Who's given up on MP?

[DrFell]

Looks like a lot of people have given up on MP actually. This forum is less busy than civ2 MP. Looks like civ3 may be legally dead.

I'm still waiting to try MP... I'll hopefully get an internet connection in 2-3 weeks and will try it against a friend of mine then. If any of you have finished an MP game, how long did you play? I (and my friend I think) like long, good games with time to build up an empire, so I wouldn't really mind spending a weekend on it...

I tried MP on a 56k for the first time and it worked just fine.

I worked for me too.

Maybe a little bit slow, but bugless.

I think a lot of the problem with lag is perception. IOW, whether it is acceptable or not is in the eye of the beholder.

To me a one second lag is no biggie, but it is unacceptable to DrFell. That would also explain some of the 'is too'... 'is not' threads.

I haven't played multplayer online for quite some time

but I am trying to set up a 8 person lan game for next weekedn

I think I will go back to online play, my expereince with NYE was not bad (but with random people on the net it was)

Sad but true. I left it for dungeon siege and unreal 2. The only thing that still interests me is the PtW-democracy game.

The next patch is the last chance for MP. If it still doesn't work, I'll never play it again.

[WarpStorm]

I'm guessing that the patch will be out in 2 weeks or so. It has just about gotten rid of OOS errors totally and reduced lag a whole lot. And under DirectX9 most router issues are handled automagically (at least mine were).

I'd say that Civ3 MP is just going to get started.

WarpStorm,
Are you PtW patch betatester?
(yes, I know that you were PtW betatester)
