Connection timeouts

[FalkenEye]

So I've started playing this game with a friend and it's a lot of fun (in theory).
However, when he's hosting, I frequently get connection issues, sometimes starting with just lags, other times I even get the box in the middle of the screen, warning me of a connection timeout.
When I hosted a custom game with just 32 islands, things got a bit better, but he was still experiencing lag and timeouts every now and then.

We have identified one thing which is sure to crash one's game:
When both players are sitting at a station and try to look at the same menu (e.g. both trying to access the inventory).

Anyone have any tips on how to improve multiplayer performance?

Oh and also, none of us can use the holomap for some reason. Or the captains chair. Everything else works fine.

I've had similar issues with performance. We're going to try and set up a dedicated server next time we play to see if it helps.

And, does it help?

Where do you get dedicated server?

Use "browse local files" in steam, find dedicated_server.exe and then read:

It might be easier to play on one of the already established public servers.
