Everyone I play against has a lot of input lag.(SOLVED)
I've played against my friends(one who even lives in my neighborhood and has same internet provider) and online. It seems everyone online runs off the stage and then all my friends say its really laggy. I'm pretty sure it's not my internet as well because I get really good ping on other games and also I download up to 10 mb/s. I'm not sure if I should refund or wait for a fix.

PLAY IN WINDOWS MODE

Its probably your frame rate. If you are playing in full screen switch to the window mode and it should help. Since its a player to player connection online if you aren't both running at 60 fps the player with the better frame rate experiences input lag.

Wait so because I have a super nice gaming computer (I built myself, I lag?) I'll try your windowed suggestion and report back.

This actually worked! I played against my friend a bit and it worked but then the 2nd or 3rd match it started lagging again. Maybe I just cant play back to back matches. Thanks a lot, even though windowed kinda sucks.

So far it does seem to have helped! Thanks!

You can check your frame rate by changing some settings from the Steam Application. Go to the View Drop-Down Menu in the top right of the Steam App, from there go to Settings->In-Game. From In-Game setting you can turn the frame rate tool on. Restart you game and you will see a live frame. If you aren't staying at 60 fps while you are online then you are going to create input lag for your opponent. If you are experiencing the input lag it is probably your opponents frame rate.

Yeah, right now the Early Access release uses a player to player connect, so hopefully the full release will have something more safisticated. If you find a player with a bad frame rate just jump of the side and find someone else for now.
