Regarding Crashes, Lag and Resume Capability
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:11 pm
Hey guys,
A week ago I found out about NeoEE and would like to contribute to some updates and suggestions that I have in mind. I wouldn't want this to be super long so I'll get directly to it.
Promblem 1:
Often times there is a user who lags alot (time to time but not a major one) and would not like for others to suffer because of it. If this persists, no one would want to play with him/her (ever again). Imagine being on the other side and not being able to do anything just because a player lags every min or so (for half a second)
Solution 1:
Have a toggle option before the start of the game that allows people to continue playing seamlessly even though one of the players lags every now and then. (sounds like a win win situation)
Problem 2:
Due to random crashes people may exit out of the game but would like to join in again. Sadly they can't do so.
Solution 2:
Have a timeout function so that if a player leaves, he/she has about 2 minutes to join back in and resume the game else he is declared defeated. (Therefore also introduce a functionality to resume an on-going game)
Problem 3 (minor):
Sometimes after the login screen (for neo-ee) the aspect ratio and resolution shrinks to the top left corner making it very hard to see things and operate accordingly.
Solution 3 is self-explainatory.
I am willing to contribute (wrt coding/modding) and would like to know your opinion regarding this. Hope you can relate to these problems as well.
Cheers!
