From the players guide I find that there is no pause button for MP matches and I find that extremely disheartening. As a member of the Naval Campaigns Club I have literally played hundreds of MP matches including several complete Jutland battles(7+ hours and 16 players) using the J Tiller games. Norm and Jim-I don't know about you guys but at 56 years old sitting at my computer for 6 hours and not being able to pause the game for head calls and coffee fillups is a bad thing.:nuts: I realize you can save the game and restart it but as far as I can tell everyone would have to reconnect again with all inherent delays-when all that is needed is two minutes to run to the bathroom or grab a refill.:smoke:
Speaking of MP matches how do you keep synchronization between all the Pcs of the players involved? The reason I ask this is that on Internet play there are bound to be connection issues especially when playing MP matches with players on different continents. The time lag, syn issues, differences in quality of internet connections , speed of PCs etc. This has been the biggest problem our club has faced in playing MP matches and it probably never be resolved due to the nature of the Internet and Directplay. We just struggle thru it when it happens. And the games we currently play do not have the level of detail that yours does(no naval game out there does in my opionion or I would already own it :D ) . We would like to add this to our clubs list of approved games but are concerned about the MP issues(we only play MP)
