Between the sync issues and the crashes both my, two player, online multiplayer games, 23 turns in and 29 turns in, respectively have completely frozen.
The 29 turn game keeps reverting to day 27, on the online multiplayer list, then, upon loading in, starts hyper fast forwarding to a combat I cleared; only the combat re-enacts the combat differently each time and freezes on the ai turn.
The 23 turn game is simply frozen on dawn of day 23 and crashes upon clicking anything.
What appears to be horrid latency began a few turns before this issue happened; during ai turn.
Been playing on simultaneous; does anyone know if classic has this issue online too?

My fears about this issue were expressed in my post on April 24th about the sync issues in AOW Planetfall... How long will it be until we can play this game with each other without fear of losing hours of gameplay?

With the online multiplayer completely unplayable in my experience thus far; I would expect they would be implementing, or at the very least announcing, a patch to fix this by now lest the game go the same way as Battleborn did for gearbox.

Some folks probably pretty angry they can't get a refund after that amount of time was spent to find this game breaker. I, at least, had unfortunately anticipated this issue and will be patiently waiting for a resolution of some kind.

I play hotseat mode with Parsec to avoid desync :meatytears:

Only thing I want is adjusting apperance in multi, disabling simultaneous turns helps many of your issues op.

How many turns have you been able to play ?
The same here. Tried playing with a friend on multiplayer. 2 times it completely froze. around turn 40. And... the most annoying part is waiting on AI longer then you play yourself. at the end it got as bad as waiting 15 minuttes on AI before next turn starts. I hope they resolve this issue, otherwise i feel scammed for money. The single player is nice, but not worth the money for full game + expansions $89....

Played a classic game with my friend, got to about turn 80, game frozen.
3/3 games I've played online rendered unplayable by glitches.
