Me and Kahn cant seem to get a game going. its stressing me out. Connection problems constantly

It's because there's a massive amount of bandwidth needed to play which causes there to be issues with MP, not only that, performance issues with top end systems.
I read for 2 player co-op on borderlands you need something like 106kbit/s upload stream, but for Magicka it's like around 450kbit/s! That's only for 2 players. There's something very wrong with their netcode.

SOO MANY BUGS!
AND SO MUCH LAG!
I've pretty much HAD to play it solo as the lag is ridiculous. But the fact that my game has closed randomly when I'm on chpter-ending bosses is rather infuriating.
Other than the plethora of faults, I think this game is BRILLIANT. I'd highly recommend it.... and I haven't even played it with more than two people at once yet!
It'd be ncie to see some dedi-servers but I know that's just REALLY wishful thinking : /

Had a hoot on this, this evening with a mate. We can't get past Stage 8 of the Challenges though before it crashes or loses sync, which is a shame. Will give it a rest until the netcode is sorted, I think!

Seems to be having real issues with my Router/Firewall but single player is awesome 
Shouldn't be too much lag between me and Hedge as the distance is relatively close and I have an 18meg line so upload at around 120kB/s (going by the upload speed from the guy above).
Love the single player side of it tho, stuck on KHAN
git keeps on bashing me into a corner and I can't get out of it

Wow, I decided to go ahead and buy this yesterday, and I cant believe how amazing it is!
I have a few questiones though:
1) Where are the early order bonus items?
2) Is it possible to click once and run to where you clicked? Keeping hold of the mouse button is annoying
3) Can AA be enabled somehow? I try forcing AA through the drivers but it wont work.

Well, I have the meteor shower spell from the preorder stuff, but I cant figure out what the middle icon is meant to be, and I cant find the staff / sword and hat
Lol, heal + shield spam on NPCs is super fun, they go boom and get healed =D
Achievement unlocked - Killing your friends, youre doing it wrong lol!

Got the meteor storm book, too, and, likewise, can't find the other stuff.
Anyway, the middle icon is for steam... so the whole spell is F D F Q D F <space>... but get a heal ready
In on the first level outside, theres a spellbook at the top of the twin tower thing, but I have no clue how to get it. I froze the water and got across the river to find the dead cheese guy and a useless grease spell, but I have no idea how to get to the top of the tower.

Ditto, couldn't figure that one out either. When you click on the guys body, it points up to the trapdoor...wondered whether you got back there at a later level...
