Why is multiplayer so broken???

[Melkbeg]

I have never played a multiplayer co-op game that is so janky. When I host, my friend drops. When she hosts, I drop. It's like it has become even WORSE since the full release! We both have great internet and stay connected in discord voice the whole time. The lag is so bad in game that I fall through the floor of our base when I connect. Or I can't interact with items because I am actually 3 feet to the left and then eventually pop into place. We have played other multiplayer games together for years. Minecraft. Don't Starve. Valheim. Borderlands. Phasmophobia. Human Fall Flat. NONE of these games have drop issues. What the actual pluck! End rant thank you.

I feel the same way every time I play.

Ask the devs. They wanted to release the ability to host the game on servers with 1.0 release.
Instead, we got "Shared Saves".
That also went down the drain. They really struggle with the multiplayer thing.

oh i thought this game was a huge hit because of its sucesful multiplayer. Do you mean to tell me most of the players online right now are playing this game solo?

More like because it has a unique setting and because of all the 90's references.
It's a good game, but the devs don't know how to code a stable multiplayer.
In the beginning it was "It's EA! They'll fix it!" but yeah, they never did...

Have had only a few problems with MP, but they fixed it.

I can say we played allrealy over 100 hours without big problems. I tryed to identify some problems of other members but didnt found sure solutions because of the complexity of using two programms to start and to share the game... this is in my eyes the biggest errorsource.

But what i can say for sure, the game IS playable without problems, so there must be some problems with the individual config of the PCs. Adminrights, security software, not opened ports and so on....

Same as above, wife and I play, would love it so we can play locally, but microsoft seems to have a thing where it has to go through servers these days. Only problem we've had recently was when the missus was on mobile internet, but grounded wasn't the only game suffering then.

Thank you, I will look into this. I've never had to configure any other multiplayer before, so it's just flat out annoying.

Just finished the game after 92 hours, all in co-op, and we've had minimal issues with the online part of the game.

Sometimes game state doesn't sync immediately, so a player might look like he's falling when he's actually running around normally, but we've not experienced disconnects or anything like that.

It is a really fun single player game too, but the multiplayer aspect is frustrating as heck. Who knows, maybe you will have a better experience than I have.
