Does anyone know if the multiplayer sync problem might be solved in this game? This problem has plagued every Paradox game for a long time and it has ruined most of my multiplayer games. I will buy this game: but only when I know the problem is no longer an issue. (And I've heard worrying reports from people that have had the opportunity to test the game before release).

I hope to god after Paradox claiming this is the most polished product they have ever produced that MP probs are fixed!

I've purchased this game for the MP aspect.

A wild pirate appears! And to those of you who might say, "PERHAPS HE'S IN THE BETA?"- he has no icons, and only people with icons were allowed in the beta.

Or maybe he is just guessing based on previous game experience. Also you do not have to register your icons to play the game. (or for that matter you can have multiple accounts.)

So randomly calling people pirates might not be the greatest of ideas.

Well, it desyncs. It also takes 30 seconds to join games and 30 seconds to load saves.

The latest Victoria II 1.4 beta fixed a lot of the OOS problems in my experience. Let's hope they apply some of that magic to this game as well!

This is absolutely accurate. The game takes a tremendous amount of time to connect (you type in the IP and click Join and the screen hangs for up to a minute) and once you do connect loading saves takes an equally long amount of time. Stability is very poor, running at speed level 3 virtually gauruntees a desync (which itself will lead to a crash) within 5 minutes.

Here's hoping the full release version (I have the Steam one) will be better, but right now it reminds me of early EU3 (pre expansions) level of multiplayer capability.

Desyncs have little to do with speed. I played for 8 hours on speed 3-5 with a friend, but when we added a third player we desynced within a minute on speed 1. Only some computers cause desyncs.

Yeah, unfortunately for us, it de-syncs..
I played with a friend over LAN and it de-synced after several seconds.

And in case one of you righteous people there flame me, I couldn't care less, I've pre-ordered the game and I couldn't wait, sue me

It has nothing do with flaming, why would you come to a company's forum and brag about pirating their shit? And use your pirated shit to talk about how the game's buggy?

It's so rude that I can't even come up with a response.

Maybe the desynching also has something to do with the fact that it's a pirated version?
(Just guessing - I have no idea about these technical things.)

As long as you've pre-ordered I don't see a problem with it, why should pirates get to play the game before us who payed for it.
