Not impressed...

I'd just forget about the game for a few months/year. Get a refund if you still can and buy the game when it's actually finished. Besides the broken multiplayer, frequent crashes, terrible balance, untested mechanics added last second, and cut features, we're still waiting on mod tools so that at least some of the issues can be addressed by the community.

+1 to what Cactapus said

I love Amplitude's past work, and I applauded their decision to delay the game over the Summer. But it's clear that the game is still unfinished for all the reasons you outlined, and I haven't touched the game in weeks myself.

It's disappointing that Amplitude won't be more forthcoming about being stuck in a bad spot. They rolled out a half-baked product that we can't even fix ourselves with modding tools, and it's already October. Speaking for myself, I'll be on hiatus from the game until we see some big patches or modding tools drop. Either way, I don't see myself buying another Amplitude game on release, that's for sure.

Agreed. I was hopeful and told all my friends keenly waiting to play with me to give it a little time. Lack of communication has completely disappointed me with Amplitude. I finally brought myself to uninstall the game today as I have given up waiting for that "september patch".

still waiting

After last news about patch, MP still not on list?! 

I am right, if I say that the game is dead? The HK Players League channel looks like Chernobyl dead zone ?

And I hoped so much...

We did get this from the October Progress Update which would have been an indicator that MP fixes very likely won't come in the short term.

These issues have a wide variety of potential causes we need to tackle one at a time, and similarly, multiplayer connection issues involve a great number of variables that can make it difficult to reproduce them in our testing environment — in other words, these issues have proven more difficult to address than anticipated and as such have slowed down both the investigation and testing phases of some fixes.

not a thing about multiplayer fixes in patch :(

I disagree. They fixed error generation which (should in theory) should hopefully reduce desync and crashes. 

But it's not clear to what extent that will improve. I did watch a multi - player - multi streamed game on Twitch just two days ago and they had approximately 2 + hours of uptime between a crash/de sync. I think all three players were in different parts of the UK .

Hi Folks,

My family just bought the game yesterday, and I have had it since pre-launch. 

When we Co-oped last night we had one disconnect, (had to restart the game/invite them in again), and now we are at (I think) turn 40. The game's red dot is always on (always in desync) yet it appears to play OK in desync mode. 

Question to anyone who has MP'ed to the end of the game: Does the game's desycing cause increasing disconnects? Or, it is not playable in desynch mode all the way to the end of the game without much (more) disconnects?

We are three humans + 3 AI, Large Map, 3 continents.

Thank you for any insight/esperience.

I play this game with my brother daily, he is on steam and I'm game pass. When it crashes we just reload, it takes literally 5 seconds.

What's the issue?

Patch notes has many of the fixes that as affected some of my games!

I have a group of friends that have been trying to play MP since release. I would still love to get a full game in, I still have not seen the end game. None of us play SP games, we would love to be able to play this to completion. Just some information would be great.

The game is stable enough to be played in multiplayer, i played 50+ games by now on this discord server.

The balancing is still bad for multiplayer, but that can be resolved by using a balancing mod.
