Why does TCP have so much overhead? 30 messages that you don't batch is 30 packets either with TCP or UDP.

- holoduke 3y agoTCP got a much higher ping delay. For real fps like multiplayer experience you definitely need UDP. Packet loss should be ignored, not retried.
- meheleventyone 3y agoThis isn’t as true anymore but it’s definitely best practice to build on UDP. Games built on UDP normally have several different policies including the ability to send messages that guarantee delivery even if packets get lost.
