Is multiplayer working for anyone ??

[Defiant Dan]

It seems MP is totally broken and all Games which had more then 1 Person where Lobbies waiting for Players, which then again crashed with Message "lost connection to server" after the Host started Game.....
And then i get this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Achievment "Out of Sync" for playing MP... do they think this is Funny ???
Its 2022 .. you can buy working Netcodes on the damn Asset Shops... how can it be the Game was years in early Access but has no working MP ?!?!?!?!???????????!???

Well for me its working since 1.02 was released .
As far as i could research the Press Review Version got leaked and Players using it would automatically get the "Player X was disconnected" Message
After 1.02 the Game works flawless since Pirates cant try to connect anymore
You need to look that you connect to 1.02 games all the other are Pirated Versions and wont work

it worked very well for me and a friend, but I heard it doesn't work if you use a VPN or if your provider got you an IPv6

At me nothing changed except the 1.02 update, since then everything works flawless...
Really good, Ai plays for lacking Players at start then during Game new Players can connect and take over from AI, and when Players leave AI also takes over..
When Host leaves the Game, there is Host Migration to next best PC, so even when the Host and all other Leave you could keep playing with AI and also save and load.

Yesterday we had a 10 Player Game on London... its really perfect MP now considering Netcode, no out of sync, no lag, no weird stuff.. all works like i hoped now

Do they have this needed Ports open ?
If you have a restrictive firewall then you may have to manually open the following outgoing ports to be able to play in multiplayer

61111 TCP & UDP
36895 TCP & UDP
36975 TCP & UDP

It works really good when the mentioned Ports are open, all there whats needed, Drop In MP, Ai Takeover, Host Migration....
Basically all the features which also allows Civilisation Games to be played MP

Problems where caused by the leaked Press Review Version and Pirate Players which had access to MP, but would automatically disconnect.
