Map does appear in map selection

Hi there!

In the past years i had dozens of multiplayer games on my map, unfortunately it is not possible at the moment.

I saved and packed the map as always then i agreed at the next window to upload to the server, it sayes "upload fertig" so its all good as far as i know (then i uploaded to steam workshop too, via content tool), and it still not want to appear in the multiplayer map selection section. I also tried this with a test map, and it also does not work. So what could be the problem if i did the same as i did for years?

Unfortunately, the multiplayer is currently unusable. Was some time ago and was related to the Nightly Build patch in December 2022. Marcel has already tried to do something, but the MP is not a priority at the moment. This will only become interesting again when the game runs with the new engine.

It is such a shame, beacuse the base maps and the dlc maps are working in multiplayer and also a few workshop maps, so that's why i was really confused about it, but know i know i have to wait for a very long time...

They apparently work. But there are no timetables, no AI works. The control center also no longer works. I can still save them, but that's it. Playing is impossible.

I just played the Berlin Map in multiplayer. Looks good at first glance. But as soon as you drive a stop, LOTUS crashes without an error message. I have now tried three restarts, each time the same result: crash. So timetable AI is in, passengers are in, cars too - but playing is impossible.

Just wanted to know if my status is still up to date. Not that I'm reporting anything wrong.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

I don't know when the multiplayer broken so much, that its that unplayable, and i understand it's not a first priority, but how could something broke without updates? I mean the last update was almost 8 months ago, and i remember that the multiplayer was still playable. Leaves me with confusion, but i know someone will bring a simple explanation for it.

Edit: I see you wrote 2022 Nightly build patch could be the source of this problem, but again it was working in 2023 too.
