Multiplayer speeds

[unmerged(9174)]

Hello all, first let me say I am really enjoying the game. Is their any talk of adding one level slower speed option for multi play? The slowest multi speed runs faster than slowest single player. The game is too quick for me and my friends on current slowest speed- dont want a click fest.

Am I the only person who thinks this game is playing to quickly in multiplayer? Either I am getting old or my post was lost in the deluge. Does anyone else take issue with the multiplayer game speed?

Already adressed for the 1.02 patch.
Slowest gamespeed will be about 250% as slow.
(And pause will be without the 5 second delay in MP)

No you are right, I made a thread about this on sunday.
After a whole weekend of constant multiplayer clickfest.
Right now I dont think so many peaople have tried multiplayer yet and not discovered this problem that make multiplayer impossible.

Great to hear Johan!
Because for me multiplayer Hoi was what I looked mostly forward to.
And as it is now the game is unplayable.

Pause without delay will really fix multiplayer issues, at least for me

Johan, this is fantastic news! Inability to control speed in multiplayer is at the top of my list of needed fixes.

But I'd like to see the ability to shift speeds during multiplayer, not just a slower speed and easier pausing. I'm expecting many of our multiplayer sessions to consist of several years of R&D and build up (1936 to 1939) followed by intense combat time. During R&D phases we need to be able to accelerate the game. But then during combat we need it to proceed slowly.

Thank you very much for the responses. Multiplayer for this game is very important for me. I already forced 3 friends to purchase HOI just to play me. It is great to see developers on the boards and answering questions.

Variable Speed

Good news on the pause and reduced speed options. Just wanted to second the thought that the option to vary the speed is also desperately needed for those times when war is not occurring.

Thanks
