Bugbear NCG: Wreckfest now has real deal online Multiplayer.

Purple44 · 11 Oct 2014 at 08:15

After a long wait Bugbear has finally release Build #6 that has real deal online Multiplayer and Bugbear has given Next Car Game
an official new name, Wreckfest. After 15 hours last weekend of online racing, derbying and Team Deatmatches,
I think the new name fits.

Build #6 Live! Official Name Revealed, Multiplayer Introduced

I have not found the time yet to do up a video from the videos I took last weekend,
so here a few videos of the action going on online with Wreckfest:

Here video of a guy that just bought Wreckfest:

Here video from Bugbear forum member Iwasawa:

Here video of some Fins racing online with some awesome car damage:

Beware there is some lag to deal with, especially if join 14-18 player lobbies.
Here a thread with tips on how to keep lag to a minimum online:

There some fun times to be had online if you like a little contact racing online.

Why make another thread when there is already a NCG thread that contains all this info that you already post in.....

Just no lol.

Other thread title can easily be changed by a mod, no need for a new thread.

Wreckfest???

Ew, not a fan of that name. Did they ask the coummunity for name suggestions?

Anything with 'fest' in it sounds a bit daft.

Sounds like Breakfast.

I'll probably buy the final game. I'm a big fan of the FlatOut series.

This is currently 30% off on Steam:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/228380/

It's one of the best Early Access games, purely because there's no storyline so you can just jump in and start smashing cars up in online multiplayer!

The Devs can play rough!!!!

One of our own tried to get one over on the rest of us when doing some Wreckfest playtesting. We sorted him out.

I have over 80 hours in this since Feb, a big chunk of it since mp hit. Not bad for an early access game, it's a blast!

MadMouse101 · 25 Oct 2014 at 13:41

I just bought this today. Can't wait to get on multiplayer

nitram100 · 25 Oct 2014 at 19:49

Cheers for the heads up on the Steam deal, just bought it. Will give it a go in a while

varkanoid · 25 Oct 2014 at 20:42

see other thread we dont need two.

murah · 25 Oct 2014 at 21:46

I'll be honest keyboard probably isnt the best controller but had a blast on multiplayer and won a derby vs 15 others!!

Solz · 26 Oct 2014 at 08:29

Bought this last night and played a good few multiplayer matches its great fun and barrel of laugh's when you see the nutty stuff that people get up to....!!
the net-code and physics seem awesome well worth £14 and it can only get better as its still in alpha!!(played with a 360 controller need to try it out with a steering wheel)

weyland yutani · 26 Oct 2014 at 11:29

The net code was very good, much better before updates a few days ago, much more laggy since then. Overall though mp is very well implemented for such an early stage.

nitram100 · 26 Oct 2014 at 21:00

Disappointing so far. The game is a good laugh but most servers are rubbish races, hardly any derby matches and no one joins when I set one up.

Hope it picks up a few more players because it feels like I've wasted money.

Give this thread a read about hosting:

Multiplayer Server Port

But there are those that have not been able to host:

Did the port forwards, multiplayer still doesn't work

I like the Team deathmatch derbys online

, but not many host this mode. Seem the Speedway oval track the most popular track hosts are picking.
