Multiplayer multiple issues

from Offworld Forums

I had my first experience playing the game last night with 2 other friends and i must say it was a very mixed experience..

Firstly, we really loved the game... when it worked...

However, we experienced multiple issues.

1. We had troubles getting into multiplayer for 5 mins or so. The error was something like "logging into multiplayer services unavailable"

 

2. After beginning a game that I hosted, my 2 friends went to a black screen and the were not loaded into the game. Eventually I loaded in to an instant victory because they dropped.

3. In the multiplayer games that did work, in both of these games, one of each of my friends were inconspicuously replaced with an AI at some point in the game. They weren't alerted or anything, they just realised that random buildings were being made without their input, and eventually realised that they couldn't control anything, and an AI was instead controlling everything.

 

Has this game always been like this? Would really love to play it, but at the moment these issues make it unplayable.

Me and my friends are experiencing issue #3 on every game we play. I hope they will fix this soon.

We are having the same issue 3. Playing with the EGS client, if that matters.

Someone gets disconnected almost every game, it's pretty unplayable as is.

Same issue 3 for me and my friends on Epic games client. Some of us are getting disconnected during game (especially at beginning) or changed in AI despite still being in game.

I managed to reproduce the bug in single player skirmish by slowly scrolling to the left using the right mouse button while holding a building. Must scroll exactly to the left and slow enough to cause some kind of timeout. This will get you replaced by an AI. Conceding after this will show the game the way the AI sees it (lower quality / lower framerate). From here you can not exit the game in the usual way but you can by pressing alt+F4.

After changing my framerate setting from unlimited to 60 FPS I could not reproduce this bug anymore.

I can't even play with them. Everyone but host (whomever is trying to host) get's stuck in "preparing to launch".
