Sorry you are having problems. MP worked in out tests, and I can see in server logs that many games finish successfully. But when something goes wrong with the game, it can quickly spiral out of control, as probably happened to you.

First patch is almost out of the door, but I'll try to add private challenges in there already, so that creating games with your friend is more comfortable.

As for the problem you've encountered, could you please give a bit more information? What map was it? Was it a PBEM or online game, and in the latter case did the game start properly and could you see the opponent's moves in real time? Did the crash occur for the player who was playing his turn, or the one watching, and what was happening in the game at this moment? etc. As soon as we can pinpoint what exactly happened, we should be able to fix it.

PS. Every time you have a crash, please make sure you send the report using Unreal's crash reporter. We are getting all these crashes, and it will additionally help us to debug the problem.

Hi,

My friend and I have been trying to play co-op together on Husky Assault. We have gotten various issues, from being out of sync, to most recently not being able to do anything (most likely also due to ending up being out of sync). The games we created just auto-crash when we try to rejoin and it does not seem possible to get a co-op game going.
The multiplayer patch you are talking about- how far off is it and what does it actually patch? Will it improve the issues we are having with co-op.
The game we are playing is Online I would think? You can't really chose as far as I can see wether the game is PBEM or online. We both join at same time and play together at same time. I can see my friend move his troops, and he can see me move mine (at least until the game stops working).
As with the person above - we can't re-join the games and they won't go away (most likely due to being corrupt).

Edit: Oh - and for clarity: we are using our Steam accounts when we log on, not our Slitherine accounts.

My Friend and I are both having exactly the same problem as the OP and LionSaurus, do you have an ETA on the fix as we are really looking forward to playing this but it is impossible at present

Same here. Very promising game, extremely frustrating coop. At the moment cant do more than 8-10 rounds tops before we get synch issues and AI takes over and game stops responding. would appreciate if this was prioritised. An ETA would be fine. In these times nothing would be better to meet friends online and relive some epic wwII scenarios to take our minds of this awfull reality of ours.

Well said and agree fully. I am really keen on getting to play this game, but only for the co-op experience.
I'm curious - does co-op actually work for anyone at all?
