Patch Notes 1.0.0.9

Fixed

Fixed lag for players 2 and 3 when the 4th player joined the session.

Fixed an issue where some players received “Lost connection with host” when connecting to a host with server ping above 150 ms.

After 4 days of effort, we managed to diagnose and fix a bug that caused severe lag for players using a VPN, players from Russia, or simply players with ping higher than 150 ms when a 3rd or 4th player joined a session.

Additionally, when connecting to a host whose ping to the server was higher than 150 ms, some players would get the error “Lost connection with host” .

We discovered that synchronizing all physical body parts of corpse ragdolls over the network was so expensive—and hit the host’s connection so hard when the 4th player joined—that it completely killed the host’s ability to send packets to all 3 clients.

We have now optimized the network synchronization for corpses, and this issue is no longer present.

If you run into this problem again, please let us know on Discord and leave a report in our bug tracker: bug tracker

We apologize to everyone who couldn’t play as a group of four at launch because of this bug! But it’s fixed now—make sure to try playing this weekend!
