tether Info on Multiplayer Non-Dedi

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, we recently did some test on the new Multi non-dedi and we were surprise how it is after some config change.

First try :

We kept every parameter as original, and see how far could everyone goes.
The result is 450m
Which is, to be fair, very low..

Here is some image to see how far it is :

Here on a full grid :

Second try :

There is a parameter when you create a solo/non-dedi session, in general, named : Non-Dedicated Host Tether Distance.
The value is set to 1, and the value is used to set how far you can go from host.
On our second try we set it to 5.0
I have no image to describe, but it was better, 5x better, but.. meh... you'll be able to across an entire island, but not an entire grid.

Third try :

Let's go Boys and Girls, let's set that value to x25.
 And well.. that's awesome x)
Even if as host I lost some performance (still better than official though), we could go almost everywhere.
Here is first image to see how far you can go without being TP

After that distance you will be TP to the host.
But the real question is : Can I go to the farthest island ?
We did some test on caculation, on H3, as it looks like on our very quick look, they have the farthest islands on eachothers.


Here is the result on paper, we should be able to go everywhere we want :

Real test :

I am the little cross, my friend is on the bed. And no TP at all, or unespected move.

 

Result :

x25 seems enough, but you can possibly do more if you want.
Though, the host active the grid where he's.
Others members can't go on another grid if host isn't on this grid.
If host change grid, other members and their boat will be TP near to host.

 

Pretty happy how the non-dedi work. Their still is all the bug solo has 😕 Hope they get patch soon
The non-dedi allow small groups (2 to 8 players) to play on the full map, as rent it cost really too much.
Still waiting for ISO: Blackwood 😄 

Hope this thread will help some people 👍

I just wanted to say I really appreciate you testing this out and posting about it. I just assumed the tether distance was a hard limit and thought I was stuck with going online for our small group. It's great to know the tether distance can be altered.

Yup, on our first test yesturday we didn't know either. And we were kinda disapointed ^^
Then I saw someone on the Steam forum saying we are able to modify the tether.
So we did further test, and this is so better.

Only few people know that we can actually change the value, that's why I made this post 🙂 
This simple value change everything imo

Did you guys every try changing grid with you, the host, and anyone else in the grid on a boat at the same time? I'm just curious that once you cross over to a new grid, its not kicking the other players off the boats or something random like that

It teleports the player and his boat near the host 🙂 
So no problem ^^

and if you're all on the same boat it doesn't tether right? you're all just there?

If you're on the same boat, it will do as on basic server 🙂
