This. Some months ago I suggested a tweak that might help limiting this problem for owners of an ADSL connection with low upload capability.

You pretty much have to use UDP for packet transmission. You don't particularly want all the features of TCP, and so, according to the article below, some developers tend to use UDP and then cherry...

I've been looking for source for that as well. Seems like a particularly significant thing to state as a fact without sourcing or proof.

Yes please, can you provide your sources? I'm especially curious about a source/proof for the 10 Hz update rate.

Could you please link to some official sources to corroborate these claims? I'm not trying to suggest that what you've said is incorrect, and in fact most of what you've said is likely true given the...

Not just that but the console wouldn't need to maintain as many active connections so there is less chance for packet loss.

And also eliminate most forms of cheating - ddos the server? Well... you aren't helping anyone. Lag switching? Well.. that's going to suck cause you won't hit shit. Packet loss? Sucks to be you, fix...

Are you saying that if Destiny were on dedicated servers all or most of these problems would fix themselves?

Thank you for the excellent write-up! My usual understanding of what's going on in the game amounts to, "I shoot bad guy - why he no die?? GAME CHEATS!!", so the explanation is very appreciated.

More like, have Bungie block people with shitty connections.

Simple fix on our end. Block everyone with a shitty connection.

This is honestly my biggest worry about Destiny 2. I hope Bungie will make some reassuring noises about networking before the game launches.

The distance from the dedicated server can be a problem for users in geographically isolated areas. Australian players will go from playing other Australians to playing Americans on the West Coast...

That would be cost saving.

Cost saving isn't how I would put it. It's like saying taking the bus to visit your parents 3 states away is a cost saving measure vs taking a private jet.

Question : Is there an advantage to using peer to peer as opposed dedicated servers? Or is it just a cost saving?

Funny that you should say that. I live in South Africa and play on a 10bms/1mbs connection (internet is ridiculously priced here). Whenever I play against overseas folks (especially guys from UAE) and...

This is REALLY good stuff, and I hope it goes straight to the top. This is what we need to communicate to Bungie, more than anything else, for Destiny 2. That we understand the issues, and we expect...

Same here, I think if the crucible wasn't riddled with this packet loss situation, it could be a really fun thing to get into. My friend who is pretty die hard Destiny took a break from it to play...
