We know that much of our audience has been interested in playing this game online with friends. And even though development has halted on the game, we still really want to help people enjoy ORE with friends from far away. So we think we may have found a good solution.
Some very cool people have created a totally free app called Parsec that lets you host remote players on your local machine. Normally we wouldn't promote this sort of thing on our Steam page, but after getting a demo from the Parsec team and trying it ourselves, we were totally blown away at how well it worked for us.
Visit www.parsecgaming.com and watch their super simple instructional video on getting set up - it's as simple as setting up a profile, adding your friends, and launching the game. We recommend the host have strong internet connection, especially on the upload side. With good internet you should have a near-zero latency gaming experience with friends from anywhere. This solution doesn't just work for our games, it works for ALL local-only multiplayer games. But the craziest part is: Parsec is FREE. Definitely worth giving it a shot. Hopefully this helps.
Thanks for all your time and support, and we hope you enjoy ORE!
