Multiplayer problem

[thechoort]

Hello,

I've been trying to play this mod multiplayer with a friend, but even though we both install the same version of the mod, our versions are different. How do we ensure we have the same version of the mod?

We used the same download link for the exe.

Both have the same DLC enabled? other one has the sound mod?

The DLCs should not influence the Checksum. So I think either one of them has the EK Sound Mod or one of them does not have Legacy of Rome and installed the non LoR version of EK.

one of them does not have Legacy of Rome and installed the non LoR version of EK.

This is the most common culprit.

 

[thechoort]

Non LoR version? We both used the same exe to be sure our versions matched.

What version and checksum appears for the both of you?
Are they different from each other?

(Remember that the checksum always changes if you have started and resigned from a game during this launch)

 

[thechoort]

My checksum is TMFI, my friends is MWDC, if this helps clear things up

Default Installation Checksum: FCXH (2.0.3)
CK2 Version: 2.0.3 // 2.0.4

None of your checksums are good. Hmm... curious, are you sure you did not modify or edit nothing? Not even in the documents folder?

That's for 2.0.3, if they're on 2.0.4 the checksum will be different.

 

[thechoort]

Yeah we're both on the latest version. We haven't edited any of the files or anything.

What affects the checksum so I can try and figure out what's going on?

Changing any files in the mod or base game with the exception of textures. Running other mods with Elder Kings (I believe the music mod may affect the checksum too). Starting a game, then resigning to the main menu changes your checksum. Installing the non-LoR files will change the checksum, as will the techscreen files.

 

[thechoort]

Do you know which checksum corresponds to what condition?

Also what checksums do you all have?

 

[Korbah]

Do you know which checksum corresponds to what condition?

Well no, we don't. If either of you have changed your base game or folders you'd know of course; same if you've used different installation methods you guys should know which ones you picked
The solution I can come up with is that one of you reinstalls Elder Kings and then zips up that installation (of Elder Kings) and sends it to the other one. Unless one or both of you have altered your base game installation you will have the same checksums.
