Hello,

i've bought Startopia quite a while ago. Back then, we played the game by using a vlan client but the game tended to desync after half an hour or slightly more. Since there are no MP savegames, it was the reason why we stopped playing ST back then. Even with 2 players it was sure that it would desync at soem point.

Has been a patch or mod released in the meanwhile who possibly fixed this problem? Any clarification much appriciated, thanks.

Well, the official patch allowed you to save and resume multi-player games but it didn't resolve many of the crash/sync problems. I put quite a bit of effort into rewriting all of the game's scripts to remove triggers (whilst maintaining all of the game's features) in the hope it would cure the multi-player issues. It didn't. As a result, I also stopped playing StarTopia even though it was one of my favourite games.

I'm hoping that the GoG version has finally resolved these issues and have requested more information in the forum. Hopefully, someone can tell us whether the remaining issues were finally resolved or not.


Daniel.
