Multiplayer lag?
Anyone else having this problem, it's caused my friends to not want to play, any fix?

No 'fix' as there are to many variables involved. Each persons computer could be the problem. Or something else. No way to know.

My wife and I play on local lan and have no issues other than slow frame rate in certain locations in act3.

If you use the web expect lag to come and go like the weather.

Make sure you're both wired up instead of Wi-FI but other than that, not much

I've been playing with a friend online. He literally WALKS everywhere, moving at a super slow pace. The cut scenes and other actions all take place VERY slowly for him. When I see him walk up to my character, in voice chat he tells me he isn't even half way there yet.

Apparently, it is all because he has a minimally capable video card. Instead of the game looking like crap on sub-par video cards, Larian decided to just slow things down for them. Can't say I disagree with this tactic.

Ok, totally verified my previous post.
The person I was playing multiplayer with just upgraded his video card and ALL lag disappeared...for both of us. Mulitplayer lag is definitely a result of one or more players having a sub-par system. So, if your friends are lagging, compare system specs and you should be able to determine who needs to upgrade. Keep in mind that ALL players will be effected by ONE person having weak hardware.

No surprise in a P2P game.
In addition to that, using a VPN can help if it is not about a subpar system.
