Hi!

First, congratulations to magicka designers. This is one of my favorite games. So much good easter eggs!

But I could never play this game with more than 2 players. I could play with my girlfriend in lan connection only. Always when I try play with my friends over steam/internet, it crashes every time!

You start with 4 players. Then 1 player crashes when the game is starting. Get out all players. Call everybody again to next try. Lets go! Good. The game started with all. You go to tutorial dungeon. When loading the game, someone is not there. That player was dropped. Banana and another player dropped. Go go go. 2 players get Gease. Next scenario and get out to 4 players again. 1 or 2 tries to start. Nice. We are playing with friends and the game is getting fun. One boss. Lets go... another load! Nooooo! The host was dropped! 1 friend quit. Another is about to quit cursing the game.

Please! Fix it! It is a bug when the game is loading. The game crash and close or just drop. This game is very fun and a lot more when you play with friends. DLC's and "version 2 of the game" are more attractive to buy when the game 1 has no bugs.

Thanks.

There are some problems with the netcoding of this game and people have come up with various work arounds for the problems over the years. I'm afraid that there won't be any updates to the game to fix the issues however. Sorry :/

Here are some resources for problem solving:

I'm sorry I couldn't provide you with more specific solutions.
 
So you acknowledge that in a co-op focused game basic co-op doesn't really work, yet continued to create DLC and work on a sequel without ever fixing it?

Sorry if I come across annoyed, but me and 2 friends just bought this and despite being a relatively old game with many patches and DLCs released it basically doesn't work. Sometimes we can't leave a lobby, sometimes the menu is black, the UI is unintuitive and unresponsive. When we do get into a game there is severe FPS and network lag. It's completely unplayable.

EDIT: oh right, the forum is so incredibly dead that I managed to necro from the first page.

The netcode was not very good for Magicka, no. We did work on it a lot, but it was not easy to fix. We did learn much from it however. And we kept making DLC's as people kept asking for and buying them. It's as simple as that.

I think you might have better luck getting help with connection issues over at http://steamcommunity.com/app/42910/discussions/ Most Magicka talk takes place on the Steamhub these days, but thank you for coming to this back alley of the internet.
It's always nice with visits :)
