Multiplayer is a problem

[K-Inspector (게임어사)]

So, right now, I've been asking people why it is so laggy in multiplayer. One out of ten, some games are pretty smooth with very little lag. But most games are extremely slow. And you will know that isntantly when you join a mp session created by other, and go to the supply box and try to pick up a potion, it takes 5-10 seconds to pick it up and during that time the whole thing is locked and can't do anything to cancel that action

Some people say its your ISP problem. Seriously? That is not the case as some game works and most of them dont. I've already disabled anti virus program when running Rise just in case that can affect the game.

How is your multiplayer experience? Was it buttery smooth? If so, what settings did you change to make it that way?

I'm generally the host most times, so obviously no lag. Though when people join, they aren't lagging either. That's the downside to peer to peer matchmaking. The other downside is the matchmaking is just like MH:W, based on your Download Region.

So, let's say someone on West Coast chooses an East Coast download server for updates etc for Steam, and I'm east coast, I join their game and my ping is across the country. Same way some have USA download regions but live far overseas and vice versa.

The supply box lag is bad, but it's also normal.
I doubt anyone here knows why it happens but if it bugs you enough just use your own stuff.

Bud I've played Iceborne to oblivion, so I know that, region doesn't matter. I may had this problem once or twice in MHW but this game, it is 9 out of 10 when you are joining others not hosting. When hosting you have no problems. But others do. That is why they constantly withdrawl from the game becasue it is impossible to play.

Luckily supplybox is for the peasants and you'll out grow it immediately.
I stopped taking the free little rations cause it took way too damn long.

I've only ever joined hunts and never hosted my own, and the only lag I've ever seen have been from specific players and not the entire hunt

from what I can tell, that's not connection lag, that's just the game still loading everything

Then you'd know it has the same multiplayer connecting as MH:W....

Well, double check your download region in Steam. All anyway can say. They are currently using the same setup as MH:W, if there's other issues all we can do is wait for a patch.

I've not seen any lag, other then the brief moment if i use the supply box. I am almost always joining, not hosting.

Oh BTW, I'm using Windows 11. Would this be an issue?
