Occasional hanging during a multiplayer game

UnfortunatelyNo · 09-28-2011, 06:10 AM

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Me and my friend were really looking forward to play this game through online co-op, but while we were playing the game kept freezing for 1 or 2 seconds very frequently.

EDIT: Never mind, just read the sticky and found that this problem is going to be fixed. Hope it will be fixed soon!

I'm still working out the kinks in the netplay. This was my first time coding Steamworks netplay so it was bound to be a bit rough for some people. There's going to be a couple things in the patch that should hopefully go out today, but I don't think it'll solve everyone's problems yet.

A steady process, it can't be helped, I'm just happy you are working to fix small kinks like these. If I encounter any problems at my end, I'll be sure to post about it in the pinned topic. I've unfortunately had problems in the past with a couple of Steam games, but I believe I shouldn't have a problem with Gundemonium.

Same issue here, the game does not appear to play at the same speed between 2 computers. So balancing the game with freezes is the engine's option to level it.

The possibility of inserting a buffer margin yourself would be convenient. Depending on the ping you have to your "teammate", you could configurate it manually...if such an option existed.

EDIT: You know, like creating a client-side fake lag, based on the opponent's ping, in order to result in a fluent gameplay, without having these "freeze-fixes".
