First let me say that you have an incredible game here and can easily be the best indie game on the marketplace. Most of the indie games seem to have very little effort put into them and I can tell that a lot of hard work and sleepless nights have been poured into this. Well done.
I have been recommending this game and will continue to do so.

Now on to the bugs/issues.

My issues are these.

I notice when players join my game they are bouncing around all over the screen, and not just when they enter the game eitherr. When we go to the next part of a city the appear in odd places while myself and my guest appear where we should.

The difficulty seems a bit too high. This is one of the biggest issues to me and the people I have played with. At first I thought it was just my skill level but after playing it longer I have gotten better but still have a hard time making progress. I noticed that even online with 4 players we do not make it far. By no means do I want it to be easy, but perhaps a tad easier. I am sure with the increased health you get from health packs, maybe some ammo tweaks, and a slight tweak on the difficulty it would be perfect.

And of course connection issues. players are dropping out unintentionally and have told me they lose connection. I however have only been booted once.

I know that these issues have been stated here so forgive me if this is redundant.
I look forward to the patch and can't wait to see you all online.

Hey LastFewSeconds,

1. The player spawn formations will be fixed in the first patch that should roll out on Wednesday/Thursday. Your friends wont bounce around into a group of guys beating on them.

2. I have increased the drop rate slightly for the white health packs. The white health packs will also give 40 health rather than 25 health.

3. Hopefully with the extra drop rate on health packs and the increased health from packs, the game will be easier. Difficulty ramps up a bit depending on how many players are playing. Enemies health will increase.

4. We tested the online connections again in the patch and the issues will be resolved. Since the network code is all over the game, it is the main cause for the crashing errors. For right now we recommend setting your online options to "private" to prevent incoming connections during Story Mode.
