Multiplayer bugged

Hey so anyone else have issues with multiplayer at all? If not are you at least close to your friends with low ping? Was trying to play with my Aussie friend (Me being in america) and the game just did not work either way. Whether I joined him and saw nothing but a dirt screen. Or him joining me where he was able to move and fly about, but unable to mine. And at first I can't see him, but then the game seems to 'catch up' and he appears. Only for it to not be actively following his moments and stuff like wiggling back and forth and even desyncing when the ship flew to a new area and him being stuck floating in the air as if he were in the ship.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hey there! Sorry to hear you're experiencing some desync issues. The game's online multiplayer works through the Steam API, which I've noticed is not a huge fan of long distances - although in most cases it seems to work fine.

I can highly recommend turning off any VPN or other similar software that hides IP addresses etc. as they distord the network and do cause a noticable delay. Are you using a VPN by any chance?

As annoying as that is it was in fact the VPN causing the issue. Which for me doesn't make all that much sense as it doesn't effect any other games that I have. But I know that's not necessarily the game's issue alone. None the less tried playing with him without it and it worked.

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! Yeah I hope one day I'll figure out why exactly the game does not seem to like VPN. I also know that there are a lot of players playing the game on VPN without any issues too, so it seems to be very specific VPN messing with the networking to a point where it bugs out somehow. Glad it works for now - but it stays on my to do list as well!
