Hi,
We got a big problem.Deilthedog and myself downloaded patch 1.08 and installed correctly.So we wanted to test new things done by patch 1.08 in MP games.Also we wanted to test save game would be reloadable.But damn,it wouldnt go.We saved in game,Deilthedog hosted,zipped only the big file of the save game and sendet to me.I extracted to right directory.So we started,but at the moment he switched the savegame,my game was frozen and must restart PC.Deil got english version,myself german without installing IGC.Whats wrong?

only german versions.......

yesterday we tried 5 hours to reload a game by sending only the big file around all players.3 guys got the german version and one guy swedish.SO wie tried same process with only 3 guys with german versions.But no success again.Is somebody there who had same problems or somebody who had no problems by sending the file with more than 2 players?I wonder that a 2 player game always succeded,why not 3,4...??
Somebody told me we should reload in game.But up to 5 players it will take more than 45 minutes to reload,except everybody got cable or higher.So we are 'only' isdn64k users,one guy got cable and he hosted

After sending the file to all players,we started all correctly,met in mp room for scenario choosing.All succeded.Everybody is able to choose his country,the host press start.it loads,loads, loads,but at the screen 'waiting on players' its frozen.My PC sounds like working for the game,but theres only the screen,mouse is available and not frozen,you are able to switch with alt+tab between desktop and screen,but you see no game.Especially the turkish music sounds out of my boxes.Everybody of players got this problem.Heeeeeeeeelp.Wheres patric,please help us,yesterday we didnt play one minute,we chated 5 hours,and thats not the sense of game?

my own doctor?`?

ok guys,
one case succeded.I tested for 2 hours with a guy got the swedish version.First he hosted and we tried all versions to reload the game,sending zipped,sending unzipped,reloading in game,in all cases my PC totally crashed.Then i hosted,we tried sending zipped and unzipped,picture was frozen at 'waiting on players'.Then we tried loading in game,and you`ll dont believe,game works fine.This is very mysterious i think,we treid two times with different save games by reloading in game,and it works fine.Anybody an idea to explain me that?Later we`ll try the same successfull process with more than 2 players.May god is with us.

I am the Swedish guy partly responsible for this scientific breakthrough. I was baffled by the experience -it defies logic.

The only time it would work was with a German host and when loading from within the game. That takes time, but if it's the only way to play, then what the hell.

Looking forward to future experiments. :)
 
Anyway, no one is answering the main question... :(

GV, are you the same Swedish guy from Dallas, TX we play with Friday and Saturday nights...=]

As far as the loading problem, we've been successful with 3 players, but 4 or more tends to cause problems when loading the game internally. We haven't tried sending the files to each other zipped or otherwise. I run a 750 Athelon with 128megs of RAM and a cable modem. Those who join in usually have 56k modems and we do pretty good.

reloading

I usually play 4-5 player games. When the game eventually crashes (to windows) for someone (like in single player, not connections fault) after 1-2 hours, we reload the autosave-file from within the game (mp chat-room). This is the easiest and quickest way to reload if you got a powerfull cable-modem. Never seen any problems doing it this way..
 
Yes i'm the swedish guy llive in dallas/TX i got 128 ISDN
we tried with sending the files thru ICq this friday and it worked fien untill i joined the game and it froze :(
i tried agian but it frozed again (figures)
i wasn't ready to gie up playing EU with my freinds so i tried with changing my name to kARLDXII (my name was KARLXII)
and i joined the game and i could chat and all but then after 2 min in the chat it froze AGAIN
so i changed my name to mohammad ALI
and joined the game and it work with out my comp froze. we played like 5 hours after that until everyones comp crashed exept mine i got dropped :)
i hope this help :) hehehe
i understand u if u don't understand my grammar
 
The Swedish.....

....version host and save.... Then it works....

I have been playing with German and UK versions and since 1.08 I have to host to get it working....

Must be a bug of some kind... How can Paradox forget the Swedish version !!!! The most important one ;-))
 
Do you still have 1.07c version of campaigns in multiplayer mode? I erased mine and it went much better...

No one understand..........

I succeded last days in a few tests of reloading with 2 players(english-geman version and swedish-german versions).Sometimes(!!!!!!???) it would succeded by reloading with 3 players got different versions.I think theres a 50:50 chance to have a reload success by more than 2 players.

Perhaps host is the reason for all that,Phil was hosting at our test with 3 players.He got strong config and ADSL,no problems.Even the reload by sending zipped files was successfull,i wondered.So way it wont work with a host got cable and strong config too?I dont play MP games so often til EU was there.But i cant remember i had such big problems with a multiplayer games.I thought there could be problems by high end games like ego-shoo0ters or someting like that,is Eu a high end game?Why are there so many problems?
Yesterday we wont test reload(i hate this word now,testing now reload for 3 weeks,no playing),so we played with 5 men,but in first 3 years one guy crashed to desktop,wondered it was his first crash since he got 1.08.We tried several times a game newstart,but alway one crashed to desktop,whats that now?No reload,no game,all shit.All got higher than modem56,host 750mhz and 128ram,game works very fine,speed was good,all right.But suddenly one left game.No one understand.

ok GV,from now on all men would call themselves Mohammed ALi,I,II,III,IV.Right.So our game wouldnt crash anymore?Mohammed ALi was a great boxer,no he would help us with good working EU?I can really believe that,nothing is unpossible with EU,why the men of Paradox didnt wait some months with releasing this game??Its fantastic game but alway problems or is there any one got fun to test 3 weeks for a reload,then last solution,call you Mohammed Ali!!hehe,all right?

Wilhelm
 
i forgot...

heres no really answer to my question,perhaps theres one man able to explain me where the problem could be.

-What is minimum config of host
-Muhammed Ali solution right?(yeah)
-whats minimum config for only players,not host
-right to send only big file of savegame?
-could there be conflicts if there are men with different winzip versions?

i heard if host is very good,men with modem5k could join,thats right?

German Version

Hi all!

Could it be the game is crached because we had 3 german version and 2 english version yeterday evening?? Should we take only german version? Why all other games run in Multiplayer?

Werter Herr, u think that anybody from Paradox answer our question????? He Parodox, do u think its funny to play a GC from 1492 to 1495? There are many customers which have the right to play EU in Multiplayer.
