Multiplayer Physics Update – Major Stability Boost!

Drone Wars - riscoss

⚙️ Update Summary

This update continues to improve multiplayer stability and physics synchronization.
Previous builds had occasional desyncs and unpredictable drone behavior when multiple players interacted — these issues have now been greatly reduced.

Multiplayer sessions should feel much smoother and more consistent overall.

🛠️ Changes & Fixes

Fixed several network desyncs affecting drone physics in multiplayer

Improved replication of drone forces and collisions between players

Reduced lag spikes during fast turns or weapon impacts

Improved overall server stability and interpolation

Minor optimizations to projectile handling and VFX sync

⚠️ Known Issue

When drones collide, a small jitter may still appear before stabilization — this is the next focus for optimization.

💬 Developer Note

Multiplayer stability is my top priority right now, and each update gets us closer to a perfectly smooth competitive experience.

If you encounter any new issues, please share your feedback on the Steam Discussions or Discord — it really helps me fine-tune Drone Wars faster.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as I refine the multiplayer experience!

Community Update: Optimization, Dedicated Servers, & The Road to Public Testing!

Method Of Entry - Jamb0

Hello Operators!

As we close out the year, we have some exciting news and a clear outline of the next steps in development for Method of Entry. Let's dive into the progress!

Performance & Lighting Deep Dive

Over the last few weeks, our focus has been on deep optimization work across the entire game, specifically around lighting solutions. We aimed to find the perfect balance between performance and visual fidelity—solutions that are both attractive and performant. Testing: We rigorously explored both Lumen (as a global lighting solution) and various iterations of baked lighting. The Winner: Baked Lighting showed extremely promising results, delivering significant performance increases while maintaining high visual fidelity.

The Results You'll See: Dramatically smoother framerates. Faster load times. Far more stable gameplay overall.

We’re incredibly proud of this progress. For the initial demo and general alpha testing, the finish line is now within sight!

Prioritizing Integrity: Transitioning to Dedicated Servers

We have evaluated the performance of our current listen server (P2P) hosting. The data confirms that P2P does not meet the standard for a competitive, low-latency tactical shooter. Inconsistent connections often meant unstable hit registration and inherent host advantages—things that break the competitive integrity of CQC. Therefore, we have decided to make the necessary jump to dedicated servers. This is a major investment, but it guarantees a stable, low-latency, and fair foundation for every match, finally resolving those host-related registration issues!

The Final Major Lift: Preparing for Public Access!

We have confirmed the path forward: the implementation of dedicated server infrastructure is the last major engineering task required before the game is ready for public access. The core gameplay loop is stable and playable right now. Once the server network is established, our focus will shift to final polish: Aesthetic detailing of the maps. Minor gameplay features and general optimization tweaks. While we will always prioritize optimization based on testing feedback, clearing this server hurdle will allow us to finally outline how YOU can get involved in MoE’s testing phase! Special Thanks: To our select pool of testers—your detailed reports and insights have been invaluable to shaping the game's foundation. Thank you for your continued dedication!
