A while ago, it was possible to have amazing online matches with fellow gameguru members on awesome maps.

For weeks I have been trying to get back to it, always without success.
Ive had multiple members of the community testing it with me now and it never worked.

I would like to ask the TGC Staff if something changed regarding multiplayer.
It seems like a server issue of some kind.

Here is the situation:

I am hosting. Friend wants to join.
He finds my lobby and the joins. Then he gets the prompt to download the workshop item (as ususal)
and now this comes immediately after:


He can then click on "cancel" and the he sees the lobby screen again, saying that it is installing but it never installs.

It takes forever and nothing happens.

out of 20 tests, 2 times have we been able to somehow get on the map. And if that happened, all the assets were missing for other players except me.

Something is seriously broken. GG MP worked in the past with custom scripts and really detailed maps.


I am asking you to adress this or at least give a hint what might be wrong.
Thank you

Already done like 30 minutes ago.


My first guess is that it is a steam workshop issue.
Because stock maps apparently work. I just tested with a forum member and that one worked.
it was the map "Death Valley" and we had to shoot 10 enemy soldiers. So that was a co-op Map.

I bet they have disabled multiplayer in MAX and then some of those changes have crept into the classic build, poor QA again.

Well, I have now also tried it, and unfortunately had to find out that this mp no longer works. Even if I just heard that the pre-made cards are playable. But that's not the point. In a game maker system with built-in multiplayer functionality, even if it's very out of date, it should actually work. I don't know how busy the mp is, but at least for game creators it offers a quick platform to share your ideas ...

I can confirm That Multiplayer does not work either. I had alot of theories about what it may be but after testing with Duchenkuke many times nothing we thought of would work unless it was a premade MP map with stock assets. Now I can see GG Max may be the cause of this issue as every update since March with GG or GG Max something has been broken, This is why I've stayed on the March build. We even went back to Autumns update as this was the last time MP worked but it still seemed to be the same issue. This started when Max came into development and GG is suffering as a result. I'll admit I never actually played multiplayer until recently it would be nice if we could get this back to the state it was in before Autumns update, if so this should be the first thing included on the next GG update or sooner.
