Multiplayer Best Practices in Unreal Engine
For #NotGDC 2022 I gave an informal presentation for people interested in multiplayer programming in Unreal Engine. This is a recording of our discord hangout.
We go over tools UE5 has for multiplayer development, good ways to use them, things to watch out for, and have a live coding session with examples.

This talk is fantastic and I'm shocked it still has less than 3k views.
I've started learning multiplayer in ue not long time ago, and this video is a total gold! Thanks for content)
Not a UE developer but appreciated the presentation and informative follow up Q&A :)
Thanks for doing this
Wow this video is a gem, thank you!
Maybe I didn't fully understand what you wanted when you were changing the bIsOpen bool in editor but I think PostEditChangeCondition is what you are looking for? It gets called when a property is changed and so you trigger whatever you want from that change
Great talk! What app are you using to draw the notes in? #edit nevermind was mentioned at 1:44:10. It’s called Leonardo.
Thanks ha I had same q
What program are you using to present your work? The one that has a green background with chalk-like text?
Leonardo
Code on github ?
i cant join the discord
I know I ask much but could you make simple example to download?
