Multiplayer programming bug BROKE MY GAME

December 3, 202210212

Description

I'm adding mutliplayer networking to my voxel game. I wanted to share this bug I ran into that took me a full day of detective work to solve. Reliable UDP was the root cause, because I didn't fully understand that the reason laminar recommends us to send a lot of reliable packets, is because, so packet acknowledgment are sent. I'm using laminar networking library for rust. https://github.com/TimonPost/laminar My discord group: https://discord.gg/9P8QSYf Want to support me?
