Game keeps desyncing?
Is anyone else having this problem? Since 1.7.0 dropped, me and my friends have been practically unable to play the game because of frequent and severe desync issues. Every few months ingame, the game desyncs. When I click the button to resync, the game crashes and locks itself onto the screen. It's impossible to use task manager to end the task because the game can't be minimized and is stuck in the foreground. This means everyone in the game has to hard restart their computers. Since the game crashes, it also kicks us back to the last autosave if we try to play again.

EDIT: This is only the worst of the bugs. There are a variety of severe bugs encountered by one or all of us. Sometimes the game doesn't realize it's been closed, or can't be started. I have more than one friend who's steam and discord has said they are playing HOI4 since 1.7.0 dropped because it's glitched even though they are playing other games, or even offline entirely.

This whole update seems like it was duct taped together and than thrown off a cliff to land mangled at our feet. 1.6.1 worked fine. Couldn't they have just waited a few weeks or a month or whatever to make sure th update actually worked before dumping it on us?

Devs have talked about the desyncs and that they are working on a patch. Search for the latest dev diary or version 1.7.1.

They should've just fixed the bugs before release. It's not like the bugs are hard to find or something. Most of the bugs can be found just by clicking the play button. The rest occur after a few months ingame and repeat regularly. All they had to do was playtest the game in multiplayer for like 15 minutes.

I played it yesterday for the first Time, with Desync like every hour. Today i get Desync every 5 minutes, even with a new game. Ryzen 2700x and 50+mbit/s Internet...
