Best way to get around Roblox throttling remote event calls from client

[habahaba9 (Habib)]

Hello, I was working on a piano game that involved the use of remote events to let other players know when a key was pressed and released. Of course the game runs fine in Roblox Studio however when playing in-game I see the following warnings:

> Player “habahaba9” appears to be spamming remote events.

This makes sense since if you press many keys quickly, which is kind of necessary for piano, the remote event handling the transmission of the notes to everyone else, is spammed.

Is there anyway to disable this or at least increase the allowed threshold of client remote event fires?
Although it would be better if I could disable it all together and implement my own method of controlling the player fire amount, server sided of course.

Thanks!

These warnings aren’t standard/built-in roblox warnings (or at least I wasn’t able to get them to popup personally). Do you have some kind of admin in the game that logs remote usage?

This throttles events from client to server. The goal is to provide a basic anti-DOS mechanism to all games. You can still send events to your clients at any rate that you deem acceptable. The goal is to avoid impact to most places. Simply spamming remote events doesn’t always result in a DOS attack. (in the non-exploited client case specifically.) It is possible some places are currently spamming remotes at a high rate for no useful purpose. This is why we are trying to gather stats and …

"[Player] appears to be spamming remote events"?

More than a year ago, Roblox added rate limiting to RemoteEvents. I’ve tracked every remote I’m firing and I fire, at most, 8 per second. Considering I have games that fire remote events significantly faster than that, and that this code was previously battle tested in manners where it fires its own events perhaps > 30 times a second, this does not seem like something that should be occurring. Removing the core scripts that I could (Sound and Animate) did not help either. Does anyone know what…

"[Player] appears to be spamming remote events"?

We need more information in this and a better way to deal and present it because putting this in the output is not helpful and even obscures actual useful messages. [image]

Sometimes Roblox doesn’t document things but they exist, It is from Roblox’s own code to prevent players “DDoS” -ing games
Try spamming the server with a table value?
E.g what im using: { EventType = "KeyPress", KeyPressed = "C1", KeyTag = "G7M95b127zVYEe5tJHes8b6qqTj05l"}
