multiplayer not working good?

[confus1986]

i read a lot of comments that the Game does not work properly in Multiplayer with more than 2 Players? do anyone have a Clue or feedback thx :)

Haven't heard this myself, seen a few youtubers with more then 2 players in the game and as far as I recall they weren't having issues.

yeah multi have some issue, that's why people ask about dedicated server cause they think it will fix it. And no, their is nothing to do except deco reco and finger cross if it happens to you

MP is getting some connection related issues. The biggest one is host player warping around the map as the factory gets bigger. As client player you'll see your host teleporting around sometimes, instead of walking normally, but they are actively working for an hotfix, hopefully out this week. There are some minor known bugs too, but they are focusing on solving everything right after steam release.

It's mostly synchronizing problems. Since the host is obviously sunchronized with himself, it almost concerns clients everytime.

Some poeple think that dedicated server would resolve everything, but actually, it's the opposite. With dedicated server, there would be no host and just clients, hence, there would be no way to get around bugs anymore!

In facts, they need to fix all MP bugs BEFORE releasing dedicated server. :)

Multiplayer definitely has some issues, but they're being fixed as quickly as possible. You basically won't see a patch coming out without several multiplayer bugs squashed; but if you're familiar with the life of programming, you know that new stuff is bound to show up.

That said, most issues are more of the inconvenience type, while larger issues are typically squashed within the week of emerging. I think the bug that introduced clients breaking resource extractors, a fairly large issue if you want to play with friends and let them actually get stuff done without you babysitting them, was fixed in just 2 days.

Those multiplayer problems have always been there, once you get to higher tier game craps the bed

This game is not word it playing it in multiplayer as when you get a big factory then your friends cant connect to it anymore as the game get an overfloww error on connections or the game crasches. So Me and my friends are not gonne play this game for days again before its reelesed the real way and not as an unfinsihed game, that is not safe to play in multiplayer. Its verri irritaiting and we get mad when the crash happend after the factory get a litle bitt in size. It is a great game for multiplayer when it works, but as it is now its to unstable. I realy hope that the game will be releesed and the fetrues get fixed and that the game will suports mods. becouse as it is now its sucks.

There are huge multiplayer issues. Glitches with not seeing the true location of other players. Lots of lag as the base building increases. Tractors are useless for clients, although the host seems to be able to use them. It's a shame as the game is so much better when playing with friends.

If you follow the devs logs you can see they pretty much gave up making multiplayer work , kinda looks like they are finishing up with this game.

Yes, they're going to end it in November.

multiplayer works perfectly if you follow this one simple step: set the multiplayer connection to ultra. default is poor.
