Multiplayer driving issues

[Mike Litoris]

Hello there fellow drivers!

We have a strange problem(?) with my friend in multiplayer mode.
Whoever the host is he can drive normally just like in single player.
But the other's driving is all messed up. The bus keeps sliding (i think thats the best way to describe it) all over the road.Its just unplayeble,you constantly hit curb stones,or just slide to the oncoming traffic

We tried both ways,same results,only the host can drive normally.
Tried without steering wheels ( I have a G27,my friend has Thrustmaster something,not quite sure about the exact model).Same results

Eventually we run out of ideas,tried to find some solution online,but nothing
It seems like noone has this issue,watched some videos too about multiplayer but they didn't have this problem,or just didn't mentioned it,dunno.

We would be grateful if somebody had an idea what the heck is going on with this.

Thank you in advance.

Ps: Sorry if i massacred english.

"Skidding" is probably a better word than "sliding", but I get what you're saying.

Can you both drive normally in single-player?

Hey! That sounds a lot like there are some bandwidth issues between you and your friends PC... We're working on improving the networking and might release some patches in the future, but we can't really do anything about latency. We are definitely looking into it, and are aware of the issue, but right now can't do much about it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the info, yes it is normal for single player and for the host player also

Hi! Thank you for the heads up!

What does this depend on? Because i can't really see this problem nor mentioned eslewhere. As for myself i have a pretty good internet connection, 1000/1000 Mbps and 2-3ms of ping if that matters. Any idea what can we do to at least reduce the problem?

The connection between you and other person(s) may be congested or the other person may not have a good connection.

This mainly depends on the bandwidth limit that is set in the game, which we have set relatively low at the moment. We're looking into increasing it, but have had some issues with that when testing, so we're still trying to figure out the best option to work around this bandwidth limit.

Hi!

He has almost the same internet connection as i do,also 2-3 ms ping on his side.
If the problem is network related, why is that we have no issues in other games?Even Bus Simulator 18 worked fine in coop mode for us. This is the only game where it does this weird stuff.

Okay, thanks for the info!

We have one temporary fix that might help you!

[/script/engine.player]
ConfiguredInternetSpeed=80000
ConfiguredLanSpeed=80000
[/script/onlinesubsystemutils.ipnetdriver]
ConnectionTimeout=15.0
InitialConnectTimeout=60.0
MaxClientRate=20000
MaxInternetClientRate=20000
 

You could take this text block and paste it into

%localappdata%\BusSimulator21\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

to try to increase the values for MaxClientRate, MaxInternetClientRate and maybe also the Configured speeds.

This might work, it might also not do anything.

Either way, we're on it and will try to fix it as soon as possible!

It is simply just outrageous that something that used to be perfectly fine in Bus Sim 18 is now an absolute nightmare compared to Bus Sim 18. It should not be the client making a fix on their end, rather the developers. From what I can see this issue continues to exist even after almost three full years post release of the game... Please fix your game!
