Question regarding large 2D Arrays
Options
Hello everybody, 
I'm curious how to deal with synchronizing large 2D integer arrays across clients. From what I've read, I think the best way is to somehow serialize them into a byte array and send them through an RPC, but I'm wondering how much data can be sent through one RPC.
Here is some information:
- they would be anywhere from 100x100 to 200x200 in size
- each player would have their own 2d array
- the array would not be updated very often, maybe once every 10-15 minutes
Does anyone have any experience with something similar? Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

You are better off using byte arrays. I tried sending a 2D object array with an RPC and it always resulted in being disconnected from the Photon network. It's not a size issue because I am able to send much larger 1D object arrays without any problems. I think it's just a serialization issue and PUN just doesn't handle 2D arrays out of the box.
Edit: seems to only be a problem for object arrays. 2D int arrays are not suffering from the issue.0
