Multiplayer Lag 4 years in (unplayable after)

[Duke of Orleans]

Myself and two friends have been having issues with Stellaris (no other Paradox title) when it comes to lagging behind the days in our MP session. We get to around year 4 before we arent able to progress as one player just lags and never catches up. We were hoping this would clear up with the Herbert update, but no avail. We all are able to player SP until end game with no issues and our internet connections are all the same (we're in the same house!).

Any ideas? I have searched and looked but I haven't been able to find a remedy to this constant delay that we can't get over. We have started with different galaxies, sizes, AIs present, everything. Nothing has worked yet to let us actually move even a a bit further into the game.

Have you started a new game since yesterday's patch?

Dos this happen in any sized galaxy?

Does it matter who is host?

In the game launcher have all players select Cross-store MP in he drop list next to PLAY. Does that change anything?

We had tried since yesterday's patch, yes. In fact we were waiting for it to see if it fixed it.

For this new try, we selected Cross-store MP and had the friend who has the lag issue host the game.

Went 100 years before we saved and stopped.

THANK YOU! This worked and we finally can play together!

Again, a million thanks!
