No More Room in Hell 2 Developer Addresses Lag and Server Issues

No More Room in Hell 2, a sequel to the popular Half-Life 2 mod turned full release, is now in early access. Unfortunately, players have reported multiple issues on top of other complaints, leading to a “Mostly Negative” rating.

Torn Banner Studios has provided an update on lag and server problems. It’s already worked to address matchmaking, adjusting parameters to match players based on ping. Though another adjustment was made, it’s still “actively monitoring” the situation.

Meanwhile, the server issues resulted from Asia and US-West players playing on cloud instances with “about half the efficiency of our target” due to the service provider not having “adequate” options. As such, Torn Banner is working to address issues, including teleporting zombies, “slow hit reactions,” and so on. It’s also working on a hotfix to fix a “selection of gameplay and performance issues.” Stay tuned for further details.

No More Room in Hell 2 is available for PC via Steam Early Access. It features one map, multiple enemies and weapons, and permadeath characters, with plans to remain in early access for a year at least.
