Update on Deterministic Lockstep

Exciting news indeed; thanks as always for the update Chris. Keep up the great work!

This will be by far the most meaningful improvement for me than any content or expansion.

Very hyped

For some reason this looked like the most anticipated update of the century or something, not for me though, I kinda learned to live with desynch and in 9 out of 10 cases I had issues was with a lockbox.
But yeah I'm mostly happy for all the goddamn trolls/idiots/annoying pricks that brought desynch up on every topic, every forum, every youtube comment, those days will be finally over. I guess it's a matter of time they find something else to blame their deaths on though.

But nice job, kind of sad so many effort had to go in it that could have been used for content.

I don't care that much about dying to desync, but any kind of fun build that i wanted to play was not playable or enjoyable due to desync. Just take a Cycloner for a spin, and then try a flame totem character, for instance, and tell me the difference is not like night and day for you too.

That's just comapring two attacks, never mind all the other stuff that goes on in the fights that you don't see since you're 2 screens away from your actual position.

Another bonker example. While HOLDING SHIFT (attack by standing still) i somehow moved to a room down the stairs and i wasn't even in that room, let alone see the stairs that i had to take a roundtrip to go down.

I'm glad you learned to cope with desync, I didn't, so I'm happy for this change.

I get around 80-90 latency. Damn it, I am really close to the limit you have set, what should I choose?

Try both; that's what "betas" are for.

i get too much lag on my latency so its gonna be awesome for me.. HYPE

How do you activate the lock step?

For me the best news since Closed Beta of PoE "classic".
Better than the content of the awakening itself.
Finally a chance to play HC =)

If it really works i will spend some bucks again!

Get about 90 ping average with loads of random spikes. Even though chances of me being able to use this is low, hopefully it works well and all the babies will shut the hell up already. Although I'm pretty sure someone will find something else to blame their deaths on. Never once died to desynch on any HC characters personally. Good luck with the implementation devs and may it bring us all a big sigh of relief as the complaints "hopefully" calm down.

Looking forward to this!
