Forum ‹ Multiplayer ‹ Guaranteed order and disallowed methods

[GMulligan]

Two questions I couldn't find the answers to in the documentation.

If the client sends two messages to the server are they guaranteed to be received in the order they were sent? If the server sends two messages to a client is the order guaranteed?

In the C sharp documentation it says theres a list of disallowed methods/ classes (I've already stumbled into a bunch of them). Is the list available anywhere for developers?

Hey,

Messages are sent over TCP, so they're guaranteed to be delivered in the same order they're sent.

If we ever add UDP or similar, it will be an option, and not something we'll auto force on users.

It's actually a whitelist of classes.
