multiplayer extremely slow

[samus400]

So me and my friends felt like playing a nice game of crusader kings II, after I found there's new patch and new changes to CK2plus. So we all got the patches and mod and added in a few tweaks to landed titles, got ready to play when we find we cant even play together above 1 speed, when before we could play at 4 speed before. So I try single player with ck2 plus mods, delete our useless saves, try other games to test our connection and try playing multiplayer with out mods yet only one we get a problem on is the time we try to play multiplayer again. So what gives ? what's causing this major slow down between us?

No idea. Just to be clear you are getting slower MP speeds when played with no mods at all active? And this is only since what patch?

mods produce much more information that needs to be sent to all the players from the host's computer, so there is your answer.
The problem could be either the host not having enough upload or the clients not having enough download speed.

With no mods, nothing just clean slate game same problem. I have extra music on my game but surely that shouldn't effect it also I did add and change a few titles that the mod had whether that would effect it I don't know but we have played with this mod before and with the titles so I don't know what's causing it all of sudden. Well I cant pin point it but since 1.05f which before we were 1.04 we've had this problem

But we've played with this mod before :sad: so there has to be some added effect that's making the problem 10X worse which I'm not saying its game side could easily be us but still I don't know it worked on 1.04

I'm not aware anyone else is seeing this, but I have no real idea what your problem can be. Is it the same whether you play via the metaserver or direct IP?

If you are on wireless, you might try going wired instead.

Direct IP. Sorry not an option to go wired, but if it helps Im in the UK the host is in USA NC and another player is in Tokyo, maybe that's it but doesn't explain why its suddenly done it now rather than later. Really all I've done to the game is add music and titles really basic changes it has no excuse to act like this.

Well as I say, I'm not aware anyone else is getting this. What if the other two just play together, do they see it too? Who is being host - have you tried changing who hosts?

And, you should really try it without your modifications, just as a test.

Okay we will try again and Ill come back with the results
