EU4 error codes, and what do they mean?

[chillin]

so ive been looking for an explanation for the desync error code on mp v 1.9.x the code is error N_5_8_87 any idea where i can find what this means?

These are documented in the Paradox EU4 MP forum pinned threads.

N means no-one hotjoined. The numbers mean various game functions got out of sync. As there was more than one, it's a serious loss of sync in this case. Best for the Host to save, everyone exit and restart the game.

If this tends to happen to the same person all the time, run slower. And have him manually delete his documents/paradox/eu4/gfx/ folder.
