Hello,

we play the GOG version of DK2 with 3 persons. The game works fine for round about 45 minutes. Then the game starts to frequently come up with the synchronization screen and some minutes later the multiplayer session is ended. DOes anyone have the same problem and maybe an idea how to fix it?

Regards
Simon

There are many multiplayer issues and getting to 45 minutes in this game is actually pretty good. There's many things to try that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Getting it to work requires a lot of trial and error, or might just work for you out of the box.

For one thing, make sure nobody ever runs out of gold or mana, and never use Tab, not to chat and not to alt-tab. Also, try different people as the host.
Game version 1.7 that gog uses, for most people, is not the most stable version. Get GIM (the general improvement mod) without the level files and try that, it's often more stable.
The most stable version is actually the DK2 demo, it's free to download and it has multiplayer.

Your issue sounds like the out of gold/mana issue though, so perhaps you're good.

Thank you, I will try the mod first.

GIM solved my problem. Now it is running fine with up to four people in multiplayer. Thanks a lot!
