Handling network latency and security
The culmination of our exploration into multiplayer game development addresses two pivotal challenges: network latency and security. This final section delves into sophisticated strategies designed to minimize and compensate for latency issues that can detract from the player experience, such as employing lag compensation techniques and client-side prediction. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of robust security measures to safeguard against prevalent threats such as cheating and DDoS attacks. By covering these critical aspects, we aim to equip developers with the necessary knowledge and tools to maintain a smooth and secure environment, ensuring both the integrity of the game and an optimal experience for players.
