Increasingly worse crashing problems with every build since 2A.

from Stardock Forums

Has ANYONE had crashing problems that have only got worse and worse since the introduction of Beta 2A? These crashes only occur in lobbies or when connecting to lobbies. I play with a group of 4 friends and we've pretty much given up on ever playing all together because getting 4 people in one lobby without at least one of us (if not 3 of us) being constantly crashed on lobby join is a complete pain in the ass.

I'm sorry to be vulgar about it and I know this is a beta but I don't understand how things can get worse as the beta progresses. I never crashed a single time during any of the Beta 1 tests, and those were supposed to be the crash/engine tests. Then we go into multiplayer connectivity and everything goes to hell.

Has anyone else had these problems and perhaps figured out a solution?

Only reason crashes have worsened since beta 1 is since we were using Hamachi which didnt require Stardock to write up a whole new crazy netcode (I think..). Correct me if im wrong but crashes have improved a lot since beta 2C? 2B -> 2C really introduced a lot of crashes but I thought they were basically gone now in 2D. Are you sure your having these crashes because of the new Beta or could be because of the servers and facilitator crashing/messing up recently?

As additional elements are introduced, crashes are likely to go up before they go down.
