I’m working on a co-op multiplayer game, and I’d like to regularly do tests in the editor to check replication and make sure things are still working okay even in some undesirable conditions.
However, I know that there’s a certain point where a really bad connection is gonna equal a really bad time and no code can fix that.
That being said, what are the “worst” network conditions I should test under to try to ensure a good experience?
Is this what you are looking for ?
Also a lag compensation of 200ms and a packet loss ratio of 5, are considered a good “worst” efficiency threshold to develop multiplayer around.
Thank you! I have heard of the network emulation, but 200ms and a packet loss ratio of 5 is what I really wanted to hear! That gives me a good environment to test for 
Periodically test with 500ms, 5-10% loss.
I’d also recommend implementing forced disconnects for connections that continually hit a ping threshold and loss %.
Thank you for your insight!
