Multiplayer

November 30, 2018 12:58:59 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Where do I go for a multiplayer game? There are no games on the setup screen to join. Is there a ladder community or something?

Is multiplayer functioning well?

I can say from personal experience that

1. nobody who owns the GOG version is paying much attention to the MP or the GOG forums as I've been unable to find more than one person to play with,  and

2. starting and playing MP games works fine in my experience.  Restoring a saved session,  on the other hand,  has never worked for me,  and support has not replied to my support post since July or so.   Make of that what you will,  to me it says Stardock is not all that interested in Galciv3 multiplayer.

I've never played multiplayer so I can't directly help you, but you might have some luck posting in the #multiplayer channel of the GC3 Discord channel https://discord.gg/galciv

MP (Steam version) works very well ...

Even with an modded version (yes - MP AND modded ..) and the biggest Map size (that is default only available in single player ..)

Save/Load works without Problems (if you have an capable PC and Net connection ..)  - but imho it is nearly all time only "private" MP - understandable, i dont play 200 rounds with unknow players and he quit, and i lost hours of time for nothing ...

So "i" would not start/have interest in "open" MP games ...

 

Regards
