Hey, i play Victoria with the latest patch(1.03C) and VIP(0.3C) version. In singleplayer it works great, i hardly ever get ctds, but i tried to play with my friend a while back and it wasnt so succesfull. I was able to connect to his server alright, and we were able to start the game and do the starting stuff while paused, when he letted the pause go, i get the usual start lag, but in about jan 2 i get latency message from my friend and immediately after that i get a ctd, while my friend was able to continue alright and this happened every single time we tried it. Whats wrong? Please help...
 
One for the experts in the MP forum.

A couple of ideas:
1. It could be the speed at which you are running the game. Try running at slow or very slow and see if that stops the latency/lag.

2. A known bug is the annex/alliance bug. When you attack a minor in an alliance, and then annex it (the German minors are infamous for this), it will crash the game. Either satellite it and then annex it, or just wait until it has no allies.
 
1st of all I understand that vip is not very stable in mp, although I have not tried it. supposedly vanilla is a lot more stable.


what speed are you on, you will probably have to run slow or very slow at the beginning to prevent drops.
 
I think we have gone with the slowest speed so far, it cant be the alliance/annex bug because i ctd on jan 2 and neither of us has done anything that sort of stuff yet. Im not 100% positive on the speed tho, ill test it out later on today plus i optimized all my HDs last night, maybe thatll help. I will also test it without VIP.
 
We tried it with fully reinstalled Victoria+VIP and same thing kept happening. We also tried it with just normal Victoria and we were able to play for few months but then i got ctd again, this happened every time.... ahhh helppp!

We started with slowest speed and later on rised it to Slow but ah...
 
I think the VIP crash on jan 2 has something to do with the Piratini republic, with vanilla it may crah sometimes, but then just save the game and rehost and continue... after the first few years it will run a lot more stable
