To anyone attempting to play multiplayer with version 1.1 opt-in (https://forums.galciv3.com/467453):
I would love to get some games going. I heard this patch might have included a fix for the issues with playing custom races in MP. Please message me on steam if you want a game (username: GalacticWino) or reply here.
Quick Confirmation:
V 1.10 Multiplayer server code is allowing players to start games. Custom ships upload fine with standard civs, but my first opponent (who had game mods) crashed. However, custom factions will still not run at all. I got the "Loading Custom Faction Data" lock up before the game started just as in V 1.03.
Come play some multiplayer... just be prepared to play standard civs.
The only mod in place was one that removes the background nebula, and it was disabled.
Since the game was crashing on my end I submitted a support bundle with ticket #EQJ-980-62894.
When they make the temporary 1.1 patch more stable I'll update my version and give you a game or two
