[HELP!]

Hello there fellow conquerors and diplomats.

I recently bought EU and patched it to v1.7 (Swedish),
and it works pretty OK in singleplayer, even though it
does crash occasionally - but not enough to be a real pain.

However, when running a 2-player campaign a couple of times, me and my friend have experienced a LOT of crashing.

Sometimes we can play 50 years without a crash, then we have one or two per year for a while until we finally give up. Both of us have good (ADSL/Cable) connections and we're not suffering network problems.

Any ideas for quick fixes? Some setting that should be changed? Anything? Both my friend and I really enjoy the game, it's the best one I have personally bought for many years - definately worth all the money and more as well.

I would really love to be able to run multiplayer games without any crashes... or at least if it broke down every couple of hours or so it would be fine.. it's when the crashes start coming on every 3 minutes it comes tiresome.

My kind regards, and compliments on an excellent game.

ps. After crashes we have tried many things - rebooting,
restarting windows + shutting down all processes but explorer etc etc.. nothing seems to actually help.. or rather, sometimes everything works fine for a long time before the crashes start coming on again.
pps. I'm running Win98 and my friend is running WinME.
 
Hi there,
I can do little but extend my sympathies to you and your friend. To be awfully honest, I've played half a dozen GCs with a few buddies (all one-on-one) and we've also been the victims of pretty random crashes... until the next patch comes out (this wednesday) you can at least avoid the backslash key and right-clicking on windows in general. those two things crash the game in a heartbeat.
good luck,
tuna
 
MP bugs fixed in 1.08

Thank you for your replies!

I'm very pleased to hear that a load of bugs have been fixed. One question: Is there an official list of known bugs (e.g. what the previous poster said about the backslash key) that one could take part of?

Yes, there is an official announcement (check the announcment forum duhh ;)) however it isn't really that detailed. I've seen the 'alonge the way' notes for what has been fixed, however, so I feel fairly confident that the backslash problem will be gone =)
