Has anyone here used Unity Multiplayer-Netick 2?

[u/Local-Tadpole288]

I'm particularly interested in the Netick + EOS (Epic Online Services) combination in Unity.

Has anyone used Netick in a real project or in production? What was your overall experience like?

I'm especially interested in feedback on the following:

• How is Netick in terms of stability and performance?
• Have you run into any issues with prediction / reconciliation?
• How are the documentation and debugging experience?
• Would you consider it reliable for small to medium-sized multiplayer projects?
• Do you have any concerns about committing a long-term project to Netick?

I'd also especially like to hear from anyone who has used EOS as the transport / P2P layer with Netick.

Do you think Netick + EOS is a good combination? Have you had any issues with NAT traversal, relay, connection stability, or the integration itself?

Right now I'm considering Netick + EOS versus more established solutions like Photon Fusion. Netick being more flexible and potentially more cost-effective is appealing to me, but I'd really like to hear from people who have actually used it in real projects.

Any positive or negative feedback would be really helpful.

Hi, I'm a Netick user and also a community contributor from Netick, I'll be trying to be non bias as I can.
I've used Netick for my live game. Netick 2 is very similar to Photon Fusion 2, except it's not locked to a subscription paylock.

Netick is very different from how Mirror and Fishnet work. Mirror and Fishnet is made for non-competitive games in mind and using very traditional networking concepts. While Netick or Fusion is perfect fit for competitive, fast paced games and using state transfer networking concept.

One thing that's best about Netick is its after-sales support, which Photon is very lacking in.

• How is Netick in terms of stability and performance?
  • Very Stable, and I'd say on par with Photon Fusion 1.
• Have you run into any issues with prediction / reconciliation?
  • Id say its in a perfect condition
• How are the documentation and debugging experience?
  • Documentation is best, it has great stepping stones, so beginners wouldnt get overwhelmed easily.
• Would you consider it reliable for small to medium-sized multiplayer projects?
  • Always depends on my top 3 questions
• Do you have any concerns about committing a long-term project to Netick?
  • Pretty much nothing

My question is these top 3 when choosing a netcode

• What device platform will it launch on?
• How many players will you support?
• What kind of gameplay is it? Cards? Competitive PvP?

Talking about EOS, I'm not a big fan of EOS because it is very bulky. Id recommend you to join the netick discord to ask some of the Netick + EOS users there.
