As a following of my post ( Lobbies more bugged than ever - I can't play the game ) I am adding this issue that I never saw before.

In the lobby lists, there are “dead” lobbies which appear, only having 1/8 players but actually having more inside if you check the room on the right.

I feel it is useful to mention this since, even though the dead lobbies aren’t a new thing, we’ve been asking for a fix for months now, I never saw this type of bugged lobbies before where it always shows 1/8 players with more players inside.

Of course, when you try to join, you get an error.

  3. Enjoy the error

Lobbies which show up in the list are supposed to be functional. Please fix the lobbies before making a new patch that adds ducks on Arabia. Thank you for your attention.

Finally, 9 playerlobbies are part of this game 11

Edit:
Just wanna point out: the Aztec symbol of second player migth be bugged as well. Seen this often and never ever anyone in the lobby actually has Aztecs as their civ. Not a big problem, I get that, but it should have been fixed long ago, considering the publisher is not an indie game dev on himself…

The lobbies do not appear in the research list, I refresh and refresh in vain, I can’t find anything.

I can’t host either, I see the “timed out” error, which I never saw before, eversince DE came out, but now I see it everytime I’m trying to make a game.

And on top of that, when I miraculously manage to get a full lobby, the game won’t start, it’s forever stuck in “5… 4… 3… 2… 1… waiting to start the game”. Or it can also be stuck in the loading screen… Or it takes forever to load and somebody crashed in the meantime.

FIX THE LOBBIES PLEASE ! This is a little more important than removing the ponds on Arabia.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  3. Or try to create a lobby

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

The lobbies list would appear normally, without the need to refresh 5 times, with only real functioning lobbies, and I would be able to rapidly create a lobby without any problem, and the game would start after the countdown, wouldn’t be stuck in the loading screen, and wouldn’t crash.

Yeah I’ve been getting more Polling errors and sometimes the game gets stuck in the loading screen for multiplayer.




All of this was over the course of 36 hours these are the screenshots that I captured, and at least 6 out of 10 games I load into has these things happen. When it gets stuck in the loading screen I’m forced to alt-f4 which contributes to the alt-f4 problem and if the devs add a penalty for that it would spell disaster especially when it’s not the persons fault, for abysmal connection.

Funny thing as well: often it shows something like 3/8 players in lobby, if you click it you can see the names of the ppl inside the lobby, and there you see 8 or 7 people in, while number still shows 3 11
Havent noticed that before

Yeah I noticed that… but what am I gonna do ? I don’t see myself making 100 posts about every bug of the lobbies and the units pathing.

I’m confused how updating this game messes up with the lobby browser? Are there adjustments being made to the lobby browser in the patch updates? Cause lobby browser even more broken than before. Now it keeps saying there are no games matching my parameters… Forever.

Normally after a few minutes it’ll fix itself, but just tried waiting like 10 mins and nothing.

How is this only affecting some people too? Bugged lobby system obv discriminatory.

I make real world maps, in both luducruis and giant size, recently, i’ve tried to host maps in giant size, and once the lobby fills and i press the start option, it takes around 2 or 3 minutes for the game to load in, then sometimes after it finally loads in, 2 or 3 people desync for no reason, this has been happening for months, but has popped up constantly now (In all of the lobbies i make)

:point_down: After every game my elo rank doesn’t move up or down and whenever that happens and I try to play the next game I get stuck in a timer that will never end and when I leave the lobby then go back in the previous timer is still going. The only way to fix this problem is to quit my game then go back on. I have to this for every game I play both ranked and quick match.

yup have that problem to as well yesterday and today. Plus a couple of days ago I couldn’t play 2 games in a row both ranked and unranked because, I would be stuck in a permanent timer that doesn’t stop even if I leave the lobby unless, I shut my game of then start the game again. I made my own post about it with a video, just scroll down through the bug reports till you see my face.
