Summary​

Buggy multiplayer

Description​

CK3 has for years had a ton of challenges with saves/game integrity in multiplayer. This is not one particular bug, but problems that Paradox has not fixed despite so much time having passed. They happen with different people, in different locations and with different machines and through the different versions. The bugs are so bad several of my friends have stopped playing. The typical problems are that we go out of sync, that people trying to log into the game are thrown out, that the game crashes (typically like a week into playing). The end result is usually a completely gamebreaking bug, where it is impossible to proceed with the current save, and we have to start a new game, or play another game entirely. This usually happens after updates, but a multiplayer game like this can go over months and even years, and Paradox should fix whatever makes it work so much worse than other multiplayer strategy games.

Steps to reproduce​

Start a multiplayer game
Try to load a save after some time has passed
Hope that you luck out and that the save is playable
