Singer-player runs great; Multi-player is a mess

With a high end PC

Posted on Sunday, March 8, 2015

My friend and I are completely burned out of playing GalCiv 3. I love the game and he, being new to the series, is really becoming quite enamoured with it. We have tried to play so many new games but each one ends up the same way; turns get locked out and stuck on grey for one of us meaning we both have to restart the game, load up an old save and start the cycle again.

We tried to play yesterday hoping that we could get atleast a few dozen turns in before it happened again. One turn in and the game locked us out of the turn button. We could both still manipulate the game, but when it said it was our turn the turn button was greyed out saying "wait". We gave up and said we wouldn't come back to it for a long while.

There doesn't seem to be a pattern to why this is happening. There are no crashdumps I think I can submit. I'm just a little miffed that a game in Beta 4 is still this unstable.
