Looks amazing! Nice one, OP :D
Quick thank you note! You guys are awesome, even though I don't play your game as often as I used to, what you guys created is true art and I have so many fond memories! It makes me happy seeing your comment here and being involved with the community still!

Ooh nice concept, nature is neat!
Read moreThanks for the comment! I'll try to sticky it in the video underneath my video to make sure people can see.
Input buffer size is not the same for everyone. It tries to grow or shrink depending on network jitter (variance in latency)
If that is true, then does that mean the server accepts inputs from some players later than others? That doesn't sound too fair to me. Or does your statement mean, that the client simulates even further ahead to create a bigger buffer for the inputs?
The issue you are seeing is not the actual ping going up with increased FPS.
I hope I didn't make it sound like I thought the real ping is higher just because it shows higher on the scoreboard.
The reason I made my assumption with the calculation was that I pinged the IPs of the servers manually and they gave me exactly the ping that I got at 60FPS but I guess that could've just randomly worked out and it's just inac...
If that is true, then does that mean the server accepts inputs from some players later than others? That doesn't sound too fair to me. Or does your statement mean, that the client simulates even further ahead to create a bigger buffer for the inputs?
What it means is, if a player is averaging packets arriving anywhere between 100 and 125 ms of latency (25 ms of jitter), they have (ideally) 25ms of input buffer to ensure they always have enough inputs in the buffer to last until they next packet comes in. This keeps the input buffer as small as possible so we aren't adding too much extra delay to processing their inputs.
If another player has very high jitter (packets taking anywhere between 100 and 150 ms), they need a 50ms input buffer to handle the 50ms of possible lull between incoming packets.
Great video as always! I wanted to clarify some things mentioned in the video:
Hello! Thank you for this investigation. The heavy car issue is an elusive beast and we appreciate any community help in resolving this matter. Connecting to PsyNet with high latency should not have any effect on player input, but I'll try it out on Monday to see what happens. To aid in your investigation, here are some points regarding things mentioned in this post:
PC has only been using websockets since April 24. Prior to that communication with PsyNet has been through stateless https requests. So unless your issues just started in the last few days, I wouldn't assume websockets are the culprit.
ConnectionQualitySave just tracks your latency, packet loss, etc to the game servers over multiple matches. This information is used to display a pop-up linking to a support document if a user has recurring connection issues. It is not used to affect your connection settings.
The PsyNet.ServiceCalls metric is just metrics we record that me...
Just curious do you still have any of the early concept versions of the cars? Would love to see them!
When we made SARPBC there were only 10 of us in the company, and a concept artist was not one of them. These cars just evolved as I worked on them and got feedback from people.
:'(
Awww, I didn't forget you, don't worry.
I love Scarab since SARPBC, I wish you the best things in life sir
Thanks, friend. :)
What was your inspiration for this thing of beauty?
It was 11 years ago but I think it was something like...
"Wait, they want me to make HOW MANY cars?!"
Nah, just kidding. Honestly I just liked that it was unique and fun and that the wheels connected differently than they normally would in a car.
As the person who made the original Scarab for SARPBC you're my new favorite person.
Of all the plays you've posted on the subreddit, this is probably my favorite.
This is pretty amazing! Merry Christmas and happy holidays, r/RocketLeague! :D
It's not super obvious what is happening in the gif so I was hoping the name could help clarify that. I much prefer "Wolfdash" :)
Wolfdash sounds like an awesome food delivery service. :D
