind. Seemed every fleet i killed turned into a ghost fleet, they were all over blockading my systems, but un-fightable. I have seen these before, comfortably certain its a synch issue. Just wanted to make you aware, it only happened after those players quit, so it might be related.



edit: that game eventually hanged around turn 30something. Once those desynchs happen, its only a matter of turns before the game completely dies.

clearly i was updated.



Oh, every time i start ES, it asks me if i wanna allow it to install C++redistributable, as if its the first time. possibly part of my security stuff, but, even if i allow it, it continues to ask. Any way to make it stop?

If you are having issues after a patch try doing a File Verification in Steam, its in the properties right-click menu.

There are couple ways usually the easiest is to delete the related number.vdf (usually 208140.vdf) file in the install folder.

The other I recall is adding HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\208140\VC++ 2010 = 1
