[2021] About current state of netcode

Hello!I decided to say a couple of things about it.

1. The netcode in the game is in the best state right now relatively to old times. We did a lot of things, plan to do a lot of things. It's not perfect, sometimes it's not even good enough, but it's a hard task that always was a highest priority. We are constantly working with unity, constantly implementing new methods and optimizations to increase quality of the networking and we had increased it lately. With the last patch we received much less complaints about it in general. We saw and seeing it on our monitoring also that the server lags decreased. Overall the situation is not as bad as ppl from community are trying to put some flames on.
2. The method called "let's put more pressure on these fcking devs" will not work. We all been there, it will result in alienation, frustration. Everybody will lose with that - especially reddit community. When we have a problem - we work it out. That how it is and how it was and how it will be - you know me. We tear our asses everytime something dangerous to the game happens and no need to "put a pressure" on us. especially with curse, hate and overall harassment to myself, my team, streamers, youtubers who already helped a LOT to increase your positive experience. That's really REALLY sad to read.

Despite this "pressure" some of you applied, we planned to move forward with many things related with networking (for example the great move to unity 2019 will give us a lot of abilities to improve it, we plan to improve the interpolation of movement, reduce potential bottlenecks which still exist, further reduce traffic and CPU load and so on). But most of the time all that you report and blame us that it's bad netcode and we don't care are NOT the cases of bad netcode. It's local and global network problems, provider hardware problems, which resulting to server overload, networking interface overload, decreased traffic bandwidth and so on. Also big part of reports are just normal gameplay things called "the shot outta nowhere". But! I agree that netcode could be better and it will be better - it's unquestionable. I can't thank ppl for blaming us that we don't care and that we did nothing to improve netcode. That is pure lie.

But, thank you, ppl for being polite and constructive in this and many terms of the game.

Peace.

UPD: thanks everybody for responses

UPD2: nobody said that it's perfectly fine, we are continuing to work with dsyncs and will provide patches with improvements
