    Constant De-sync in Settlers IV online

    Tried with much hope to play some on-line SIV games with friends this evening, but unfortunately we ran into the old, very known issue of desyncs after 10-15 minutes...

    Were no improvements made on the netcode?

    The best workaround we found was to constantly save every few minutes and then restore from the not-desynced versions. Very disappointed after waiting so long...

    Funny thing. I could play S4 on windows 10 without history edition(using DXGL). Personly I thought this(desynch) is the only thing/bug which needed to be fixed in this game / edition to make it perfect and never-stop-playing. I'll wait to see how things go. Without fix there no point for me to buy this 'new edition'.

    I can only give a few points I learned dealing/playing with desynch.
    ->The map Islands(4 players) should be fine I do not remember myself having any desynch there. Didnt find any other map to play without desynch.
    ->On other maps, the more players the more often desynch happens.
    When You see an error message in the game you are actually done and nothing will help you to bring back 'health status'. I would not consider frequent saving as a 'solution' for desynch. I believe that desynch problem raises polynomially. The latter you save from internal code bug the more often you have to save game. There have been cases that we saved game every 5 minutes and loaded and desych still occured....

    While playing we made regular save files and so happened we made a save RIGHT before a desync occured, like less than a minute.
    After restarting all our games and loading the save again, we managed to finish the game without any desyncs.

    So doesn't seem like a strict bug, more of a network timeout that randomly occurs or a very specific action that fails to sync which we didn't do the second run/..

    Settlers 4 multiplayer out of sync :( :( :( :@

    Damn.

    I bought the new settlers serie and expect a normal multiplayer game. Still the f*cking out of sync bug. Why is this happening is a new released version? This was the very very anoying bug in the last 15 years. Why can't ubisoft fix this bug in the new edition?

    I played with a friend 2 against AI. And after 30 minutes orso the out of sync bug... Waste of my time this evening. So bad.

    Totally unhappy! Thinking about a refund
