Multiplayer Update Now Live

:nidhoggyengarde: Hey Everyone :nidhoggoengarde:

We are super excited to unleash a big update for Nidhogg's online multiplayer functionality!!

We have been working with another programmer, Vadim Dyachenko (@yellowafterlife), to improve the latency and desync issues in the online multiplayer mode of Nidhogg.

Rather than having a set frame delay on the inputs, the new system sets the delay based on your connection. Remember that a connection is only as fast as the slowest player!

Matchmaking has also been sped up a bit and various graphical bugs that could crash the game have been fixed.

The current build ID for the update for mac+pc is 710182. If you want to confirm that you have the update, check preferences > local files and make sure you have a number the same or bigger than that.

We really appreciate your patience during this process, and hope to see you on a more equal online playing field.
