Thanks a lot, that’s great to hear!
Many of the aspects we criticised in our feedback have been fixed.

Meanwhile I had a closer look at the changes and built my own binaries to try them out. Below is my personal opinion about those changes. My boss at CipSoft and I really appreciate your efforts to improve the project and we hope that my second feedback might cause further improvements.

not-so-good-yet:

  • The complete EntityCache is still in the repository. Is there any special reason for that? I did not find any documentation about that question. The name “cache” implies it is ephemeral data and therefore should not be commited to a version control system.
  • Unfortunately the project still uses uncompressed 4K textures for tiny objects like the flying cars. This unnecessarily increases the file size of the project.
  • The project does not use the lastest version of Netcode for Entities. It uses 1.2.1, but there is already 1.2.3 since 30. May 2024 and 1.3 since 11. June 2024.

better-than-before:

  • All kinds of addresses (IPv4, IPv6 and https domains) are supported in the user interface now.
  • The culling issue of the flying cars has been fixed.
  • Custom (player) names now work even when running the project without using Unity Gaming Services.
  • The settings, for example regarding mouse sensitivity, have been fixed.
  • There are much less unnecessary files within the asset folder.

Those “better-than-before” points address several issues I criticized before. Thank you for that.
