NetcodeMultiplayerOptimisation
Project overview
Joined during a rocky beta where the netcode was the top complaint, rebuilt the replication layer, and stayed through launch to keep matches smooth at scale.
1
The challenge
Existing netcode capped matches at 16 players with visible rubber-banding above 80ms.
2
What we did
Rewrote the replication layer with delta-compressed snapshots and client-side prediction tuned for vehicular physics.
3
The result
64-player matches now hold under 20ms average latency on live servers.
