Skip Map Transfer if Transferee has Save Already

Post by dipwood »

Basically, this would put MP more in line with Paradox games like Victoria 2, Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4, etc.

Right now, sending even small files takes a long time. I don't know why it takes a full 5-10 minutes to send a 3 or 27 meg file. I assume they're working on the transfer time, but a lot of that is avoided in MP of the above games that I play.

My suggestion is to make the game load a local save instead of the host's save if they match, instead of going through the 'sending map to peers' process. This will allow the host to simply distribute a save to people and you'll be in the rehosted game in seconds.
