Still crashing on 1v1v1v1 from the MP campaign transition in to RTS mode. 2vs2 worked fine.

My friend and I still get desyncs when attempting to play 2v2 against the AI. Before we received desyncs at the beginning of the RTS battles, now they seem to occur during the middle of said battles. His thread is here:

http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=468771#Post468771

It should be noted, as he states in his thread, that we can play skirmish fine, and the strategic part of of the multiplayer campaign mode fine. But RTS battles within the multiplayer campaign mode have always desynced. We both submitted our reports, hopefully that will help you solve this issue.

Got a Crash 2vs2 only AI and me.

Can we see specifics about the changes? (balance at least?) Thanks!

Will the skirmish AI be harder to beat and also uses their own Dragons? They are a bit too weak now, since the player can use theirs but AI cant.

The game is awesome so far though.

I still get crashes after every single battle and the land textures don't seem the load so they appear black. =S

Other than these issue the game is awesome =D

Can anyone confirm that this crash is related to adding AI players in locked slots in the lobby?
if you don't lock the slots and then add AI players in it, it should not happen.

We'll do an update to resolve this crash as soon as possible.

I'll test that, will update

Okey, having done this twice, both adding AI on non-locked and on locked, I can confirm that it crashes the game. When loading is done the game crashes.

I can confirm it.

By lock the slots do you mean the lock button on the right? or just adding AI at all?

Because I get the crash without ever clicking the lock button.

EDIT: Also just tried it with 3 teams in 1vs1vs1 instead of 4 and it also crashes instantly.

Since the patch i was not able to finish 1 single Multiplayer Camapaign -.-

Yes, the lock button on the right side in the lobby window. There is an issue with adding an AI opponent to a locked slot with a skirmish or campaign battle, as well as a separate crash when having 3 or 4 factions going into battle in campaign mode (not an issue for skirmishes).

there is a new patch i just download it now

And now both the locked slot and 3/4 faction campaign crashes are fixed.

Yep, just checked the second one. The Bomber Balloon's bombs on its own unit is also fixed.

Still Desync Crash <.< man thats pretty annoying you play 30 Minutes - 60 Minutes then crash !!! -.-

I liked the new 5 seconds delay to spawn your dragon again after unsummoning it!

The increased dragon fire rate is nice, too, when holding down the left mouse button. I tried a free for all skirmish on default AI earlier, and won despite not doing great with the RTS part. In dragon form I still needed to rapid click sometimes, especially blitz attacking fighters with my dragon (I left building fighters too long and ran out of support) or taking out bombers before they got too close to my buildings or troops.
