Game freezing if i am host

Post by Keee222 »

ok i am hosting 8 players with 1k dsl connection after there are to much units the game is freezing for 1 min - 10000 min( its lagging/freezing if i send many units to go somewhere)
why is it freezing? if I play skirmish or join a other internet game it doesnt, no matter how much units are there
my pc is ok and i have windows 7 , i dont understand why it is freezing, cant that be fixxed? i can't play normal if i am host

firewall isnt blocking it
all people had a ping of 100
the game always hang up and i have to restart it
thats always the same with the multiplayer, strange multiplayermodus?

Because of the crappy original netcode. Discussed over 9000 times and, most importantly, fixed in master by a full netcode rewrite (that's why we are presented with special alpha builds -> to finally enjoy a network game free of hangs, lags and desynchs).

Still, hosting smaller maps with less people decreases host hangs to almost nothing.
