Multiplayer
Tried to set up a MP game...got all the way through creating it and when I clicked to create the game, I got 'Unknown error'. Now in my haste to just start playing
I may have missed that MP isn't setup yet???

Re: Multiplayer
The current EAP version will support multiplayer skirmish games.
Unfortunately there appears to be a server issue right now which will hopefully be resolved soon.

Re: Multiplayer
working great now...thx Pip!
Re: Multiplayer
Good to hear it's fixed. As a general comment, there do appear to be an increasing frequency and type of server problems recently. Any particular reason?

Re: Multiplayer
No specifics - it's been mainly bad luck with a wide variety of causes. Some of them, though, are because we are upgrading and improving the wider system as the load becomes heavier. More people playing the games online is a great problem to have, but does require some management to try and keep up with the traffic.

Re: Multiplayer
Indeed! Apart from these outages / issues, the MP system is very player friendly. Looking forward to some BA 2 MP matches!
Thanks Pip.
Thanks Pip.

Re: Multiplayer
No - everything should be running as expected. I tried it out here just now - but your message seems to be from during the night. I will check into it.

Re: Multiplayer
Are you continuing to have issues with multiplayer? At what point did the error occur - login, downloading your turn, uploading your turn?pomakli wrote:Sorry, but MP doesn't work again..

Re: Multiplayer
Just logged in (1740 EST) and it took about 90 seconds to log in...normally 4-5 seconds. Just thought I would post it as it seems out of the ordinary...
Re: Multiplayer
I have 5 MP matches going on right now.
4 seem to be working fine.
But one is now giving me a message when I try to play my turn ... FAILED TO LOAD FILE CHECK TO MAKE SURE CAMPAIGN IS STILL INSTALLED
It is a Wilderness skirmish ... just bad luck?

Re: Multiplayer
I would like to take a look at this game and see what the issue is. What is the name of your opponent in the game that is not working?mowby1 wrote:I have 5 MP matches going on right now.

Re: Multiplayer
Thanks, I'm not sure if we will be able to recover that game, but it will help troubleshoot the source of the problem.
