Multiplayer desync

I have this bug since day 1, in multiplayer, as soon as we are 2 players or more, we experience desync just after a few minutes of gameplay and it becomes unplayable. I was hoping this was fixed in Hotfix 1.1.0.2 today but no, we just tried and still the same. I was playing with my brother, 5 minutes into the game he saw me walking always in the same direction and when I try to use a skill, it goes in the wrong direction. For instance, if I throw Flight of Gavaanir from left to right, my brother will see it being thrown from right to left instead, so no damage is being dealt to any mobs. If I face a boss and try to hit it with Anvil's Woe, it doesn't do damage as the other player sees me using the skill in the wrong direction. I saw multiple posts with the same issue but nothing seems to be done regarding this, this is a gamebreaking bug for people who wants to play multiplayer as we can't do any damage unless we use auto-attacks. Also, forgot to mention, my ping is always around 15-20ms so there is no lag, it's just a desync.

This issue is listed in the 1.0.4.0 known issues here https://wolcengame.com/forum/announcements/official-news/1040-known-issues/ but is still not fixed.

Same thing here :'(
I wish there could be some communication from the community managers about an ETA on a fix or something. Multiplayer is just unplayable.

Hello,

I can confirm this desync. It is in the game for a long time. I play coop mainly and wasn't able to play my meele char the whole time because of this bug.

My workaround for this is at the moment is not to use "Anvil's Woe". Without the skill we were able to play without any issue (desync) through act 1 and 2. With the skill used I had to restart every ~5 minutes to get rid of the desync. This tip was posted in another topic here in the bug report forum and it helps if you realy want to play the meele char at the moment.

Hopefully this issue will be solved in the near future.
