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.

-**Track UFE Variables:** Toggle so UFE will use the //auto tracking// technique to search for its interface (''UFEInterface'') and attributed variables (''RecordVar'') on its own instantiated classes.

 **Max Fast-Forward Per Frame:** When using rollback, depending on the distance between packages sent, how many frames can your game recover from.

 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'. For more information on Photon options, [[https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/current/getting-started/initial-setup|click here]].   * 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.
