Spring RTS Engine

The server regulates game speed based on (by default) the average CPU usage value of all clients, which means players with slower-than-average CPU's will fall further and further behind the reference time but can stay ingame with increasing order latency. Eventually (though in practice never, since...

That doesn't count as desynced, that's being synced with the past, so yes, when they catch up their commands will have a shorter (more manageable) lag. I want to check if my mental model of this is correct. In my understanding, the game host server runs its own copy of the simulation, and computes ...

I noticed that the Syncing System page on the wiki was last updated in 2013. Has the syncing system changed since th...
