Long story short: what is the better branch to play MP right now? 1.6.1 or 1.7 ??

Hi!

1.6.1 is the latest stable release. If you want to play a "proper" long running game you should use that one. The 1.7 is a beta branch and while we would really appreciate if you try that one as well there may be bugs which you should be aware of. However, If you try 1.7 it will give us more data to improve the new MP system with.

Still haven;t been able to join or create a game since the beta patch.
In 1.6 that still works fine. Hope they'll fix my problems. Can't be the only one?
When creating a game the light just keeps burning red, when trying to get a unique game ID and no active games can be listed.

Hi Myrath!

Would it be possible for you to run the game with the full log command as outlined in the original post? It's likely that you are behind a restricted firewall and either enabling UPnP or forwarding ports would fix the problem, but if you could send the logs that would help us trouble shoot.

New version of the MP beta with some gameplay fixes added is now available. It's under a different name so you'll need to opt in again to 1.7.2_beta. Details here:

Let us know how everything goes.

open your ports, the beta uses other ports as it doenst use the steam ones:
port 17780-17800 should be enough. Fritzbox users should allow auto port opening for stellaris.

Thanks Daywalker!

You are correct. Enabling UPnP should be the first step and if you can't or doesn't want to then opening ports manually is the best way. It's actually fewer ports that are strictly required. Opening 17780-17785 should be enough

we had a 27+ ppl game this night.

1.7.2 it was unplayable due to LAG, we tried different hosts with no success. (all hosts had host very large games before with no problems).

We switched back to adams and all the lag was gone, game went fluid with 27 ppl.

Something seems off with 1.7.2.

Hi Jiav!

Thanks for the report. Is it possible for you to run another session (even a smaller one might be enough) and run the game with stellaris.exe -pdxmp_max_log and send me the pdxmp log files?

Thanks!

Hi all, we've updated the multiplayer beta with a new branch name, "bradbury_beta". We're dropping 1.7.2_beta as a branch, as with new version numbers it is obsolete. The new bradbury_beta branch will auto-update in future with new beta builds, but for now you do need to re-opt in. In the long run this will make it easier for everyone to stay up-to-date:
