Ping replay setting

[olive herald]

Lets you choose how the replay is viewed -> Opponents ping, server side or your ping
That should let you:

• see if on their or your ping hits should be possibile or not
• rewatch it from your own pov allowing for a more percise analysis
• understand the impact of ping better
• be more sure before accusing of cheating just by how it seemed in the match

Though it might be inaccurate or hard to implement as the ping varies a lot during the fight and saving the file with the ping of both players for every tick (which still may not be accurate enough) might increase the file size of the replay

The idea is that both your opponent and yourself always have the same ping. So I'm not sure if this is going to be added.

[olive herald]

you're right but you would still have a different pov from both players as the pings not gone so only the point that the ping are different from eachother is wrong so i'd still make sense

[lofty roost]

?

Could you please rephrase

[olive herald]

Like even when the ping is the same there is a latency from the opponent pov and your pov

[lofty roost]

Well not really a lot because of the rollback netcode and the optimizations they are going to add.

But you will definitely be able to switch povs/spectate the match in a replay.

But you couldn't replicate it like if it was lan where the ping is basically 0 so there would be a difference, no

sorry if im just being stupid

🧬 Netcode Improvements

To reduce the effects of ping and make the game feel much smoother on cross region fights, we're developing a full upgrade to Minecraft's netcode. Essentially, we're reworking how the client and server run the world and deal with ping.

It's going to be so minimal that's you won't even really realize it.

I'm not sure tho because the replay will basically replicate all the fights "virtually" so it will have a specific set ping.

It's going to be like flashback mod.

[olive herald]

I thought the replay is client sided but I'm not sure if the Netcode changes it so sorry if this post was useless

[lofty roost]

Nah don't worry about it.

Best possible scenario: we don't need this because there aren't ping problems.

Worst possible scenario: people lag a lot not because of ranked but just wifi at home and we might need this

[atomic stump]

they are making is so ping is gonna have basically 0 effect
