Once Human is presently suffering from server lag issues, Starry Studio has confirmed. The Chinese developer also promised some compensation for Once Human players affected by the ongoing situation.
Starry Studio's post-apocalyptic survival game was originally released for PC in early July 2024. Its free-to-play nature and compelling gameplay loop helped it quickly establish a sizable audience, with the game peaking at over 231,000 concurrent Steam players shortly following its debut.

Once Human players express frustration with the co-op experience, highlighting various challenges that affect gameplay enjoyment.
Four months later, some of these issues appear to still persist. Specifically, Starry Studio has just confirmed that it has recently identified more server lag problems with the game. While the exact scope of the problem is currently unclear, the developer said that the lag is only affecting select servers. Given this state of affairs, the company is currently working on "urgent fixes," having said as much in a November 1 tweet. It remains to be seen...
