This works 100% in version 1.3. I have not tested in other versions. My brother and I have consistent 80ms pings, and can play for 3 to 5 hours before lag sets in. When the lag sets in, it may be 20 to 25 seconds between pressing an action key and the action occuring.

Here is the fix. My brother uses two computers on a 100mbps lan. He hosts the game on one computer and then loads my character and joins on the other. Play for 30 seconds and save the game. Whatever lag was in the game, is not 'caught up' and goes away. When then play over the internet and the lag is gone.

Try to use hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc/).
Running a LAN MP Session via the internet, using their VPN system, works like a charm for me and my friend - until we reached the great tower ;) (but thats no connection issue).
Without hamachi we are unable to play because of lags, spinning, warping an all that nonsense.

We just got the 30 second lag again. From pressing 'e' to seeing inventory takes over 30 seconds. Well, actually about 24 seconds. We loaded the game on lan and saved, but the lag did not go away. I guess we'll play at christmas next because we'll be local then.

Any developers want the save game file? You can tell there is lag when JOINING the game. When selecting my character it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to pop over to the left side of the screen.
