Has anyone successfully dealt with dynamic timeScale while using CSP? There's no built-in timeScale settings in the TimeManager. In some previous version it worked for me when using Yak for singleplayer, but I guess some of the new PredictedObject stuff has put an end to that.
So basically - what would be a good way to implement dynamic timeScale? Most importantly it should work when using CSP (which currently ignores it). Curious to hear your input!

In my game i slow the timeScale for some effects in singleplayer w/ Yak - eg. for picking items from crystals (https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_PhFxzSy0hTTXxXcldKfkqHS9tesU1-v), but there are other common multiplayer scenarios as well, like end of game where the time slowly freezes, pickups or powerups, etc
If there’s a quicker way to do this in a non-networked way I’m also interested since I’m only slowing time in singleplayer 🙂

That would really only be doable if all clients always had the same timescale
Otherwise special user logic would be required either way.
are you using CSP?

Yeah I’m using CSP, but as I mentioned I am only manipulating timeScale in singleplayer (Yak) at the moment so a simple solution for that will also do right now

Sound like you would need to prepare a synchronized and deterministic time scale change

Could you elaborate? Even only for singleplayer?

Sure, CSP is a technique to hide latency between a given client and the server. Whether there are other clients or not beyond that does not mechanically change anything at this level.

Except movement is done at the tick delta. But this value could easily be multiplied by a time speed
