The Multiplayer Update is released!
Hey everyone, the Multiplayer Update is now released!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Up to 8 people can play together, building the same park.
You can play sandbox parks together and also campaign scenarios.
The majority of mods are compatible with multiplayer mode. A few mods will need to be updated to be compatible.
You can select which DLCs to enable for a multiplayer session, so if you want to play with someone who doesn't have one of the DLCs installed you can do so by simply deselecting it.
When playing in multiplayer mode everyone works on the same park together. You can see what the other people are doing - it's a bit like everyone is playing together on the same PC:
Creating a new game or joining one is done through a lobby.
You can also directly invite your Steam friends to join. It's pretty easy!
[h2]Changelog[/h2]
Cross-play between Windows/Mac/Linux systems is not available currently. We'll continue working on it.
If anything goes wrong during a multiplayer session you'll get an option for uploading an error report. We'll keep a close eye on those and will release patches as quickly as possible if any problems occur.
If you're having trouble with desyncs please try having all players join your multiplayer session lobby before starting the game. Joining mid-game is currently more likely to lead to desyncs.
