Reliability types for RemoteEvent

I have a game that needs this feature for a racing game mode. I would really love an update on this!

Bump! This would be fantastic and highly appreciated. Would love to avoid the TCP hangups!

Support, it would be very useful in my opinion. Even 6% of the packet loss is enough to broke your game which is frustrating.

This would be amazing - canā€™t believe it isnā€™t already a thing

Are there any updates on this feature as of now?
Iā€™ve been waiting for a while and I hope to see this added in a near future!

RemoteEvents ensure that all data is recieved by the server, uncorrupted. It your lagging, that could be a while.

Some games fire RemoteEvents every frame or heartbeat, to update something constantly. If they resent dropped packets, it would be wasting effort as more recent packets would have been sent out. We should be able to tell it to ignore dropped packets since we sent new ones out immediately anyways. It will improve latency and reduce data usage!

It seems to be coming down in the chain, brace your selves.

Didnā€™t expect a new instance to do this, but yeah, this is good. UnreliableRemoteFunction probably wonā€™t exist, as they are required to be reliable.

Where/How do you get that information from ?

Here: GitHub - MaximumADHD/Roblox-API-Dump-Tool: A tool that lets you view and compare the latest API Dump files from Roblox's servers.

Just download the .exe, run it, select the zIntegration channel and hit Compare to Production.

(the executable might get detected as a virus)

You can now try them out in studio, you will need to force an FFLAG. You can use roblox studio mod manager for this.
