Playing in high latency

[Fish]

I'm interested in getting the game but I have a lot of friends and loved ones spread across different countries. Has anyone tried the game in extreme cross-country situations (eg. Europe to South East Asia) and had any issues? Or does the game run at least well enough to play around high latency? It obviously doesn't need to run perfect, we're talking 300+ms pings here, just needs to function with at most some jank.

Playing with Scandinavians from the US and the latency makes it soooooo much more difficult and you'll absolutely get in to lots of fights with your friends over ♥♥♥♥ that is just game jank + high ping and it is sooooooo worth it 100% buuyyy theee gammeeee <3

I ended up getting it since everyone else in my group seemed keen. It's been ok so far with American players but might get a lot worse with Europe. I'll have to see. Been a fun time overall though, gotta get everyone back into it for another go.

Hey! Did you have problems playing with people in Europe? I'm in the same situation so would just like to know if it's worth it lol

Played with my Norwegian friend and it went alright. Chain physics get pretty wonky at very high ping at higher speeds (for example you can get yoinked back to your teammate when trying to sync up trampolines sometimes, and ledge climbing can sorta fling others around if they're falling) but with some careful play it's been mitigated. Mind I haven't climbed the full thing since everyone's been on and off interested but it's been basically fine for a large amount of it. This is playing casually also, no idea if any speedrun strats or tech or whatever break with massive ping.

Edit: I should probably say the careful play specifically has been making sure we bounce twice on trampolines to let the game I guess 'catch up' with what we're doing. Otherwise it sometimes just yoinks you back down and you fall.
