14 player attempt failure with beta patch

Post by Slick Wilhelm »

The fledgling Civil War - 21st Century League had 14 excited gamers ready to go yesterday afternoon, and the good news is that we all learned a lot about the interface and the OOB.

The bad news, is that we never did manage to get a stable game going. We experienced many CTD's and game "freezes" while everything was loading and/or synchronizing between the host and players.

After two hours of attempts with different people hosting, we gave up. I stayed around and had a fantastic co-op game with six us our members. So, I'm not sure what the problem was, but it seems to be numbers based.

I think our league would be up for doing this again with the goal of helping debug problems, because as things stand now, it's not working with that many folks.

Thank you for trying this out. We have never tested with that many people. I am very disappointed that you never were able to get it working. I do not know why it would not work. I have a new goal now! 14!

It was quite a sight to see all of us there, and we did get into battle for a little before people started crashing. Hopefully with some tinkering we can get it to work.

Boy, if Norb & Co. can get this many players in a MP game that would be awesome....
