WOW is dead simple TCP with smoke and mirrors.
- giobox 9y agoIs it though? https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300479 https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/300479 My understanding is the best video game netcode tends to rely upon UDP for gameplay, TCP introduces way too much overhead to keep gameplay at its smoothest: far better to use UDP and get latest player data as fast as possible, lost packets be damned.
