Input Delay When Playing Online?

[Tyde]

Whenever I go to play online, it has at least a 2 second input delay, I tweaked my graphics a bit and it didn't help, when I play local though, it runs very responsive. Whats going on here? Anyone have a fix please? I waited so long to play online and now it's unplayable, it'd be much appreciated if someone had a fix.

What's going on? Lag. Get better internet. Input delay is just a minor kind of lag and will be fixed by playing on the nearest server to you, or, of course, getting better net.

If you literally mean a 2 second delay, which is a 2000ms ping, thats very very high ofc. 2000ms would go to show that you unlikely have optimal internet speeds to play this game online

There will always be input delay with Gang Beasts, although the delay is becoming more and more minimized as the devs release updates. It's more responsive in local multiplayer because you aren't connecting to a server.

Sorta like what Pybro said, just play on servers close to you and the input lag will be more tolerable

I have very good internet, usually 30ms on most the servers I go on, if not. Only 80 to 100 ms, but I to get the 1 - 2 second lag when pressing keys, but local is fine

I get input delay as well, usually my ping is 200-230... But my internet's fine, I play lots of multiplayer games with no delay, (CS:GO, Brawlhalla, Stick Fight, etc.)

Necro again...
But no, the thing is when this post was originally made, online was quite new and had relatively low load, so if people were lagging too much it was usually an issue with their own internet.

Nowadays, the game itself is more the issue than the servers being bad - As all the data is processed server-side (which isn't how most games work, in case you aren't aware), there is inherently a lot more latency than is normal in games. Hopefully when we do get updates, optimisation will help with this.
