I think this has been happening for a while… but for whatever reason some of the networking packet simulation settings don’t seem to work anymore. My project currently has these in DefaultEngine.ini:
[PacketSimulationSettings]
PktLag=2500
PktLagVariance=500
PktLoss=50
PktOrder=1
PktDup=1
Now, I’m definitely getting packet loss - but Lag and Variance make no difference whatsoever. This was working fine a few engine versions ago.
Either that, or my netcode is ■■■■ good.
Hey ,
I am not having any issue here simulating packet loss. With that said, I am not using numbers anywhere as high as yours. As an example, here is the numbers I am using:
[PacketSimulationSettings]
PktLoss=10
PktOrder=0
PktDup=0
PktLag=175
PktLagVariance=20
Here is the result of that on a local connection:
Without [PacketSimulationSettings] in the DefaultEngine.ini:
I think maybe the numbers you are using are simply too large. Let me know if you are still having issues when changing the numbers to something lower or if your issue persists through a new project.
Interesting. Thanks, it must be something specific to this project causing the problem. I’ll keep trying.
Kyle,
How did you get that data to appear on your screen like that?
