-**UFE 2** comes with a completely revision of its core physics and network mechanics. The second iteration allows you to run online matches in a smooth lag-free environment thanks to its native //rollback mechanics// (similar to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GGPO|GGPO]]) and //deterministic physics//. The netcode also uses raw //manual tracking// to its own variables, optimizing CPU usage (including mobile devices).\\+UFE 2 comes with a completely revision of its core physics and network mechanics.

 If you are making modifications to the source code, specially the core files, there is a chance you could cause an accidental desynchronization. Don't worry, UFE offers plenty of tools for you to try detecting what went wrong. If you are making modifications to the source code, specially the core files, there is a chance you could cause an accidental desynchronization.

 Networking is a relatively complicated aspect of the engine. Don't be alarmed if you can't get running at first. Here are a few hints to help out on common issues: Networking is a relatively complicated aspect of the engine. Don't be alarmed if you can't get running at first. Here are a few hints to help out on common issues:
-  * If you are having trouble connecting to the other peers, you might need to work on your router's [[http://portforward.com/|port forwarding]]. 
   * If you are experiencing lag, try changing the hosting option and protocol under 'PhotonServerSettings'.

   * Make sure you have no 'self-destruct' scripts attached to your particle effects. UFE needs to control the spawn and despawn of every GameObject. If you need to use one, use ''UFE\Engine\Scripts\DestroyScript.cs'' instead.   * Make sure you have no 'self-destruct' scripts attached to your particle effects.
