Multiplayer FAQ

[Chronszcz]

First of all I would like to thank all of you who supported us by buying our game and participating in the early access. We wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for you guys. I would also like to point out that we're a small team of just 2 programmers and a graphics designer, and we are doing our best to give you the game you want.

There have been many questions/issues regarding multiplayer, so I decided to answer these issues here. Note that the current state of this feature is not the final one, so rest assured that we're still working on it, but also we need your feedback to know that we're going the right way.

Does it work?

Yes. It works. We've tested it in numerous 1vs1 matches over the Internet and even played a match of 5vs5 on LAN.

Everyone except the host have lags

That's true. We've chosen the simplest architecture there is to make multiplayer possible and that's how it works. You have one sever (host) and N number of clients. The trick is to find the best host so everyone get the best experience.

2vs2, 3vs3 ... end on 1vs1

It works that way because we thought that it's better for players to play a match while waiting for other players to join instead of just showing you a "waiting for players" message. When there will be more players playing online then these games will fill up with players faster.

Multiplayer is a lag-fest

We rely heavily on Steam lobby API and the way the matchmaking works is that it fetches all the lobbies from the Steam API and chooses the potentially best ones in terms of latency and starts the match. There's not much room for improvement here. What we can do is try to decrease the size of packets being sent or use tricks to give an illusion of low latency.

I have played the game for a few hours, and it's reeeeeally really funny, but it seems impossible to play a decent online game. "Slow Connection" message is always at the top of the screen and it's so hard to play with such a big lag. It would be nice to have some server.

Maybe we could make our own dedicated server.
The free game unturned does this quite well and a lot of people make them.

Also would be nice to play online the competitions that are available offline (as co-op of course and win the achievements with our friends)

I'm realy enjoying the game, i hope you keep working on it.

MP works here and there. best when you are in same region. Playing US to EU seems to be sketch, but Ive played plenty of games with friends in my region and works just fine
There does need to be a fix of some sort. Plenty of games work well and dont exprerience these problems.

MP works but the problem is that we need dedicated server, at least for lobby that people could chat on it like mIRC or something just in game, than people could set up MP games

[allJellyNOtoast]

Yes so many games accomplish this just fine

[CLC]

for me multi works fine only if i host the game. the guest always has laggy experience. it is really not fair because both sides should have equal experience...

[Kira]

I have the "Slow Connection" message as well and a huge lag when playing with my friend online, only when he creates the game. If I'm the one creating, he gets the lag. Is there some solution or update soon?

So to get this clear: There is no option to add AI players to a multiplayer match so that me and my friend can plan in online coop against the cpu?

There's a coop mode where all humans (with ai teammates if necessary to make even teams) play against the cpu

[CsabinhoGrande]

Passing in coop in this game doesn't work as in other football games. You always pass to yourself unless you pass to a player that is controlled by your teammate. Is there a possibility to turn this behaviour off?

I hope I posted this in the correct thread, otherwise please just show me the correct thread!

Yes, you are right, this is a thing on our TO DO list, but since no player complained about this before we've been working on other issues.

Thanks for your really quick and great answer!
Is the TODO list publicly availabe or is it just for internal use?

Hi, I love Kopanito!

There are 2 things that I would like to see in game:

1. When playing against my friends Online Multiplayer there are options for "draw allowed" and "golden goal". It would be really great to see an option for penalties... So If we choose an option "golden goal" and if there is no goal after "30 mins" then we play penalties...

2. Co-op and Versus Online Multiplayer... I can only play with my friends "Co-op/Versus friendly match" and I think to add league/cup for Co-op/Versus online multiplayer would be awesome!

Sometimes I get unexpected error (only when playing online multiplayer, error appears before match and/or after match) but it does not bother me much.

"Invite button does not work?", I noticed that when I invite my friend to join my room, he can join but I don't see him. He says that he is in my room but I can not see him and then when i click play he is only spectating... It was the same issue with his room, so it does work only if he searches for my room and joins without invitation. This does not bother me but I just wanna let you know.

As CsabinhoGrande mentioned Co-op passing, I do agree with him.

Anyways, game is perfect. I really enjoy playing Kopanito with my friends, We are having fun and also laughing a lot :-)

Kind regards

is there any chance that you fix multiplayer lagging for guests?

Yeah, we've some ideas how to improve this, but no promises :(

Gday
It sounds like they need to setup PING and country ristrictions in a match

eg Dont alllow anyone from RU/USA/EU into a game in NZ/AU/JP ?

Ive found in PC gaming over 100 PING effects games
it gets REALLY BAD over 155 and unplayable over 200

From Australia I get the following ping:-
* AU to NZ - Under 100 ping
* AU to JP - 135-155 ping
* AU to China - 205-225 ping
* AU to USA - 225-295 ping
* AU to EU - 335-395 ping
* AU to RU - 355-405 ping
