How is multiplayer with this game?

[Frienby]

Hello steam folks! If any of you have played the multiplayer, then I would love to know how it is has gone for you. Are there desyncs or crashes? Any of the usual problems big strategy games have with multiplayer or is it all smooth and stable?

I've only played with a friend and have had 0 desyncs and crashes even in a 7-8 hour game.

i and my friends have had desync, one was after a couple hours between 2 other friends and lest night after 5 min, prob is we never we notified, so he won and i also won....makes total sense

I had no issues running the game one a comparativly old hardware.
There are quality of life improvements for multiplayer like AI-takeover: AI can take over player who leave and palyers can take over AI or empty player during the game with hot-joining.

Overal engine seems very stable and smooth,
but there seems to be a tiny amount of people having issues and linux may also have issues playing together with windows. Some people posted workaround for the later, but I do not know of they work to fix the issue.

I played a game with a buddy of mine, no issues over those few hours. However the two times I've tried joining a public lobby I got disconnected after 10-30 minutes. I think I recall reading they were going to increase server capacity, so might try again in a few days.

Cool, thanks for all the feedback everyone! Sounds like it is pretty smooth for a newer release, hope they iron out the few problems folks have had

I can't play multiplayer without desyncing.

I might be speaking prematurely but I had my first mp game a few days ago and while I fully expected to crash out a few times, I not only did not get crashed out there wasn't even so much as a stutter. There was 6 players on that map including 3 AI's. I am impressed thus far.

Works fine on a technical level but the gameplay itself is a bit busted right now tbh. As expected from a newly-released RTS, a handful of strategies are kinda unstoppable and some units have bugs so they don't work as intended.

Still fun, buy it.

I played with 3 friends for about 4 hours, no issues at all other than performance drop when zoomed in during massive combat.

I played a 3 hours match with 2 buddies against AI and it went fine.
