    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      Pretty sure since I live in Japan i get packet loss lag. If I got a VPN do you think it would help with that? If not any ideas on how to fix?

        What helps with having low lag is the following
        Good ping to other players (under 500)
        Low Latency
        Low jitter
        very low packet loss
        good cpu

        You can use this site to check your network
        https://speed.cloudflare.com/

        First make sure your home network has no issues like faulty network cables, switches or very old routers that are dying.
        Also make sure your ISP has not put you on a Carrier-grade NAT, if they have try an op out of it.

        Also you want to make sure your NAT type is OPEN (you can use Xbox console companion to test this) https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/xbox-console-companion/9WZDNCRFJBD8?hl=en-au&gl=au&rtc=1

        Also while gaming make sure someone on the network is not saturating your download or upload bandwidth.

        Hope this helps.
