Why no multiplayer?

[Sneebin Bebin]

In order to really get the proper VR GMOD that we all want we need multiplayer servers.

It wasn't the focus of the game, but I agree that if the devs were trying to make the next gmod they need multiplayer.

Maybe they expect us to make it ourselves like they did the first game...?

multiplayer is very hard to do without desync issues in physics games let alone vr physics games

id think multiple players physically interacting with each other would be very hard to solve without just disabling

They've said they MIGHT add it.

The game really should have multiplayer. In almost all the games I've played that were hard carried by user generated content the best part was playing through that content with other people. It also makes it a lot easier to find new mods through word of mouth via interacting with other players in game.

Before playing the game I thought maybe they decided to leave the multiplayer to the modding community because maybe networking the physics might be too janky or buggy. People are generally more lenient with jankiness and bugs from a mod than they are from an actual product, but this game is extremely janky and the buggiest game I've ever played (Although I did enjoy the game.) So I don't really understand why they didn't include it.

Yeah I don't think that's the case man.

There is a Multiplayer mod in alpha and the synchronization issue is really bad, especially for vehicles.

Keeping track of full IK physics for multiple players in multiplayer would also be CPU-intensive.
