If you guys play on FTG then unfortunetly don't count me in (and if it's not patched it's bugged in mp)
Yeah, I was kinda wondering that too.
If nothing ends up coming of this, I'll probably start a campaign of my own...
Owning CK2 would likely be a neccesary prerequisite of that.
Edit - plus, Sundays don't work for me.
Have you tried the recommendations in this post? It's at least a starting point.
Yes, tried in first time, no use.
The post from Stoertebecker that MichaelM linked here, was after the first try we did in the German forum: we played with 5 people the Napoleon's Ambitions campaign till 1819 and had just 1 CTD at startup.
The Windows compatibility settings described there really make the game much more stable - but in-game. They do not seem to help much about the start-CTD...
The second try, with up to 13 people, was frustrating - and at the end we gave up and started playing EU2 again.
But what we found out, I described in my post in the 1.3 thread:
Regarding the CTD on a start of a Multiplayer game in 1.2: in the German forum http://www.si-games.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22 we did some testing with 5 to 13 players and had some interesting findings, like that if we started the game just with people having up-to-speed hardware and really fast Internet connections - so the game would load and connect for all people at the same time - it would CTD much less. It did make us fell, like there would be a timeout of about 1-2 seconds happening, which causes the CTD.
My best guess is really, that there is a timeout happening, which brings the CTD... It would be much easier to debug this, if I'd have access to the source code
