Client is laggy

[Enea_Rusconi]

While doing the tutorial i noticed that the movement on my client side is laggy and not smooth like the server, code is the same as the video. If i make the movement only on client it then moves smoothly

Hi and welcome to the community.

The behaviour you are describing is looked at later in the course. Techniques to improve it are shown.

There are also a number of other reasons. Performance of the pc and of your network can cause issues. It is also possible there’s a mistake in the code so check your code against the lecture code to see if you’ve missed anything.

I hope this helps.

Good luck with the course.

Also, if you have “Use less CPU when in background” on in the editor settings, a server can lag out when you tab away from it. It’s like it starts running only a few ticks a second, so it doesn’t update or respont to the clients as fast as expected.

Probably best to just turn off “Use less CPU” when working on multiplayer stuff.
