Update ahoy: Windrose's latest patch addresses those annoying connectivity problems by adding another option for players to try if they're suffering any lag. A litany of minor fixes have been made in tow, as well as numerous small additions to make gameplay a little better.
The topmost feature here is the new setting, called Force Relay Connection. Essentially, this pushes the connection through using one of the game's relay servers, if you're having trouble getting into a friend's game. It's not a full P2P connection, so ping takes a hit, but it'll hopefully allow you and your friends to play together. Note, though, that it doesn't work on Direct IP connections.
