Arena Glitch
playing with a friend hosting, we get to Arena's spinning shape puzzle with buttons and the game goes all kinds of crazy. we get out of sync and the platforms just slowly turn without stopping. I even fell through them one time and fell down until it all went black.

I also experienced this with a friend today, he was hosting from the West Coast and I was joining him from the East Coast. Idk if the latency between us caused a desync or what, but at the Double Sided Safe, I couldn't help out at ALL because of how screwed up things were.

Sorry to hear about the bug, can you tell me what platforms both users were using? Steam / Epic / Xbox PC / Xbox Console / Play Station

we're both on steam pc. I had my friend proceed with the puzzle solve while I didn't touch anything, we were able to move to the final area but this was also well out of sync as I was seeing the puzzles movements/solutions a solid 2-3 minutes or more after my friend completed them. then we both ended up on a "your friend is still reading dialogue" screen which resulted in us both having to quit to main menu. And in my case, the whole game crashed. When we restarted it again, we were successfully past that chapter and able to move on.

Had the same issue with a friend as well -- playing on steam, and also had additional desync issues on the final puzzle

Just tried again and had my friend (host) doing all of the actions, and there was no desync. Maybe it's only an issue of the client takes key actions?

Also had the same problem just a few minute ago. me and a friend (not far away) we both playing pc steam. Everything was working fine until we got to the spinning button puzzle. I was hosting and the second run through of this stage (quit the first because of same problem) my friend had to sit it out even though i was glitching just walking on the platform to and from each button. But it still resulting in desync and caused major problems at the double safe. ex: working on the colored square my friend was watching me mess with it 5 minutes behind while i was stuck in the hint screen and her unable to change or flip the tiles.

Had this bug happen to me and a friend, at the Arena. I was the host, we both were on steam pc. The only way we could clear the level was by him doing nothing, cause if he touched anything we would be out of sync.

I also had glitches on the arena level, we were both playing on Steam. Maybe my partner was in the middle when I did rotations because they started teleporting like crazy and we had to restart the puzzle.

I will add that my friend and I also experienced this bug. To add some more detail that might be helpful: both of us were on steam, and we have not experienced any other issues thus far in the game (minus a few minor texture rendering issues). The desync seems to be connected to the in game time (the countdown at the top of the screen) which desyncs between us (with the host's timer moving correctly and the other moving more slowly, causing it to fall behind) but generally the actions taken by the host at specific times (i.e. with 28:30 left on the clock, A happens) occur when the connected partner reaches that time mark in their game. Another aspect is that anytime the host pauses the game, those pauses occur at the exact in game time (again, the time on the in-game countdown) and last for roughly the amount of time the host originally paused for (when accounting for the time slow effect on the other player's end). Hope this helps and that this bug gets fixed soon! This game has been fun and we definitely want to try the DLC's once bugs get patched.

Alot of glitches. jeeeezes.. we just played the arena map, and its totally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up!

yea got similar happening, we rotate the shapes then press just the first button and the button press doesn't go thru to the other player so we're hard desynced. we're both on Steam PC version as well.

Same bug here. Both on PC through Steam, should not be a latency issue or something because we're both on good network and not too far from each other either. All previous levels in the game were working great, so there must be something off with the Rival Room levels.
