Multiplayer oddness |
I'm trying out a 1.08 multiplayer simultaneous, different machines, TCP/IP connection and am running into some strange behaviour.
The first turn I received an error, as host, that Player 1 empire (player connected to me) couldn't be read. I got a copy of the empire file and put it in the saved empires folder and the error hasn't come up since.
Research is ... interesting. At random intervals it seems like the AI grabs control from either of us. No matter what research was previously in the queue, it switches, usually to Military Science, Projectiles and Armour. We also get a whole wack of shiny new AI created ship & base designs, sometimes including duplicate ships, so I will have 2 Attack ships with the exact same components, ship name and version.
Sometimes it also obsoletes my shiny new ship creations ... sniff.
Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks & salutations
Thanks for the linkage cyclone, I'll post a reply over in that thread. Migth as well try to keep the forums in some sort of order.
Not that any of us are micromanagment freaks or anything. 
You're not the only one
You're not the only one seeing the problem, don't worry
