santosh.a Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi guys, We wanted to use Unigine raknet plugin for multiplayer componant but realized that we cannot afford the commercial licensing, especially since we have multiple projects in the pipeline. I'd really like some opinion from you people based on the experiences in your projects. Is RakNet worth investing? Any suggestions on an alternate to RakNet, preferably open source? Many thanks in advance! P.S : Our projects are Simulations, our network needs to connect ~100 PCs so socket programming doesn't look viable.
unclebob Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hello, Santosh! Try this: http://think-async.com/Asio It's a little bit low-level compared to RakNet but still does its job.
santosh.a Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Unclebob, yes we are now planning on using it.
grayfox3000 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 For low-ping solution you can use http://enet.bespin.org/(it's old, but time-tested), and for stable highspeed connection - http://udt.sourceforge.net/
