the 1.40 version has fixed a lot of the MP bugs and it's very stable now

The only downside to 1.40 is the "Oh no! 2 is down!" repeating message bug.

Other than that.. it seems very stable and is cutting into my AH time severely.

They just released the dedicated server patch v1.41

It fixes the XML crash in 1.40 but not the "2 is down" bollocks.

For lag free multiplayer you really need a dedicated server. The squad I fight with has 2, 1 on a T1 and the other on a T3. There's also plans for a 100 player capable server, which we'll be renting out for special events and league matches. However, if BIS get around to enabling 'join in progress' other ideas may surface.....like a persistant world.
