Looking forward to the new build without test code.

I did find this line in the log a bit curious:

Well, I am testing this with my brother now. It desyncs all the time, and downloads the map again. Although we play over the internet, we both have 75/75 Mbps, and we are connected to the same physical node at the ISP, so we have a very good connection, with low latency. We use direct connection, no ...

Thanks for the answer. As I said I really look forward to multiplayer, and I'm glad you're working hard to get this implemented. Keep up the good work!

Quick edit: If you need to go the asm-route: Good luck!

I have done some multiplayer game programming myself using a deterministic game world and lock step as a method to keep games in sync. This was a project I did when I was studying for my degree, so no real game came out of it, but I learned a lot ...
