How does “rollback netcode” work in Dragon Ball FighterZ?
This technique, used in online games to minimize latency and improve the gaming experience, is based on the prediction of player movements to offer smoother gameplay even when the internet connection is not perfect. Instead of waiting for all action data to arrive from other players, rollback netcode allows the game to continue locally on the player's machine while waiting for online information.
If information is received that contradicts the local prediction, the game “rolls back” to the previous state and then applies the correct actions. This simulates the game flowing smoothly even in latency conditions. This feature is especially useful in fighting games and other real-time competitive games, where precision and timing are crucial. In short, it helps reduce the feeling of delay or lag, improving online gaming.
