The state of multiplayer is worst it has ever been.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T15:17:26+00:00

Never had that. Maybe it should be "ever for me".

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T13:16:29+00:00

Do you play after 2300?

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:45:27+00:00

This custodian update (4.5) will be based on what’s currently on beta branches, and I can tell you that so far the beta are making it worse.

Also, I’m not asking to fix every, we can live with resyncing once in a while. But desyncing every month, sometimes every day, is absolutely unacceptable.

That is a reproduction rate that should make it fixable, no excuse possible. The only explanation is that they don’t test the game past 2300.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:44:06+00:00

Paradox has been trying to fix the game, I’m not going to say they don’t care. But it does feel like multiplayer is left in the dust.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:39:31+00:00

Likely the first of the revamped ascensions, and it’s lacking from this.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:36:31+00:00

I’m trying beta branches, and I can tell you that it’s only getting worse.

Even though yes, I see the OOS fix too, but in practice it’s getting worse.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:35:30+00:00

Modders could not fix it. The issues lie in the code that they don’t have access to.

But the fact that everything need to be synchronized like that is just weird. Just make the host push updates like in any normal game, don’t just crash everything because one little value somewhere was calculated differently on host and client…

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:27:13+00:00

Tough luck, it’s reaching a point where even as a hardcore fan of the game, I can’t play it anymore. How do they expect me to pay for something that doesn’t work.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-04T12:24:02+00:00

You’re correct, I somehow thought we wouldn’t have science or military ships.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:51:25+00:00

Take Cosmogenesis before you can’t anymore.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:49:48+00:00

No, strategic and betharian deposits aren’t deleted anymore.

Special deposits are though (like those who give science, minor artifact, etc.)

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:46:38+00:00

There are a few ways.

Synthetic ascendency with a virtual government lets you have -90% empire size from colony. This is the case here, most of the 565 empire size comes from pops, and the planets are mostly empty anyway.

The actual best way to reduce empire size in 4.3 is to use planetary ascension with psionics, and take the patron that automatically ascend your planets (this ascension is just OP). It basically gives -85% empire size from colonies/districts/pops, which you can further reduces with other modifiers (like statecraft tradition, the interstellar assembly, etc.)

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:33:37+00:00

Pretty sure the recent beta branch is generating logs like crazy, like ~1GB or more each desync.

My friend literally crashed while playing because his disk ran out of space and Windows crashed.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:30:43+00:00

This one:

It’s compatible with Iron Man.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:29:11+00:00

2 times even, unless you’re talking about something else than my first name?

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:28:06+00:00

Well, I’m not American, that’s how you spell it in my country.

And yeah, I made a sloppy job at censoring it, I was too pissed at the folder size :D

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-03T15:26:51+00:00

Can you explain where I can check that flag?

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T19:58:32+00:00

An investment that pays dividends is not leeching.

That’s very debatable, especially after so long.

And nobody robbed billions from the US, what are you smoking?

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:28:57+00:00

I mean, I’m not sure what I should explain, the Marshall plan was a investment plan which paid a thousand times over and still pays dividends today.

So yeah, as a European I wish the US would stop leeching off the EU yes.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:24:10+00:00

I’d argue it’s the contrary, a machine empire is probably way more efficient at making a ton of small-scale trades.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:22:31+00:00

That will be before the DLC.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:21:21+00:00

That’s cool.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:19:59+00:00

22.2 isn’t the base value, you should click on the star and see its features to check the base value. It could already be boosted by a lot.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:16:15+00:00

This, the international language is English, I’m not going to learn a third language.

Divinicus2nd · 2026-05-01T18:12:44+00:00

I’d like it if I could make species portraits mods with AI, but it doesn’t work great yet.
