Dead Reckoning - Client/Server game - How to handle keystrokes

I've read a few articles about dead reckoning, but it's still a bit confusing to me. I'm pretty sure I understand the concept of point-and-click movement, but how would I update keystroke movement between the client and server, when the end-point of…

Make Unity3d script run faster or acceleration integration problems

I am trying to implement "dead reckoning" using IMU in my Unity project. Currently I can't get good results: the velocity gets negative, so the character moves backwards, or the character sometimes comes forth and back after moving IMU just forward.…

Do I need to consider using IOCP server and dead reckoning if server sends about 180,000 bytes of packets per second?

I'm currently designing MORPG server and I have a question about which i/o model I should use. It's fast-paced 3rd person RPG and 1~3 players can join a session. In the worst case, about 50 enemies can be shown. I thought this could be too much…
