Public lobbies, improved networking stability, and much more [Prototype Update #52]
🕑 Added 2022-07-28 18:24:13 +0000 UTCHi! Today's update features some big changes:
- We've added a server browser, which means public lobbies are available, so it should be easier to find matches. Note that this is limited to the prototype playerbase, so I don't expect a ton of lobbies.
- Improved networking stability. We're no longer using prediction for things like other warriors, so overall the experience should be much smoother for clients!
As usual, all updates below!
Cheers,
Davidevs
Full Changelog (0.2.27P)
- Added: Public match browsing UI. When creating a lobby, you can now set whether it is public or private. Public lobbies will show in a list and anyone with the prototype build will be able to join the lobby to play with you. Note that currently, we don't expect a ton of public lobbies, given the userbase is limited to active patrons with prototype access.
