Lag in multiplayer

Hello all,
I have just brought the game and me and my friend were playing, we reached a stage where we had just built our fortifications and happy that we could focus on building a great castle and village. The issue is that the lag on multiplayer made this unbearable even playing on LAN.
When I load the game up on single player it works with no problem but we brought this to play together.

Are there any planned updates to fix this on this game?

Thanks
Tox

    Hey toxic200,

    Can you elaborate on which kind of lag you're experimenting?

    Is it the issue where Bricktrons for the client are stuck on place not moving, but still playing their running/walking animation?

    Hello Shatojon
    Thank you for your quick response.
    Wheat happen is the game will work for 10 seconds then pause for 2 seconds then work for 10 seconds then pause for 2 seconds etc.
    I can try and get some in game footage of this to share with you if you think it would help?

    Thank you for your time

    Hey toxic200,

    Garbage collection "freezes" in large games are a known thing unfortunately. It's also affected by the computer specs of the person hosting the game. Whoever has the beefier computer and more stable internet connection should be the one hosting the game. :)

    Those freeze spikes are affected by what's going on in the game too; if you have a huge amount of stockpiles or modified your game files to allow more units than 15, etc.. you're likely to get more lag spikes.

    Thank you Shatojon for your response.
    We found by exiting the game and reloading solved the issue.
    When starting a game playing for 30 mins the spikes would start happening on the initial start. Then when we quit and restarted we could play the game for HOURS with no more spikes and so far are build unlimited bricks and buildings which is great :).

    You guys have made a really fun game here which we are very much enjoying!

    Thanks

    Hey do you only restart the map or the whole game. I am curious

    I restart the whole game.
    So it starts to lag, we both exit the whole game, restart and reload
