Everyone should be reminded that players that are on signed up for the beta website get to set it to 700, so more than likely, it wouldn’t matter if chat is going fast, the developer for the game probably may incorporate ‘localized chat’ or bubble chat only and that there would be more optimizations to help devices be able to play with 700 other players in a game.
It’s really just handing the control over to developers to see what they can do to make 201+ player servers actually work or not.
700 players is only possible with StreamingEnabled on my opinion, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is an amazing feature which will be definitely handy in the future!
How will mobile players be affected by this? With 700 players it seems like there will be an insane amount of lag. Games with 100 players in a single server have enough lag already.
Wanted to see how it’d work with a simple game, so I’ve enabled the 700 player limit on the original version of doomspire brickbattle to see how it performs. All credits go to @GFink since I’m using his place and obviously I didn’t make it and only using this for optimisation testing.
Even though I think this can be huge, I don’t really see a use for having 700 players in one server, and I’m guessing a full server of 700 people wouldn’t be very easy on the server haha
It is great to see that you’re optimizing servers to handle more players though, and whilst I probably won’t benefit too much from that, I can definitely think of some large games that will
I’m quite impressed, there isn’t a single game I know of that allows for such massive amounts of players in a single server. Maybe one day Roblox will hit 1mil players in a single server.
Roblox is getting a bit better than their past. I can’t believe we are having big servers! But however, wouldn’t that affect our FPS? This might Be result in a high ping and more servers to handle. And it even might disconnect some people.
I actually know some games that can handle such servers. Black Desert Online has massive servers, and they run just fine. Not to mention that game takes ALOT more to run than roblox.
