Intended use of client messages

[gafferongames]

Yojimbo is the answer to the question, what would the correct network stack for Apex Legends be?

[gafferongames]

Client -> server messages should be control messages. Not stuff like 'I fired my gun' ;)

@gafferongames Thank you for responding! I've been reading your articles, and that confirms what I saw in your tutorial on Deterministic Lockstep. Does Yojimbo have a Playout Delay Buffer internally, or do I have to put that together myself?

[gafferongames]

Yojimbo is just a library for you to define channels for communication, serialization for messages etc. It doesn't force you to any particular network model, although it has been designed with the needs of AAA games. You need to implement a playout delay buffer yourself.

Awesome. Thank you so much!
