Update 0.8 | Performance improvements

by Zetrith

A new Multiplayer update has been released improving performance and fixing many bugs.

Changelog:

  • Performance in multiplayer should now be on par with singleplayer
  • The game tries to tick at the speed of the slowest player
  • Remove the aggressive ticking option
  • Pings now make a sound on the receiving end too
  • Update LiteNetLib to 0.9.5.2
  • Multiplayer ticks the game once every time it reloads a save (e.g. when creating a joinpoint). This tick is now included in desync traces which might help with sorting out desyncs in some rare cases.
  • Hover over player in chat to see average frame time
  • Hover over ticks behind square to see average map TPS
  • Option to save full replay when in dev mode
