the state of multiplayer is unacceptable

[deadrop66]

you've had nearly 3 years to address the multiplayer and ive yet to see any actual fixes to the mountain of issue's, just for the love of god stop updating the engine every update and fix the issues

I assume they will drop EVERYTHING they are working at right now to meet your demands which u expressed so well structured and politly.

Early access.

The game is not completed and any fix they do is likely to get broken again when they add the stuff that will take the game to 1.0

Optimisation of any game, including fixing issues, is iterative and will probably be done more to the end of the development cycle once all functionality is added.

In other words, probably not see a lot of issues fixed until they have finished developing the game and have all the functionality included for the 1.0 release.

Buying an EA game should always be done with this in mind. You get to play the game early by buying in to EA. If you wanted a complete game all working, may have been better to wait until 1.0

yes but the issue is something that needs to be fixed, as it ruins the game for multiplayer

You guys play this game with other people?

So WHAT is the issue? So maybe the devs will be able to locate and fix it. Although they are now probably busy with finishing the game as a whole and not focus on the co-op part.

Cool, report them on the official QA site, link in the pinned posts.

Well, better get started and write them all down, the disconnect/crash can be on your end too. Or maybe the end where the server is hosted and has nothing to do with game itself.

Maybe look at it like this:
You're constructing a car. The project is in the phase of crashtests to ensure a safe cabin. Now the test driver complains about the backdoors not working properly: children can open the door from inside, no matter what.

As smart as you are you surely won't finish the locking mechanism until you are sure the backdoors will stay in a stable position at a crash. Otherwise the changes are high that you will construct the mechanism two times and your CEO will fire you because of that, wasting money.

These are project management issues that becomes more clear with more age. Or more precicely: after one reconstructed different stuff about 125'000 times because of early rushing.

Well, that's life.
I'm sure this kind of thing happens to us all every other hour playing this game! While it was every five minutes at the beginning... :D

I think you'll find the devs are perfectly aware of the state of multiplayer. For reasons related to not wanting to waste time fixing and re-fixing multiplayer as they make core changes to the game, they've stated multiplayer will be addressed closer to release.

Whether you agree with their approach or not is irrelevant. FWIW I too would love multiplayer to get some love but it's a choice they've made, so we have to wait.

[Haerken]

Recurring multiplayer issues for 3 years, support for it should be completely removed, so the game can be completed faster.

Issues not Issue's

[Jyin]

I play this game 100% multi-player, off the self hosted dedicated server.
I don't see any issues with it in U7, beyond cosmetics.
The U8 has crash/disconnect issues, but that's why it is 'experimental'
Even there, I found out that U8 is rather playable if you stay off vehicles.
