I’ve been playing with my boyfriend on a shared realm and we’ve been getting a lot of the lag and disconnects reported by others. We really want to play together so I’ve been investigating to see if I can figure out when it happens as it seems like a sync problem between clients and the server.
It definitely happens even when I play solo on our shared realm but less so. And I’ve started to feel like it happens more when I’m doing things that effect the wild life smashing barrels and other destructible objects or gather resources.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that I often get steam messages when I log in about differences between local and remote saves which is pretty odd and make me think that is a factor.
FWIW I’m a professional software dev and I’m willing to do targeted testing or investigating if it would help figure it out because it’s frustrating as hell and he might stop playing if it melds happening which would suck.
We play on steam decks if that’s relevant for data collection. I’m but at if there are debug logs or anything I can gather for you
Thank you! The game is awesome and I don’t wan him to quit in frustration before we can get further in.
