Waffen's Tuesday/Thursday game Canceled until further notice

Well.. Tonight was interesting. Over 12 people showed up in the VNet lobby and we split into two games.

However, both games lost players repeatidly. Neither game got more than a few months into the games before having to reload. Most crashes seemed to be results of the chat bug, but not all.

After a short time, we all got frustrated once again. In fact we were getting more crashes than with 1.02, even when we dropped down to 4 players.

So, until further notice, I'm canceling the Tuesday/Thursday game group. I'll keep an eye out here for 1.05 and test again when that comes out, but until then I think I need a break.

Thanks to all the loyal players who came out once again for you patience and time! Hope to see you all at a later date, when things improve a little more!

Yeah it was kool even tho we crashed 7 times in 2 hours of play...
Kool to see so much dedicated players...

When we drop to 4 players we got only 2 crashes in 4-5 hours so i guess the game cant handle more...not for now...

BTW sorry for leaving you Waffen i didnt want 1 to be left alone...
 
have you guys tried just direct connect to the host's IP, without using the chat feature at all? I know it's got to be tough to do, but does anyone know if not tempting fate with the chat bug would save the game from crashing as much?

I've never tried playing through ValkyrieNet, so I don't know if that adds to the problems...
 
Waffen...thanx again for organizing the games.I think that after all the crashes we had in the last session of our previous game together with all the crashes last night we really need a break so we can approach the next update with a good attitude. E-mail me when you are ready to test 1.05.
 
It´s a shame they can´t get a MP working in all versions of the game.. I haven´t had a crash for a long time now thught so it would be interesting to host one of your games with the nordic version of the game. Let me know if any of you would be interested in a game this weekend.
 
I find it weird too. The versions are identical, the only difference is the modifications done by the copy-protection on the NA version.

However, it WILL crash rather quickly if ANYONE has modified their leader tables or events, since that machine will refer to an entity not present.

I will make certain that the entire DB folder is identical for version checking when joining a game from now on.

I think you have a misconception. V-net is not what causes crashes. Direct connecting through IP is not what causes crashes. What causes crashes, Count, is when you try to TALK once you're in the game and playing. Chatting in the V-net lobby does not cause or add to crashing problems.

That's a great idea. I've never thought to ask if anyone had modified any files, as whenever I do this I do it with a copy of the installation.

I have noticed that some people tend to crash more frequently than others. I've always assumed it was some system related problem, but I'll remember this next time I run into repeated crashes.

As for playing a game with a nordic host - I'd be curious to try and see if it runs smoother. Time differences are unfortunately pretty harsh. When are you available to play this weekend, Taz?

Well, I don't think Johan is having much success tracking down the chat crash problem, so I think at the end of the wait, they'll be disappointed.

I can't reproduce it, and nobody with the problem and a scandinavian retail cd have contacted me.

Just point me in the right direction for picking up a scandinavian version of the game and what to do next and I will gladly help:) I would love to see MP more stable, maybe then even more people would play, and join the BUB Clan:D
