Widgets suffer from network latency, from ping. |
As far as I know all simulation must happen at every player and only "commands" are sent over to the network. Which means that the figure after the quote above does not fit very well with the network model described.
Is this in fact related to gadgets running synchronously with the simulation and widgets not? Writing server in the figure would still be confusing I can imagine in fact that "server" is the local simulation that continues running and the delays are delays of passing the message through various layers/conversions/interfaces which means a command will be given on a "changed" game state than it would be intended.
Besides being curious, I imagine that someone trying to understand the system would be confused if they found somehow conflicting information, so I think it is better try to be as clear as possible - as the other cold takes were, even if the effects described are still the same.
