With you, in other words the game state isn't as you remembered? Could be a desync.

Oh, god, the spelling and grammar... makes it so hard to understand.

I can't help you if I can't understand what you're saying.

im sorry if i have bad spelling but somthing wierd is happening with multiplayer saves for me atleast. when i load up a multiplayer game we are still there and everything is normal but when the other person says he's fleet is at HQ for instance i cant see it? stuff like that. its really hard to explain and makes the game very dull when u can't see where the other allied fleet is or what's it's doing.any suggestions?  hope my spelling was not bad.

Yup, sounds like a desync.

Actually i was just going over my saves last night and even the recent ones are all minidumping on me or freezing.  These were full fledged games with no ICO interference on their completion.

Im talking about ALL my saves.

There is a definate bug here.

If you get minidumps, it's a bug, not a desync, but yeah, there's clearly something going on. I have had a few desyncs even in replays, and some of my saved games and replays minidump as well...

Unfortunately I deleted them already since they didn't work, maybe I should have sent them to Stardock support for analysis?

A desync is when there are two or more players in the game but they experience different games, ie, player 1 builds a Sova and sees it built, but player 2 doesn't see the ship ever get built, or player 1 moves their fleet from A to B but player 2 sees the fleet stay at A...

(I think. This is what's happened to me a few times and I assumed that's what a desync was)
