How is multiplayer?

[BenDragon81037]

I've been looking at mudrunner and it does seem promising.

Does MP work like in the old one, or can you finely interact with other people's stuff? It would be very handy for having HET bridges.

[EN16M471C]

It's basically the same.

Only different thing I've noticed so far is how now one player can unlock trucks for the rest of the players.

i had 2 Game sessions with Friends first we had to get used to

My Brother was loading up my Logs on to my truck .... when he had to "give" me the 4 logs so i could pack them (which is working fine) if this is the interaction u mean ?

[haessliches Frettchen]

you can't drive/interact the car or trailer from other mates when they don't use it,
when the mates in the car you can interact with them

Had same questions....but often players don't know each other ...so almost zero interaction. Or should there still be ?

[BenDragon81037]

Yeah, from what I take from your answers, it's pretty much the same.

Het bridges in spintires are a type of attachment that you can attach to a HET truck.

The bridge normally unfolds from the back of the truck to make an artificial bridge.

The way I was hoping for spintires, was the fact that in the MP session, there was only one set of trucks which was shared by everyone, including all atachments.

Also another 2 things I forgot to mention. MP session can now be saved and there's actual in game voice chat, for those who don't use discord or TS.

Are multiplayer games still hosted by player or more reliable?

What about replacing disconnected players mid-game?

Still the same

You could always do that with someone from your friends list, they still don't show up in the server browser though.

I don't see any great multiplayer project here. Standalone is great. MP is awful and inexistant. A real shame. It would be nice to hear from the devs if something is going to change. Anybody ?

I actually like the MP. It is basically the same except the things mentioned (taking logs from players + ghosted trucks + saved games (!) ) but for what it is, if you can even find one half-decent player willing to stick to it for the long haul then its an almost perfect way to play hardcore, imo.
Turn the game balance down to one star and your in for a very long night haha.
Sure, there are improvedments to be made but Im not complaining yet....

MP is fine I think, but I don't play with random people. I just play with one friend and we haven't had any issues except once when his game crashed and reset all his vehicles back to their starting positions. Other then taht we've had lots of fun with the multiplayer

In the AMA (a few days ago) their short-term feature goals are proper level support in workshop and wheel support for consoles, and some bug fixing (lights not mentioned). Adding MP lighting/other effects will likely be a fairly big rewrite.

Ok, actually I have seen that inviting friends gets them in game quick and safe, that is fine. I sa that late. So we do have MP at least from the friends point of view. Ok...still, for the rest, would like to see more.
