Yes, it does have multiplayer, but it doesn't work that well... You may or may not be able to get it to work. For some people it works flawlessly, while for some people it doesn't work at all, atleast from what I have read. I have tried to play this game in multiplayer myself too but it always gives a network error after a couple of minutes of play...

There are some gimmicks posted on the Internet if you google for them, but they haven't worked for me, atleast. :(

My friend and I are having the same problem. We are playing it on a lan and we have to save often.

I haven't actually tried the multiplayer in ages, I'm still hoping that someday someone finds a working fix for theproblems. We could get out the lobby - after a minute of gametime, the game desynced/crashed, every time.

The fact that the MP for this game is broken - and seems to remain such indefinetely - is a crime to humanity. It is such a fantastic game with so many potential laughs in MP.

One thing I noticed (two Windows 7 64-bit laptops) is that starting up a networked game takes a long time, and there's no movement of the progress indicator. It looks like the game is just hanging, but if you want several minutes, it does eventually connect. And it did hit some kind of network error a few minutes into the game. Not sure how much of a problem that will be, but I was just testing the setup and wasn't using the other laptop at the time, so maybe that was the reason.

Unfortunately, I remember running to that same problem with 2 active players trying to play an MP game. :( I think it went exactly the same with us and in the end it just crashed to a network error.

Unfortunately, that was also my experience. While we could set up the game, we could never make it run for longer than a minute or two before it crashed with the network error.

It does load a saved multiplayer game very quickly every time after the initial first connection, but that still isn't good enough to make it playable.

This is not a solved form. There is no soution to the problem listed.
I would greatly enjoy being able to play this game over LAN with some friends, however, I do not forsee that happening anytime soon.

The publisher (jowood) and also the developer (4head studios) are bankrupt, so chances are really bad. The game would be great, but the many bugs and broken MP are a shame.
