Shortly after the Treaty expires, the lobby crashes or 50% of the players within the lobby go Out of Sync or crash entirely from the game. We have experienced these issues since the patch/update on 8-12-2025 and we have continuously posted and complained about the state of the game. Optimization for 400 max population is very questionable and I am trying to say these respectfully, we need a fix and we should not rely on a user made DataMod (New No Trade Collision) to make the game stable for us.

100%.

Still crashing BTW, I’m not sure if there are any dev’s that actually check the forums or care, but you guys just continue to add DLCs while refusing to fix problems in the community.
