    Default Seriously, same thing from Napoleon (Coop Campaigns!)

    Already I've restarted my co-op campaign. Long settings, I am Hojo, my friend is Takeda. It is turn 56 and it locks up. I end my turn and it says it's his turn, then He ends his turn and it still says for me that it's his turn! Seriously CA this is really annoying, and I would like you guys to look it up more. I have my save files. It does this every time. First time Shimazu and Chosokabe, and now this. WTF?!

    The Co-op Campaign is just as borked as it was in Napoleon, yeh. Sadly my friend and i have had to abandon every game we've started so far, due to silly bugs, turn lock ups and worst of all, campaign desyncs, which follows a similar pattern with the previous title. I just hope CA actually fix it this time around, so we don't end up just forgetting about what COULD be one of the best features of the game.

    I don't hold out much hope though. They've had a few games to get this right now and they've yet to nail it. The net code seems like utter garbage.

    Yep, first two campaigns my friend and I played resulted in us getting rocked by the AI. The third one was a lot better, but as soon as we started to get rolling CTDs and lockups started to happen all the time. Now the game will disconnect every time you attempt to fight a battle, so we just stopped trying.

    It really is a shame too, the multiplayer campaign was a lot of fun and I find myself wishing for campaigns with more people so that more of my friends could join. Perhaps they will have all these issues ironed out by Rome 2.

    Just how effective is that? If i send my friend a copy of the save will it fix the Campaign for good or just until it goes POP again? and if so, how regular do you have to do this? I really want to finish my campaign with him as it was aces!

    Well with Nappy it'd get the game going again but if it de-synced again I had to stop then send him the save file again. And btw the file sizes we're talking here were almost 1GB big, on his internet it took forever.

    tl;dr It's a good temporary fix but it WILL break again

    Cheers, will give it a try. I just checked the file sizes of the quick saves i use and they're around 20 megs on average, which isn't too bad compared to 1GB!.. Which would make me

    the save file in question was a VERY late stage game. There was only us 2 and 2 other factions, everyone else was dead. But yeah glad I could help

    Would I be able to do this with Shogun 2?

    Well at least the single player is excellent

    My friend and I are Hojo and Takeda, we are about 80 turns into the co-op campaign and we've only had one lockup which was fixed by restarting the client. This is one of the least-buggiest Total War releases I've played so far, I don't know how people are running into this many game-breaking bugs. I'm sorry, though.

    same here, me and my friend have done 3 coop campaigns now, the third we are reaching the year 1585 so we are close to the end (and preparing our steamroll over the final enemies ) we only have an occasional crash (when the AI turns end my friends (the host) shogun crashes) and only 1 desynch in a game (the second one of the 3 games we've done)

    imo there are very little bugs but it seems it must depend on certain factors? perhaps equal internet speed causes less crashes? There has to be an explanation why you guys face so many problems but me and my friend face almost none

    I also convinced my friend to buy this game for coop campaign.

    We've had a ctd already at turn 19 and can't get past it. It always happens at the same spot.

    do you guys really believe it will stay unfixed?

    At turn 85 in my coop campaign, only had 1 freeze in a battle around turn 75. I quicksave every second turn just as an insurance policy

    Found a fix, just give your friend the saved game, and it works again!

    I see the answer has already been found.

    I'd still like to mention that a friend and I have been playing the ETW beta campaign, NTW campaign and now Shogun2 campaign 'flawlessly'. That meaning, we experienced a lot of desync, battles not working and stuck in "it's your turn, no it's your turn, no it says it's yours, no it doesn't"- limbo.

    The solution: Send your savefile to your friend. You'll notice that these savegames can sometimes differ about 1 MB in size! The savegames are big, but here's a tip: RAR THEM UP. Put them in a 7zip, or something. It will reduce the filesize drastically.

    With this method we've been playing the campaign just fine for yonks. From ETW through S2.

    That said, it's a shame to see nothing seems to have changed from the beta campaign in ETW.

    me and my friend spent weeks doing something similar with another game (CIV 4), we cannot be bothered to do it again just to play some casual co-op
