Feature Request Client-side prediction and reconciliation

Hey, currently Netcode for Gameobjects is barely possible to use for any game having character movement.
The reason for that is lack of client-side prediction solution.

Both approaches (server and client authoritative) have unbearable problems.
Server authoritative has input lag that instantly drives people crazy.
Client authoritative can't calculate precise positions when calculations happen on two clients (they can go through each other during RTT for example).

So, the only possible solution is client-side prediction and reconciliation. This is the most essential thing that literally any game would need to have.

I managed to implement it myself and there are some solution that can do that (although, it's more like proof of a concept).

And I see that it's in "Planned" section in roadmap.

I'm struggling with making it work with root-motion driven character and it's very, very hard for me.
I'm pretty sure that nobody ever tried to do that using Netcode, so I don't even ask for help.

But if somebody from Unity team read this, please consider adding support for root motion.
The only question I might ask is about the current state of client-side prediction feature. Do you think you'll be able to release it during the 2023 cycle?

Thanks!

 

Hate to necro a post, but are there any updates on this?

 

I'm also very interested into client prediction and lag compensation features for NetcodeForGameObjects, as it's already implemented into NetcodeForEntities.

 

Hi any updates from unity side regarding this features?

 

From what I could read, they are planning to unify both Netcode For Gameobjects and Netcode For Entities, but nothing clear, as usual...

They are also planning to unify all multiplayer packages (Lobby, Relay, etc...) into a big one, so I guess there's no one who knows for sure what's gonna happen
