Theoretically it should still be possible if all participants have exactly the same mods. Same version and everything.
But I may be wrong here.
I believe that's been tried but with no luck.

The version checking is very strict - even to the point where there's a bug that causes the match to exit if the languages are not compatible.
 
I followed the step and keep getting the error "Unable to Establish Comstar Connection" when signing in. Clicking multiplayer will not let me proceed without signing in.
I can confirm this. The login check will give a different error with a bad password, and using my correct credentials, I'm not able to log in to play multiplayer anymore. @TinyWiking @AndrewT do you have any insight that you can share?

Unfortunately no and since HBS is no longer part of Paradox I don't think there's much we can do since they did all the development, we just published it ><. I'll ask around the office and see if someone has any suggestions but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is a server error on PDX side - it has happened several times before in the past and was fixed by PDX

Much appreciated!

Just bought a second copy of the game to play with kids and we only got a couple games in before this error locked us out. :(

Our family is cheering you on to find a resolution!
 
I wrote this yesterday and forgot to click post before leaving the office, gg, wp ><
We are looking into this but the truth is we don't know if we can solve it. The game was built by HBS and since we parted ways a year ago there is no one left that has done anything game related. We're checking to see if the problem is on our end but if it's not then the game will require a patch and that's most likely not going to happen since, again, we have never done any development for it.

I'd also like to clarify that I made the original post about how to play MP games on behalf of HBS, I actually don't know the innerworkings of the game itself.
 
Alright gang, can you please try again :D? One of my colleagues performed a sacred ritual and it could be fixed now :D!
