It's long past the acceptable time to fix multiplayer.

[Rod, of eight toes]

Devs, I absolutely love this game. R1 and R2 are a couple of my favorite titles ever. So this criticism is coming from a good place.

It's way past the time where the problems in multiplayer are acceptable. The game has been out for months and DLC has dropped. There's really no excuse for multiplayer continuing to be as bugged as it is. Sadly, I ran into a brand new (to me) bug just today. I loaded in to a game, my character was frozen and just standing in one spof, and I could only watch what the host was doing. I had to disconnect and go back to the main menu. Which, is another unacceptable way the multiplayer works. We should be able to drop and go back to the ward, not the main menu.

Devs, you don't need me to tell you that you've had plenty of complaints about the multiplayer or that those complaints are mostly the same. We've all seen the posts about people quitting because of the state of multiplayer.

This game is a gem, but the state of multiplayer is hurting your sales, shrinking the community, and frustrating people who love this game and want to see it grow. Idk if the studio needs to hire some dedicated multiplayer devs to sort these issues but whatever needs to happen do it. Fix the multiplayer. There's no excuse after this much time.

+1, had this bug a few times.

Game is awesome but needs lots of polish

Everyone else posting about multiplayer issues has my PC? You might want to search the forums.

the game has good reviews and no, i dont see many complaints about multiplayer on the forums.

seems most people dont have this issue, so its probably pc related.

The multiplayer is fine, they even just changed how spawning in works.
Also I don't see people d/c almost ever, and nor do I...so what exactly is your complaint? Having to load again after leaving a session? That takes like 5 seconds, perhaps you need to be playing on potato mode to eat less system resources or sumthin.

I've been playing multi quite a bit since I got this game, haven't had many problems aside from one time the game crashed my computer (basically rebooted it). But hey, a game which one of it's main selling points is co-operative multiplayer, it should get the attention it deserves from the devs.

+1 had this bug many many times

and for everyone who is saying "its your PC" why exactly do all my 150 other games run without bugs and this one doesnt?

all you say is "for me its fine" you realise that there can be bugs that just dont happen for all people but are still on the devs side of mistake right?

and no, my PC can handle the game with pretty good graphics and stable 60 FPS on 1980x1080 so its def not a performance problem

If this thread doesn't help move the needle on multiplayer, at the very least it helped identify people who contribute nothing and should be blocked 😂

+1 see this bug very often when connecting to other people not from my country. So my guess it is network related. My friend however using RTX4070, crash far more often than me that just using GTX1660. It only happened on DLC map, there is some issue with that map that caused FPS to just drop very significantly.

Yep, looks like network related. A bug for the devs to fix

Never had a problem but good luck.

I play just fine most of the time but yeah ignore that idiot who think issues aren't happening because he doesn't experience it.

The game still suffers from desyncing on crashes resulting in either a loss of items or stuff gained. You also always get booted to the main menu for some dumb reason.

Skipping the end credits for when players beat the final boss instant disconnects you as well.
Also there should be listed Pings and regions, so you wouldn't join a game just to realize you take 1 whole second to fire a shot off.

The game also sometimes randomly crashes even while speccing traits and im playing this on a 3090ti.

There is just such a lack of quality of life with remnant that was also a problem with the first game. It doesn't deserve any nominations despite being fun to play.

As the first title in the games, I too, was extremely confused on how to drop out from a game, turns out I had to quit to the main menu, lol

Well said. Awesome game, with almost the smallest amount of optimization or QoL possible. Also, must admit it improved.

Also big omissions that should come are crossplay (in the works) and text chat (less hopes but its needed)
