What MMOs use UDP? Asking sincerely because I have never seen one.
- koolba 4y agoAnything with real time communications like an FPS would use UDP as stale action data is mostly useless. The latest state of is all that matters. Most such games will either layer their own streaming channel atop UDP for guaranteed ordered delivery of important messages or use a separate TCP socket as well.
- xnyanta 4y agoYou must not be looking very hard, pretty much every game engine uses UDP as the network transport. There are some notable exceptions like Java Minecraft.
- Daegalus 4y agoall of them, its been like that for a long time. im resurrecting an old mmo, and even then it was UDP. WoW, FFXIV, ESO, GW2, etc Some might use TCP for login and character select, but its UDP while playing.
- baisq 4y agoWoW is 100% TCP. idk about the rest.
