Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome tutorial! I loved how you showed us the mistake first and then gave us the fix - it made everything so clear and easy to understand.

[DorjenKneto]

Tbh, this is the best video I have seen. The video is not perfect, but you didn't step away from sharing the mistakes and fixes. Which is awesome. I was able to understand lot of things. Thank you very much for the content mate. Showing mistakes and fixes is the best way to make someone understand things better. Hats off for the effort you took for putting this together <3

I would love to see a multiplayer game that is turned based. Most Unity Content providers are showing samples of the same type of game where they control a player with movement and firing, etc. What about an example of a game where it is turned based and there are components that are not really assigned to a player but to a game manager. For example, if you have a spinner in the beginning of the game where it decides which player goes first. How does this work, do you spawn a network prefab or run an RPC to tell each system to run the same code. And, if so how do you sink the random generator variable because only the host client should actually determine the value. It then gets complicated on synched buttons that are shared. And, if you have a common UI (One that doesn't float over and belongs to a player) how do you sync things like text displays, turns left, money, health bars, etc. There are few examples of this type of multiplayer Netcode games. (Thanks!!!)

The video is great and understandable for everyone.

What an explain for the unity NetCode feature. I am too grateful for you about this video, if you can make another one where you talk about fixing bugs in a DGS NetCode game in unity.

[princejagani]

Thank you so much bro...
I was stuck with the object despawning since a whole day and after this video my game os working fine..
Thanks a lot.. You saved my day

[Melon-me]

Would have finished my project weeks ago if I had found this tutorial from day one. The other tutorials didn't cover the random positions spawning which is what I've been trying to troubleshoot for so long

[traviswoolston]

You talked through this very well! I listened to this in my car after pulling my hair out for hours and the rpc stuff was what I needed to pay more attention to. Also, release that video on network object pooling yet? Really a lack of resources I feel like, the documentation is meh

[Кракенсобакен]

very cool guide, you helped me so much, and yes, can you make a guide where you will make a pvp game? it would be so cool

[haraldgundersen]

Though I bought the udemy shader course to give something back for this youtube tut but having looked at it quickly looks like I'm the lucky one getting added value for my money.. Would recommend the udemy course to others who happens to drift by 🤠

[sairaj]

Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful.

[pepinzachary]

Excellent video, very much appreciate you clearly putting a lot of effort into this :)

[rodrigo.cs.machado]

Hello, excellent video. I would like to know, in your game, how would you change scenes in the middle of the game without losing connection? Where when passing through a portal, both players were teleported to another scenario.

[Hytts]

Good tutorial so far, but what if I want to sync my player renderer mid-session? What if Instead of destroying the player, I want to disable the mesh renderer?
I can't seem to figure out or understand through the documentation on how to sync it properly between both host and client.

[Viezieg]

I did everything as you yet when I start the client, the player does not spawn as when I start the host.

[LesP]

As a "player" I'm using the standard 3rd person armature that comes with the Starter Assets. My problem is that when I press "play" and then "Start Host" on the NetworkManager, my "player" will fall through the ground. I can fix it by setting the ground to something negative like -2 but in the example here, that is not done, everything appears to be left to zero/default. What am I doing differently if anyone can tell from my problem description?

[haraldgundersen]

Would love to see an example using OpenXR.

[wanderingghost]

Hello, great video. But I have questions about the camera. What if this is a fps game where every prefab character has a camera ? How do I remove/disable the other cameras besides the current player ?

[InfernalHedgehog]

I'm using this tutorial to make a first person game, but when i have 2 people in a server, they look out of the wrong cameras. How would I fix this?
