Snoot, is it server multiplayer, dedicated servers, or peer-to-peer?
So it is peer-to-peer.
We're using a listen server architecture, which means that someone sets up the game and acts as a server, and then when people join their hosted game, they will be connected to it.
So...
That person is the one sending all the updates and everything, which means that the person acting as host probably needs a good computer.
The more that connect, the more strain you put on the host, so to speak.
But there's no matchmaking or anything like that.
We're using Epic's friends lists.
