Easiest blueprint multiplayer - how to approach?

[1sirianth1]

Hi Y’all–

I’ve programmed a webserver with sockets, express, etc., with shared NPCs that were coordinated for all players. It was a lot. I’m wondering if there is a simple way to design a multiplayer experience in unreal with blueprints? Should I look for a system in the marketplace? There are several. Should I hack Lyra? What’s the best entryway?

I found several different projects you can purchase in the epic store that allows you to run multiplayer. I haven’t however found any that are “1. first person and 2. steam or epic services enabled.” Has anyone found something like that? I’m looking for something that works out of the box; I don’t want to code it myself.
