Unity Networking -> Maximum of Players

Hi,

I new to unity networking and I mean doing multiplayer game with unity network not smartfox or other. I want to ask you it is possible to create with unity network multiplayer game with more that 2 players. I ask you that becasue I see only game with 2 players. I do not com across with game with more than 2 player. If you have some great tutorial please let me now I want to create multiplayer FPS game for maximum 5 players.

Yes you can. There isn’t a limit.

Thanks

Vordas,

You can in a sense make the game have unlimited number of players, given you have the experience and the hardware the bandwidth.

For example,

If you have a 10Gigabit internet connection, and you have say 100 people wanting to play, the internet speed is MORE than enough (as that should ideally hold… well… a lot)… but the CODING(or the hardware specs) of the server is poor, then it wont perform well. However, on the flip side, is if the coding is top notch, but you dont have much internet speed, then same problem.

You should in a sense figure out what type of game you’re going to do, then establish if you truly need say… a 100 player server, or if you need say a 100 player chat server, then twenty 5 player servers for the game portion itself.

Good luck to you sir, but most likely, you will be writing your own server to fit your needs. However, there are a few free solutions out there that limit you to…20? or so players for free, then the more you pay, the more slots you get.
