Multiplayer stuck in syncing

[Elijah]

I'm still having the widespread issue of having to alt-tab between every level in order to get past the "syncing" frozen screen...
Please address this :)

It's a little weird when that happens.

Not a perfect solution, but instead of Alt-tabbing you can Shift-Tab (To open the steam overlay).

just shift tab, its annoying but the best option so far. Bought the game yesterday for me and a friend and immediatly regretted thanks to this issue. Glad the shift tab works

The syncing update was the stupidest update in history.
Spelunky netcode was always awful, but while I have no idea what the syncing is supposed to do, it often desyncs players and now apparently it also does this.

press shift and tab to open steam overlay. comes on straight away then

Online getting worse and worse every time.

Some one needs to explain the ALT-TAB/Shift-TAB thing. It is super annoying and dumb as hell and needs to be fixed.

same, what is going on

[AcidSweat]

I guess that's the price of the cross-platform. Before when only steam players could play together it was top notch.

Just Alt-Tab it works 90% of the time

same problem since 1.26 i and my friends have a big problem, still not fixed
every time a level starts we are stuck. we have to tab out of the game and than the round starts and we can tab back in.
this is happening with steam, if we play multiplayer and another players joins than we dont have this problem. but it also happens randomly online with a other steam player.
