Released - Restricted Multiplayer Content?!?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So...

 

This was a surprise to me. Custom races and multiplayer maps above huge have been removed. According to a post on steam, both been removed due to instability?

 

I question this since while I did have issues prior to 6.2, I was playing an immense map with custom races just fine. But if there is issues with it, I don't mind, but I would like to know how long these features will be removed from multiplayer for.

They'll be coming back shortly.   The problem, especially with the custom races, is that there's a lot of beta "stuff" that has been removed (or other traits added) that make them flaky in MP.

Ah ok, thanks for that Frogbay and much appreciated for the fast reply!

Having had access to custom races and larger map sizes during the beta for mp, I was very annoyed to see that they 'vanished' on release, frustrating considering I was looking forward to setting up a MP game.

But that's fine - glad that they are being worked on and refined for better use of play. Just wanted confirmation that they were coming back, glad that they are! :)

... have to agree, when I implemented that 14 races from the Stardock winning contest , game was unplayable in MP.
BUT WHAT IS WITH THAT "Ingame Editor" build races, they should be useable at least ?

Anyway wish the DEVS teh best for their release and hope for a big success, wo it will be improved with hundreds ADDONs (not DLC's, I really hate that DLC business model)
