Multiplayer lag

[UncannyGames]

Unsure if this is because of the game, but doing multplayer with my Fiance on the same internet. I'm experiencing lag where my Fiance will just be running in place and then suddenly teleport ahead and I'll suddenly be teleported back several feet. We have good internet and play other games on the same internet with no issue, i am also the only one expereincing this he has had to no issue so far.

Mostly mentioning in case this could let the devs know of a potential issue or find out if anyone else is having the same problem?

Same here

[Mushboom]

Yep.. I know this is early beta but this should have been fixed by now..
Very poor

I only experienced this when first starting up our Gameworld.

It was funny to see myself lagging backwards and such.

The fix for me at the time was my partner disconnected from the game. I stopped teleporting immediately. They rejoined and another player joined for a total of 3. From this point on for 5 hours it was smooth.

This was after hot fix 1. Not had the opportunity to play since, so can't say anything for hotfix 3+

This wasn't local network either. UK to two central European countries.

What are your specs-- specifically the CPU?

Someone I (would like to) play with has a PC that just meets the minimum requirements. Every other online game we play together is fine, yet Enshrouded has a truly unplayable amount of latency (~350ms) no matter who hosts. Other players who live even further have <1/3 the lag.

My working theory is that there is some problem with the netcode that causes it to all but fall apart with inadequate processing power, even if the game runs alright solo.

Having a similar issue - playing with my fiance on the same network (1 Gbps). As the host, I have zero issues. She gets fairly frequent rubber-banding issues, to the point where it gets frustrating for her to play. My CPU is a 7950x3D, and hers is a 7800x3D. I have 64gb of 6000Mhz RAM. It really shouldn't be an issue to host a 2 player server, but is there something I'm missing that could be causing this?

I am facing this issue as well. So far i have tried connecting to two people and i have different results with both of them. With one i am constantly rubberbanding but with the other my gameplay is very smooth.
Tried to change the steam download region and steam networking and neither helps.

It makes impossible to play with friends

Did you make your lobby smaller? It does say when creating a bigger lobby can cause lag issues. If you're only playing with 2, I think the smallest lobby is like 3 players.

Turn off foliage, it could drastically take less stress off both you systems Or at least the host.

[AdorableSparrow]

seems quite crap for laggy net code whats going on the rubberband is crazy.

[bump until developers acknowledges the issue]

[OnionKnight]

same here, game just desyncs for like 10-20s at a time where nothing is registering, no hit markers, stamina, health etc. Then it will come back and be stable for awhile then do it again.

impossible to play multiplayer

[Kapyong]

Yes, totally unplayable with friends from far away.
NO mention of this problem from the devs.
Are they completely UNABLE to fix it ?
Disappointing.

I ended up refunding the game due to this. Guess I'm waiting for a fix and sale now. Seems like a fun game, but I only want to do it coop.
