Is multiplayer playable?

[Wokmaster]

Hi,

The last 3 times I played multiplayer (1 year to 6 months ago) I ended up quitting, defeated by the desyncs and overall terrible multiplayer experience. Did anybody have success playing on a dedicated server? Do the enemies spawn normally and don't teleport around if you're far from the other players? Do you fall through the map? Do you witness your friends teleporting/rubberbanding all over the place? I love this game in solo but was so disappointed by the multiplayer implementation so far. Is there any hope?

I love the game as well. I don't experience any of the problems you do but that's because I can't even load in to a multiplayer game in the first place. I've had this issue for the same time frame as you. Try going into game play options and increasing your connection strength to ultra. Best of luck to you

No probs at all in experimental, playing since 4 weeks with a group of friends without a single issue.

Been playing multiplayer for the last couple weekends and no issues so far, apart for belt connections sometimes not working propperly.
Just make sure to doublecheck your builds.
The one issue I remember from the past was with vehicles.
Driving vehicles past a certain speed would kill non-host players.
We have not progressed far enough to have access to the Explorer though.

Mutliplayer is fine but there are bugs associated with multiplayer. Mostly to do with lag with the netcode, so the client players will have lag issues that can cause truly hilarious problems, especially with the physics of vehicles. Nothing gamebreaking, and it's definitely playable, but I thought you should know.

Rubberbanding was not an issue much for players or enemies, but the vehicles do rubberband and sometimes even duplicate.
