Multiplayer issues.

[Miley17x]

Hi, I just got the game and every time I try to join a game either I get stock on the ''Syncing..'' little screen or when I'm in a game everything is working fine until the zombies and my teammates freeze and run in the same spot. I see that people are still playing because the scores still going up. When I host a lobby and I start the game people that were in the main lobby don't spawn and end up leaving. Is it a common issue? Is there something to do to fix it? I did reset my router, uninstall the game and re installed it but I still have the same issues and its only with this particular game... I really like it and would like to play online with other people but I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks in advance!

From what I've seen this before it looks like you've got a lag issue. Other players are not actually frozen in place from their perspective, it just looks that way to you because the data you retrieve from them isn't coming in fast enough, which is why their scores continue to increase.
Unless you've got a mega fast connection and are confident that it could only be the other players (which is unlikely if this happens all the time with many different players), upgrading your Internet connection would probably see the best success. The best free recommendation is to connect to games with players you know are geographically close so packets won't travel as far, and try playing with fewer players so that's less data to be downloaded at the same time. Once/if you have success, try more players or expand the region of people you play with until you reach the limits of your sweet spot.

Thank you, I'll have to try it. I've played this game on PS4 and Xbox never had any issues on there so I was a bit disappointed to see that I'm having issues with the game on PC. Hopefully by playing with people that lives closer to me it will work. Thanks you again for replying and taking the time to explain what might (most likely) be the issue. :)
