Progress slow but steady with Online MP stability

Jumpers! Thank you for helping us test the online multiplayer feature! We are aware of issues related to desyncs and some lobby crashes and input freezes. We are working hard to resolve these, but progress is slow. Sometimes we fix one aspect, but that solution causes something else to break. We had hoped to include more fixes in this patch for the weekend, but what we have included should help with stability somewhat. Keep testing and let us know how it goes! Submit bug reports from in-game with "F1". Thanks again for your support!

Patch Notes for Version 0.45.2056

Fixed an issue with desyncing in multiplayer when players used the Chat window while transitioning levels or moving their jumpers in the air.
PS4 controller input issues fixed.
Fixes for Daily and Weekly Challenges being non-uniform for all players.
Other minor fixes

Our immediate focus for production will be solidifying the online multiplayer experience for the majority of our players. This includes:

Loading screens for the transition from Loadout scene to Hive gameplay.
Reducing lobby bugs.
Adding low-end hardware performance settings (this will help multiplayer FPS for all players connected to a low-end machine).
Finding and fixing any other causes of desyncing.

After we achieve these goals, we will be able to focus on bringing the game to our other promised platforms, such as Mac and Linux, with cross-platform multiplayer (most likely), and then also adding content such as new aliens, campaign, queen fight, story, and more. We'll also be sprinkling in nice-to-have features such as rebind-able controls and other options. Thanks for sticking with us, and a positive review on Steam will help bring more Jumpers to our growing community!

In the 24th century, humanity is at war with a hostile alien race. Outnumbered a million to one, mankind’s only hope of survival is the J.U.M.P. Corps. Its mission is to fight the alien menace hive by hive and planet by planet.

You and your friends assume the role of JUMPERS, and blast your way through procedurally generated alien hives in chaotic run-and-gun 2D platforming action. Up to 4 Players band together in Local or Online Co-op to kill aliens, avoid traps, collect treasures and discover lost relics. Defeat fierce alien bosses to complete your mission and save the galaxy.
