PUN Animator View Lag & High Ping issue
Options
Hi
I am developing a multiplayer game using Free Photon Unity Networking 2 version 2.13. My game is fast paced similar to Smash Bros. My location is Lahore, Pakistan and my nearest region is Asia with 120 ping. I have tried India as well but Ping increases to 250.
I am using Photon Animator View, to sync animators across networks. It does sync but with a minor lag. Here is a scenario. Player1 hits player2. Player2 will not show a response at the Player1's end until player2's end receives the hit call. When Player2 receives a hit call, it plays animation which is then synced over the network and player1 sees the hit reaction. I have a minimum of 120 ping in my region. This to-fro causes a delay which looks very bad in a fast paced game.
I have tried playing hit reaction directly on player2 at local player1, but as its a shadow and the animator of player2 is synced, it gets overwritten and no reaction is shown.
Can you please give me a hint on this ?
How can I reduce my Ping ?
Would buying PUN Cloud or more CCU help reduce ping ?
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Best regards

try sending less data, or upgrading pun.
also check how far you are from the actual server. maybe 100ms is expected in your region.
