How Stable is Multiplayer/Co-op
I tried searching for an answering about how stable doing multiplayer/coop is but when I did it seems I found a lot of threads talking about cheating etc etc.

But I'm rally only curious about if me and a friend maybe 2 can create a game and have a enjoyable experience without to many bugs/glitches to the point that the game seems unplayable.

The game itself is pretty stable with occasional FPS issues, especially with RTX cards. There also minor bugs but nothing game breaking. Connectivity issues are mainly tied to who's hosting the server and their connection unless you guys are using a 3rd party host.

I played with 3 friends last night for around 4 hours without a single crash.

Except our Karave.... Into the plains.... in the dead of night. Then we all died to deathsquitos.

Avoid the deathsquitos. And do not get off the boat unless you know you won't die

I did note a few odd bugs. The most prominent: one of my friends had a seagull imbedded in him for about an hour out of the three.

Cheating isn't a problem as long as you make it a non community server. You can make a p2p server where you just set a password and your friend can join. Multiplayer is very good although my friends and I have been experiencing lag when multiple players are together. Its not the end of the world but if you base together you may just need to wait 3 seconds to open a chest.

Just play with a password server and you good to go, depend you wanna be host or join others.

See, we tried 6 last night and ran into problems with them being able to access chests and myself trying to attack deer and other critters and them taking no damage, nor attacking or running away. When three of them left it went back to working correctly.

It's solid with up to 5, you'll sometimes get the bugs of stuff glitching into the ground or flying away, which also sometimes become invisible to some in the lobby.

Pretty uncommon though, and not really major on the gameplay.

I've been playing with wife. About 200 in game days. Co-op has been a blast. No bugs, no odds, no fatal FPS drops, no sync problems. Well, no problems at all. Just the game related small accidents like dying to the falling trees.

World saving takes almost 1 second (fast M.2 SSD). We have several bases and dozen huts build around the map. It's quite big save i guess. In the beginning saving was like 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.

Playing on two servers with 6 to 8 players on at a time. Haven't had any problems at all.

been playing for about 180 hours on a buddies dedicated game day 372 last time I saw, 2 others on most of the time up to about 6.

Running this on a 5 year old crap box of a comp. only time it bogs down is by where we've built way too much stuff and sometimes in the swamp where there's about 4 surtling spawns with the flame geysers.

been running strong since first boot though.
