Quick question:

thinking of hosting a temporary server in the near future for a private thingy with a few friends, is it possible for me to prevent respawning and weapon use, to remove lag spikes and other issues? (obviously I would try to allow people to spawn initially

It would be a race scenario, and lag spikes from respawning are a major issue when throwing cars through a ravine or gully and trying not to crash. Its only gonna be a test server really, to see if it is possible

Additional question: is frame rate from performance cost dependent on client device performance or host device performance?

@TheDesignate yeah, same here

@X99STRIKER replace my old phone with my old paptop, same situation

@X99STRIKER heres an example
My older phone doing a dogfight against my gaming PC

My older phone is a laggy mess from the start, i move my stick, and it takes a good second for the plane to respond, anf another while for it to appear on my PC. During that time, my PC could have taken advantage of my old phone's lag and have won before my phone could react

@X99STRIKER multiplayer will also be problematic for many, many devices, it isn't just trolls, but the devices have to sync between each other, taking into account different game speeds and physics settings

@X99STRIKER servers cost money to run, the devs already have to foot the bill for 3 websites with huge databases. Running thousands of multiplayer servers will be a money sink. And the devs have to program the backend of those servers by the way. It isnt just a one and done thing

@X99STRIKER crie
