Multiplayer desync

[Punisher]

My friend and me played from 800 to 1160 with no problems. But now it always desyncs after 10 seconds upon loading the game. Is there a fix for that problem? - Also is it normal that joining a mp game takes up to 15 min? (both have the game on ssd and good internet connection)

when did the desyncs start happening? Before or after the T&T update? Cause with the new travel mechanic, practically multiple events happen every 5 days for a bunch of characters (all the traveling events, all the tour events, all the meet peers events, ect.).

so it might be cause of all that, or if you guys have mods they could be out of date? Try lowering your speed to see if the desyncs happen less often

We started playing this save with the new update. No mods.
We tried playing at lower speed and it worked for like 5 years before it desyncs again. That's sadly not an option because playing 5 years and then having to load again for 15 minutes is horrible.

Seems this is a common issue. There were desyncs before the update, but not nearly this bad. Could barely play 40 years with a group of 5 before desyncs became too much of an issue. Even with only 2 people, it desyncs often now. I believe it is due to the travel of AI characters overloading the servers. Almost unplayable for any decent period of time in multiplayer now.

Constant MP Desync

Title. I cannot play a multiplayer game with friends for more than like 5 minutes without a desync. This is so ridiculous. We are all on vanilla and fresh installs. What is happening PDX? Longtime supporter and have every DLC and have never seen such awful MP stability in one of your games. I know its not exactly PDX's forte, but this is absurd. We can not even play a game, it's genuinely unplayable like this. What do I do?

Multiplayer still desyncing, solutions?

Anyone have any answers on this? My game I'm hosting with one other friend keeps desyncing...

Me and my bro just tried to start playing and every time we unpause the game it desyncs :/

Out of Sync

Its horrible to play with a Friend. We are playing together for one Week now and since 4 days we have every Day Out of Sync Problems and trying it almost 2 Hours long, that we can play. We are trying every single Tipp we found on the internet, but today nothing work. Im so frustrated!

I read from a topic on paradox forums that if you just slide the desync message pop-up out of the screen you can continue playing! It worked for us! :)

Since last DLC, can"t play multiplayer to due to constant desync (even with playing at X2 speed as recommended)

ALways double check the OOS message that pops up.

OOS in Players is usually ok.
Its when it gets specific in its message that you should worry a little.

After moving the desync off the screen and continuing, have the others playing with you raise their armies to see if they can move them, if they cannot, they are ACTUALLY desynced. Other things liek the inability to end a war or select other decisions may indicate the same thing.

I hosted a session with 18 heads yesterday, while a little sloppy it was still playable
