Lag on Lan server
« on: April 28, 2012, 03:23:59 pm »
My brother and i tried the demo, then got the full game to try CoOp.

We have quite a bit of lag while playing, it's odd lag though. If we stay moving it seems pretty fine, but stopping and starting has a delay on it. For example i'll see my brother in the jump animation hovering just of the ground.

I was assuming this wasn't normal for this game, cause it probably shouldn't be lagging over a lan connection.

Made sure it's not being blocked by a firewall, forwarded ports, messed around with the maximum transmission units a bit.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums :)

There's going to be some lag on movement even playing a client and server on the same machine, and somewhat moreso over a LAN connection.

That said, we've seen some recent reports of mp-lan lag appearing in 1.002+ that wasn't there before, what version are you running?

I started on 1.000, then updated to 1.006(i think that was it) seemed about the same on both versions. It's very playable, and game is good so it doesn't bother me much.
