BUG - Custom races not loading in MP

June 1, 2015 5:45 AM from

Hello,

maybe it was just an issue we alone had... but maybe not.

Yestarday we tried to create a new MP game (with the lastest opt-in for alle 3 of us). We tried to create the game several times, but never successfull because the loading screen did not progress and stayed by "uplaoding (or something like that) custom races". We waited on this "message" for about 5-10 mins but nothing happened. I was the only one (out of the 3 of us) with 3 custom races made.

We managed to start the game only after I deleted them all...

Should we have just waited ? (i mean we waited like 5-10 mins, but maybe it requires longer?)

Or is this a bug?

Or do custom races need to be shared among the player (send them the files)before creating a new game?

thanks!

We encountered this yesterday as well but it worked on Friday. Once we got out of the Opt-in patch they started working again.

From the troubleshooting that I've just done, I discovered two things:

Any more than 3 custom factions, the game will not load. 3 custom factions seems to get in just fine, but any more than that, it will endlessly be stuck on Loading Custom Faction Data...

And I discovered that a few factions that were made in previous updates were corrupt, while others, again made in previous updates, were fine. *shrugs*
