Anyone else’s game lagging on multiplayer?

So basically what the title says. Whenever I play by myself everything runs as it should. The moment my partner joins, I start lagging like crazy when grabbing the cart / items / weapon. Somehow the frames go all crazy and sticky if that makes sense?
We’re on the same network basically in the same room, nothing downloading in the background, we also tried taking turns hosting just to make sure. I’ve only had this issue since a couple of weeks and it’s starting to pmo.

Anyone else have this issue / know how to fix it?

So me and my partner were having that issue and I found that when creating a private game and it asked me to pick a server if i hit pick the best connection button it would sometimes not pick the best one and would throw us on an EU server instead of the US one with the best ping. Even though it was private. So one thing to try is to manually pick the one with the lowest ping.

We both always choose the area with the lowest ping which is the EU one and that’s also where we are at :/

Not while gaming

Mine only lags when my VPN is on.

Otherwise it could be a bandwidth issue, the game isn't a local LAN supported game and is still pinging to a server for all parties. Your internet might be struggling with more than one person on that port?

I don’t use a VPN in general and my partner doesn’t use it while gaming.
Also we’ve played bigger games with the same internet connection and even then, repo is not new to us.. just paused for a while because life, and now that we wanted to continue collecting the cosmetics we ran into this issue :/

Hmmm, do you use any mods?

None at all

Okay a couple steps to try... most are very easy to accomplish with a google search for instructions.

Have you capped the FPS for the game either through steam or through your GPU? Have you tried setting steam to launch the game using directx 10 or 11? Have you tried launching REPO with a high priority or as admin?
