My friends and I play together and usually it's just 3 of us. When we do have a fourth player, the game completely changes to being practically unplayable. I am the one who creates the lobby and I have very good internet - does that make me the host or is there another way it's decided? We do have one player who has very bad internet, but without a 4th person, it doesn't have an impact. We all have very new computers with high specs for what it's worth. Thanks in advance.

Peer to peer as in there is no host?

Whoever host lobby (Woods, or the pink color) is host. When host crashes or leaves, game decides a new host.

That's what I thought. It seems like the other players are dramatically hurting my performance, though.
Only when we add a 4th

Can you try and see if the same happens if another player hosts?

It could be your pc is unable to handle four players at the same time. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen something like that happen. Usually, the short term solution is to have someone else host until you think you've found the problem,

I'll try tonight and see. Out of all of us, I have the best PC + internet combination. All of ours are pretty modern - new within the last ~1 year. My wife and I have separate ISPs so maybe hers will fare better.

There have been people who have ran this game before that had good pcs but can't host. Yours might have the same problem.
Usually they resort to having someone they know host instead
If you play with randoms you could also just ask someone else to host in your lfg messages to host for you to avoid this from happening.

Did it help?

Yeah it was flawless lol.
Gonna make her do it every time
I’ll have to compare our setups and see if I can identify any deltas

That's great. I'm sorry I can't help more to see why it happens: Most of us just accept that as a fact and move on.

Very weird
It’s very delicate already because we play VR so the stars have to align for it to work at all
@sonic flare is there a known issue of assets not updating for a player? Our shitty internet friend will have enemies keep running around after they are dead and doors don’t show open for her so she can’t enter rooms. Inconsistent behavior but it happens every night.

That's just really bad desync.
Desync will affect doors, enemies and scouts. The last one is most important: you can sort of wait for doors, you can tell if enemies die in front of you if they stop moving, but scouts might bug even further.

Yeah. Any fix?

Yeah. Any fix?
Nah, comes with the territory of having bad internet connection. Think of it as rubberbanding with a traditional server-side setup. Needs to get better internet.

Ok good. That’s coming soon.

Anything else?

Welp, if you ever need help, I'll be around. Hope you won't need it, considering the amount of bugs still waiting for you around the corner 🙂
