Time to upgrade to uNet?

Unity Engine
,
1

I’m currently using the old networking and am gearing up to upgrade to uNet. However I had some questions before I proceed. Right now I have a master server that I compiled in visual studio, a unity project for authoritative server(s), and a unity project for clients.

Most network view prefabs differ from server and client. Such as removing meshes, scripts ect ect… I did this to lighten the load on the server (which seems to work very well). In order to do this I had to manually edit the guid inside the .meta prefab to match server/client. Is this currently possible with uNet?

I don’t know but I read that uNet has terrible latency problems because of the relay server, causing latencies of 500 ms connected to a server hosted on your own PC
Thus rendering it completely unusable for realtime gameplay

i dont think theres nat punchtrough, so no direct connect over internet if you portforward. matchmaking is about the only way for internet play.

I appreciate the info, I suppose I’ll have to wait till it’s more complete.

They’ve released like 5 beta patches so far and I read some of the change logs and they don’t seem to be changing much about UNET so far.
