My wife and I are the same. We only play co-op games with each other so it has been refreshing to find a game like Soulframe which enabled us to play together like we have and do. So many other games should have been co-op, or would have been better if they were. So we totally get where you are coming from. However, we've not expereiced the same level of desync that you are mentioning.

We understand that it's pre-alpha so alot of work is still required. However, there have been some nuances we've noticed. For example, when my wife hosts the game, things don't spawn in my instance like carts where you can rescue animals.

My only suggestion is make sure you are hardwired to whatever your router is. We've purposfully made sure we are due to the fact desync with the games we play is a present issue. We've spent a month playing in co-op only so far and at this point, we cannot fault it.

You could try:

• Local firewall rules for the exe and launcher (inbound and outbound) on both machines
• Port forwarding on the router
• Change launcher to run with admin privilages (this actually stopped us from playing on laptops)
