We need to talk about CK3 MP optimisation

[Matsuru]

Hello !

I will try to keep this post short !

Despite loving CK3 and enjoying the updates, I have a problem that make me hating this game as much as I love it : The multiplayer games.

I think that CK3 is designed to have the best experiences on Solo games, and do it without flaws, but it's also a great game to enjoy with friend.

From the day I buyed the game every multiplayer game was fun, until it was frustrating because of a synchronisation crash. I never finished a multiplayer game since every game until now got this sync problem. Sure, we can always "restart", but that's frustrating. And that's even more present when we play with more players.

I would like to know the rates of player getting this issue. I found a "way" to let us continue playing on the same game for more time but, each time this way is used, the time between desync is shorter.

If that's an issue that is present for most peoples, I would like to ask Devs to work on it, even if I know that this is a lot of work and that will be far from easy.

Thanks for your future answer guys !

The Desyncs are still present in 1.19 but are alot less frequent then 1.18.

If you resync too fast, people will crash, so just wait a few seconds for all player to get the OOS popup before resyncing. If a Desyncs rapidly fires, you'll need to restart your game.

Keep in mind that every OOS you have, a copy of the game in made in your Documents. make sure to clear out the OOS folder, or it will flood with old backups

Hey ! Thanks for your answer !
Even with this, desynchronosation are occuring. To get a "solution" the only way is to edit the save and remove default character selection for players but editing the save requier a 3rd party software :/
