WTF is wrong with multiplayer

[An Empath(Me)]

I just bought the game 30 mins ago, and the multiplayer is absolutely horrible and unplayable. I can't make it 5 mins into a multiplayer game before it lags uncontrollably and me and my friend disappear from each others games and start lagging to an unplayable level. I expect more from a game that advertises multiplayer as a working experience.

If multiplayer was the main reason for your purchase, it may be worth getting a refund, multiplayer is pretty horrible for many players, helps it seems if host and your machine have similar specs or capabilities, otherwise it gets de-synced pretty quickly

Yes multiplayer is rough, but it has to be asked: what were you and your friend doing in the game? If you and your friend's first step after buying the game was to download some of the biggest and most ridiculous things in the Workshop and load them into a multiplayer game, well then that was your mistake. Very few creations in the Workshop are built with multiplayer in mind. It takes a lot of microcontroller and physics calculations to float a large ship or keep a quadcopter in the air, and having to send each result out to a connected client just slows it down for everyone. If multiplayer is your goal, keep the creations to ones that are small, optimized with simple shapes and physics blocks, and have minimal constantly running microcontollers doing calculations.

No we literally did nothing, we loaded into the tutorial and got on the first boat and then turned it off and everything messed up multiple times

Get a refund if u want to play for multiplayer it never runs smooth

[An Empath(Me)]

Yeah I ended up getting one, I really hope they either focus on fixing it or advertise it as a broken experimental feature

is this "released" game a new name for "early access"?

Yeah I suppose so, how disappointing, I bought the game despite the slightly convincing negative reviews that the developers had lost it. Which I suppose now seems to be true. I have no interest in playing the rest of the game if they advertised multiplayer and this is it's state

Personally i've not had any issues with multiplayer regarding the game for a very long time, but a lot of people seem to report issues with it.
I've even played with an Australian friend of mine, who lives more or less on the opposite side of the globe. Yes, there's lag, but it works without significant issue.

I'm guessing a part of the issue is the AI craft, which still aren't properly realized.

Yeah I really wish they would have a response to the problem or put these broken features in a beta or test build so it dosent destory itself

Yes, or at least tell people outright how to disable them, because IMO you have to.

Multiplayer works just fine.. Never had a single issue no desync just runs smooth with 4 players running on a dedicated server with a shady way of running exe on linux and it works
