Don't send all info of the server to players...

[Nemmyz 4]

I don't get why do you send all entities of the game server to every player regardless of range. It's waste of bandwith.

You should only send information from the region the player is at. There's an undetected hack out there that reads the information that server sends from memory and prints player locations, tents, vehicles, etc on a map.

Please consider this changing this, as you will benefit performance wise and hackers benefit less from using the hack.

Should do a mess of desync...

[Nemmyz 4]

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Only sending the information of entities that the player can actually see isn't going to cause any 'mess of desync'.

[Pirx 0]

Well, it would. e.g. if the server lags and you fly a huey then you would be invisible for any other player because you are far away from then till they vehicle could loaded for them.

[Nemmyz 4]

It doesn't work like that. All the MMO's do this, because sending everything on the map regardless of the players range to the entity is just plain retarded.

How often do you see invisible enemies on World of Warcraft for example(The loading process upon logging in doesn't count)?

that`s quite a good point actually. i`m not sure how easy it will be codewise and how it will affect server load, but it should reduce lag for clients.

i dont think that player that is somewhere near devils castle should suffer fps drop, because there is a lot of barbed wire in cherno

It depends on how big the regions are really, it wouldn't require much resources of the server. But I think the clients performance is the top priority.

Another thing which is the cause for all these 'hackers' is that the game design is just complete crap.. How often do you see a game which can be manipulated to do whatever you want? How often do you see a MMO like that? You don't.

You're simply allowing too much clientside for a multiplayer game.

DayZ is not a game. Yet.

[Nemmyz 4]

The same shit happens on ARMA2 aswell which DayZ is based on. I didn't intend to say it to DayZ developers only. I'm saying it to whole Bohemia Interactive.

I'm not good with this coding stuff but didn't he say this will make it so the server has to do more things then the client?

I love it when people talk shit about a game they have no Idea about, didnt know Arma 2 was a MMO sorry..besides, there is a REASON why you can manipulat Arma 2 how you want, I dont want to go any deeper that would be off topic, but please, if you have no idea just let it be

Sorry to break it up to you, I do know what I'm talking about. I'm not talking shit, I'm talking about how it is. ARMA 2 Multiplayer design is shit and allows too much for client.

HURR DURR xD

Giving the client limited information on a need to know basis is a standard performance optimization and good for security and anti-cheating purposes.

It means the server can cope with more players, players are able to enter the game faster, and any cheats that do exist are reduced in effectiveness.

These issues are present in Arma II by design but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be changed for DayZ.

Man, did you see 5km sniper shots on YT? So, if this will be 'the range of loading', undetected hack will get info about these 5km radius.
