changedHi everyone. We've been working on improving the network performance for Satellite Reign, as well as trying to help people in different regions play together. We've updated the beta channel we used before the Co-op release with a build which allows players to connect directly instead of via the Unity relay servers. In our small-scale testing, it has been a massive improvement, but we'd like to test it on a larger player pool before setting it live for everyone. To try it out, right-click on Satellite Reign in Steam, select Properties, and go to the BETAS tab. From there, click the drop-down box and choose coop_beta from the list. You will then update to the latest build. Just note, while this should allow friends in different regions to connect, they still won't show up in the default server list. However, if you change your filter to "Friends" you should see any games being hosted by people on your friends list, regardless of their region. Let us know how it goes! 5 Lives Team.
