Summary
First over-the-internet test of Survival Mode Multiplayer

We just finished doing the first test of Multiplayer Survival Mode, and it worked relatively well.

There were plenty of bugs, of course, such as lag spikes making the client prediction break badly (blocks reappear), duplicate resources spawning (with half of them being fake ones that can’t be picked up), doors behaving badly, the server lagging when people join/leave and explore at the same time, and ultimately (after about 30 minutes) running out of memory and crashing.
