Does this game still suffer from desync?

I've been playing Civilization V lately, and as much as I love it I just love the scale of this game. I'm put off playing it though due to the very high rate of desyncs I had with my friend. Out of 4 games only 1 did not desync. Is that still an ongoing problem?

 

Thanks!

Desyncs are way down, I'd say less than 10% now end in a minidump, which is most likely resource related in the late game.  Desyncs are rare, probably less than 1%, however, there is one that exists still, and they are actively trying to fix it, but because of it's rarity the community has had a hard time of giving the devs examples to look at.

 

I'd come back if I were you, the game is pretty stable and ICO had it's lag problems fixed.

Ok thanks. A quick question, this is for another friend. He seems interested in this game, but I've seen that Rebellion is going to be a standalone. Will it combine all the other  games? Because if so then I'm sure it would make sense for him to wait until the expansion comes out rather than buying Trinity now.

Oh and do  you know when Rebellion comes out anyhow?

Yes, Rebellion is stand alone which means it will have all of the files necessary to play all four versions of the game, whichever one you choose to play.  You do not need to buy any of the previous games.

No, we haven't even been given official word on when the Beta starts.

Did the devs actually ever say that if you buy Rebellion (stand-alone) you'll be able to play the earlier three versions of the game?  I don't think I've read that anywhere and remember having asked about it.  As far as I know, the issue is unresolved.

Well its quite an important question imo, as I surely don't want to buy the game now, and then be forced to buy the more expensive expansion so I have an online player base to do battle with.
