Multiplayer bugged for me

[Maziii]

I bought this game yesterday and really enjoyed playing it with my friends. However after about 5 hours of play, when joining my friends it takes about 10 seconds to load into charachter selection and pressing anything takes an eternity to load. I can get into the game but it's so laggy that its unplayable, anyone else with this kinda problem?

I have perfect ping in the other games I play, so that really shouldn't be the problem

Theres no dedicated servers. It's your friends internet.

[Maziii]

Seems to be just my internet then I guess, since they can play together perfectly fine

You have to connect to the dedicated servers manually. When using the Steam friend API, private lobbies, and in-game quick play you won't ever connect to a dedicated server.

Well, I feel like my point holds up pretty well then. Since its not really obvious at all where these are.

I would agree if not for this statement:

OP, check if you have any security software blocking requests from RoR2. If that's not the problem, I don't know what else to suggest.

I will add that currently private lobbies seem to have some kind of latency issue, but that was after the Artifact update landed. I haven't tested it out myself but there was quite a few people in a thread earlier.

Having a similar problem, when playing with friends, connecting to each other does not work. Mainly we get weird behavior with not loading character screen, black screen and exiting back to main game menu...

It all worked fine before the update, and the problem is neither the internet nor the computers.

So hidden it was prominently featured in the Hidden Realms update directly under the heading 'Major Content'

https://steamcommunity.com/games/632360/announcements/detail/3724971346869698315

It's not like hopoo published the dedicated server setup guide themselves (Oh wait, they did.)
Or that it was a prominently featured guide at the time of that updates release (oh wait, it was.)

SMH.

Idiot aside, Regarding OP & Noncom- My friends and I are also having an issue with being unable to connect to a multiplayer session running on a Dedicated Server that seems to have -since the update- developed the 'weird extra window' bug that the update news said hopoo tried to patch with this update. All of us and the server are running on the current version. One's getting a black screen on attempt to connect, while i get a white screen and then get dumped back to menu.

Perhaps we've been spoiled by the move to dedicated servers- but the game performs much smoother on one than it does with p2p- and not being able to connect to it has left us not wanting to play the game. What brought me to this forum is hoping to hear if someone has a workaround or if hopoo is working on a patch to fix it.

[乙乙乙．．．]

Could anyone help me? After this update I can't play multiplayer at all, it just won't work anymore. No matter who joins me, or if I join them. We both desync and so on and this was not an issue before the update.

What happened?

It's not something you find... well... that often? The discord was asking for server lists just yesterday, and I didn't find this when I went into the mp menu. Im not going to search out the way to find a server list for every game, im sorry to say. Sometimes, im just going to look at a game and if I dont see a built in server browser...

I assume it doesn't exist.

I'm not going to say it. I'm just going to think it VERY LOUDLY.

I'm not going to post more pictures, guides, links, news announcements, etc. Clearly you haven't
read any of them and are not going to.

Just please stop trying so hard to justify being wrong on the internet for the sake of your fragile sense of self-worth. Instead just accept it, learn from it, and move on.

What IS more important here is the connectivity issues present in the latest update. It should be clear by now that OP isn't the only one having them. I would much prefer to see more about other people that are having them and hopefully any work-around they may have found.

Well...

I have read them, im not claiming there isnt one.

Im just saying that its not clear to most players who arent going to search the method out.

Sorry for having a wrong opinion
