Help and Feedback Scripting Support
,
#1

In my game (ai squid game - Roblox) I keep experiencing enlarged and abnormal amounts of ping (8000ms) due to the fact that there is a server script in every single humanoid. Network receive is also around the 90kbps - 150kbps mark. Everything is server sided so I am unable to optimize networking.

I can provide code snippets.

#2

Then do provide code, there is very little to work with here other than an explanation…

#3

Do you have a script in which it calls a RemoteEvent?

#4

You need to stay under 50kbs. You need to optimise your networking via reducing remotes or using tools like bytenet max

There are quite literally ZERO remotes in the experience

#7

I cant even fathom what this code is trying to achieve. Regardless, it is terribly written.

I do agree, I was in a rush and made this as a joke but it ended up becoming a full blown project.
