Dear Friends at Epic,
Well I have fabulous news for you
I’ve now played real multiplayer games via open IP for my own game and also shootergame with
-2 different rocket beta testers, in very different locations from myself (across the country at least)
-3 different Epic Staff members
and we’ve had no trouble getting connected or staying connected!
This is a massive improvement over UE3!
In UE3 WillyG and I could not get Open IP to work at all, and figured open IP was no longer viable and steam was the only way
well
in UE4 Open IP is amaaazzing
no steam UI hassle
no delays
no invites
just instant continuous action
including in my own game made from third person c++ starter kit!
So
congratulations Epic on the awesomeness that is UE4 multiplayer in its current state
please keep it this way
open IP is such a relief,
no steam UI clutter or needing steam client open stuff
just simple IP address
Here’s a pic of my most recent actual multiplayer game for you
