addedAdded a way to investigate what's causing the multiplayer delay issue. If you run into the issue, then before you start another game, type %appdata% into your windows search bar, press enter, and then go to Godot -> app_userdata -> Relentless Expanse. In that folder, you'll find a file called "lastGameReport.dat". Just create a bug report, post that file, and we'll take it from there! Every report helps us narrow down the issue, so we greatly appreciate everyone that's able to help us with this!
