[76561198154707722]

Update: The update is now live on PC, Mac and Linux. Enjoy!

Original post: "After the latest balance patch for Civ V, we received a number of reports on instability in multiplayer matches. We have a hotfix in progress that should address recent issues with connectivity. This fix will only affect the multiplayer components of the game, and will not change any gameplay values or single player settings. We hope that this will improve the stability of multiplayer matches."

Address recent issues in multiplayer? Not trying be rude, but haven't the multiplayer issues been an ongoing, worsening problem for awhile now?

I've only had Civ 5 since Brave New World I think, but as far as I'm aware, the desync/game randomly reloading has been an ongoing problem in Civ 5 multiplayer that hasn't been addressed by the devs and is THE biggest reason for the games failure in multiplayer; because after a game would "reload" other glitches would happen in result of it, such as the players being unable to end a turn thus forcing the players to remake the game.

The multiplayer just seems extremely unstable and it's a shame because the game is incredible. Maybe it's just bad netcode?

But yeah, would love to get an ETA on this hotfix! <3

The last patch was meant to deal with some long-standing MP issues, it just inadvertently added some huge new ones. The last patch made things worse, so there's a need for a fix.

I see. Regardless I'm just happy these problems are finally being taken care of. This game is so much fun to play but has such a bad rep in multiplayer due to all the bugs.

Sweet! I need new friends to play with!

[KermaPeruna Simo Simonov]

I hope they do it fast...
