Can confirm the combat issues during the imp encounter are all too real. 2 friends and I tried to fight through the massive desync, but we couldnt make it past round 2 before it was just all of us watching nothing happen trying to figure out why it wouldnt progress. The game is unplayable multiplayer in its current state, i doubt it will be playable within the next year with how little it worked. It seems as though all they did was try to add further functionality to the original DOS2 engine, and it is failing hard. I started the lobby thinking there would be bugs, and that even if its only part 1, it would still be nice to try it out, and help report bugs so development could work everything out for the full release, but i cant even get 10 minutes into the game before it breaks. Ill check back in 6 months, i will only ruin the game for myself if i keep attempting to play it like this.
